Speaking in Decades

Long-Horizon Commitment

Definition

The ability to make and maintain commitments across timescales measured in decades. Long-horizon commitment requires mechanisms that survive leadership turnover, political change, and institutional amnesia.

Example

A 50-year infrastructure commitment must survive 12+ elections, numerous government reorganisations, and complete staff turnover. Long-horizon commitment requires structural protection, not just intention.
