 Aristotle:
"The Soul never moves without a picture"
Does your organisation have tunnel vision?
Purpose
To create the
building blocks of your organisation's own future. Without
vision you merely exist as part of someone else's objective.
General
Visioning is the articulation of an organisation's core
values together with the associated mission and goals which
are derived from these values. The leadership team must
be involved in the compilation of the vision if it is to
gain their commitment and be accepted throughout the organisation.
- Values: The fundamental beliefs the organisation
stands for.
- Mission: What we are, and what we want to be.
- Goals: What we are committed to, and where we
are going.
Power is the leader's
capacity to translate his or her vision and associated values
into reality, and to sustain them within the organisation.
To have faith in our own future competences as members of
our organisation we must firstly believe in ourselves and
our colleagues not only within the organisation, but within
the community.
In this ever-changing world core values are the only thing
that need not change. Values determine company culture,
structure and effectiveness.
Method
The event builds upon the concept of the Learning Organisation.
A consequence of learning how to learn is an increased awareness
of one's true self, and what you really believe in. This
usually results in a need for the leadership team to clarify
its core values "with respect" to the organisation
as a learning community and consequently as an agency of
profit optimisation.
The leadership team meet for three days over a period of
three months to articulate the vision. This work is preceded
by data collection from individuals on company performance
and "the way things are" at present. Individuals
are assigned responsibility for specific goals according
to their specialism. The promotion of the vision is also
planned and carried out by the team together with long-term
monitoring against the vision statement.
