Building Shared Vision

Shared visioning is the first step to become an organization that sustains success. It is a crystal-clear picture of what the organization will deliver.

We have spent much of our lives studying and practicing the research of John Edwards, Jim Butler, Peter Senge, Peter Block, John Kotter, James Kouzes, Barry Posner, Jim Collins, Art Costa, Victor Frankl and Michael Fullan. Each one speaks to the power of shared vision as the essential tool to guide change. Bow to the data created by these authors. Make your shared vision your FORCE! Caress it and hug it. Hang all action from it. Articulate it every day. If you make your shared vision the most important factor you pay attention to in your organization everyone else will as well.

Over the past 36 years we have designed an internationally acclaimed process robust enough to provide a rock-solid base for effective organization change. Our process is flexible enough to work across any organization context and culture. The shared vision process encompasses the beliefs and experiences of everyone in the organization community. No one will buy into change if their ideas and life experiences and values have been ignored or undervalued. Our life experiences and beliefs and values drive our actions. The starting point in organizational change must be to tap these resources to create a shared vision.
