Does this sound like you?
→ You have a well-intentioned Vision statement, but you can never remember what it says (…that’s not your fault by the way)
→ A Vision statement is a nice reminder of your purpose, and it helps with external marketing, but you can’t see how it can be a tool to leverage your strategies, get all stakeholders really pulling together or provide you with inspiration for innovation
→ Your Vision statement took a planning committee hours (sometimes even days) to craft, and to revisit or question it now would undo all of their hard work
Everyone has a vision statement...
(Sometimes it's called a mission statement, a statement of purpose or similar.)
That’s true whether you operate an educational organization, a multimillion-dollar healthcare enterprise, a local sports club – and I'm sure it's true for the organization you’re currently involved with.
It appears at the bottom of your email signature, top of your letterhead, or tucked beside your logo as a tagline.
If you’re really lucky, it reads clearly – short and inspirational. But for some, that’s about as much value as it offers.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with that and it works well enough for some.
But for the last 30 years, through hundreds of Masterclass sessions and public workshops we have been showing organizations how to use their Vision statements as a springboard for innovation.
The highest performing organizations aren’t just effective in how they operate, they are driven by a deep sense of purpose and vision.
In highly effective organizations, this ‘Vision-alignment’ is so pronounced that a clear line can be drawn between what their Vision statement says and how they conduct their day-to-day affairs. Everyone in the organization simply gets it.
In our experience, only a fraction of organizations truly operate in this way.
But not anymore…
