Eight steps to a vision of greatness

1.        PICK YOUR TOPIC

Because visioning can be used for just about anything, it's important to start by being clear about what you're working on.

2.        PICK YOUR TIME FRAME

How far out should you look? There's no right answer, but as a general principle, visioning works best if you go far out enough to get beyond present-day problems but not so far

3.        PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF "PROUDS"

Think about the work you're embarking on, and throw down a list of past positive achievements that seem at least somewhat relevant 

4.        WRITE THE FIRST DRAFT

Writing a vision is hugely important, but don't let its perceived weightiness work against you. The amount of time you spend drafting it is, in my experience, generally unrelated to the quality of the vision.

5.        REVIEW AND REDRAFT

When you're ready to revise, read your draft through from start to finish. Don't erase anything. If you're on the computer, start the second round by copying your first file so you can edit what you wrote without losing the original version. In my experience, at least80 percent of what is in that first scary rendition is pretty right 

6.        MORE REDRAFTS

 If you want, you can take this second draft and make additional adjustments. But at some point, you had better get your butt in gear and move on to Step7.

7.        SOLICIT INPUT

This is where you let the cat out of the bag and get input from people you trust and respect. But remember that it's your vision, and you're not obligated to change anything.

"Don't let people beat the passion out of you!"

 

8.        SHARE THE VISION

Finally, it's time to share the vision with everyone who will be involved in implementing it. When you roll out your vision to the bigger group, it's inevitable that people will ask questions about how you intend to achieve the vision. They're asking you about the how. The vision, however, is the what. It's totally fine if you don't know how you're going to get there. Later, you will figure out the how.

It is very important to identify the "owners" of the company and/or the "key stakeholders"  ... These - or their authorized delegates are the right people to talk to about the company vision.    Sometime and for existing companies who need to take a fresh look at their vision (and possibly mission) statement,  you need to be in direct communication with top=management ( chairman/president, board of owners/shareholders, board of directors, CEO and CxO team members,  line (functional) management, and possibly middle-management and key/power players

 

Once you are there with the right level people,   it would be nice to conduct a3-3 days workshop with help of an external facilitator/moderator with proper experience in  this kind of work. 

 

I have been doing this already and I can tell you that there is no fixed presecription for doing this.   The facilitator/moderator coming from outside the organization need to be able to speak to these senior people at their level, and using their language and terminology,   He should be knowledgeable and experienced in the industry/business sector this organization belongs to, and he needs to gain these people trust and confidence to exchange thoughts, ideas, dreams and visions without barriers and without limitations.

  1. When I do this job myself, I usually take the first day to speak to these senior-level people, listen carefuly to what they have to say about it, take notes, compare and analyze, find things in common and things in contradiction (!) , come up with hints and tips, prepare some forms/questionnaires, and ask all participants to answer them,
  2. In the2nd day, I run a one day workshop with the participants divied into work groups, each group developing its own verson of the vision statement.
  3. In the3rd day, I conduct a group assessment of these statements, find the excellence points in them, and try to consolidate the work in one vision statement that wins the support and endorsement of all participants

I hope this is of help .... 

Thanks and best wishes
