What is a Vision?

Vision: Why Bother?• A good vision, mission, values and goals is capable of guiding

your everyday steps to achieving a great workplace – your ultimate “Coach”. At worst they create huge obstacles to success because they are confused, uninspiring and lacking in clarity – together they then become the Coach you need to fire ASAP.

Benefits of a good Vision• Speed up our decision making, • Know where to focus resources, • Be more efficient and• Ensure every action builds towards the future your designed.

Definitions – Vision, Mission…Vision: A short, inspiring statement of where you’d like to get to. It provides a unified direction for everyone in an organization and is a continual source of inspiration.

Mission: How you intend to get there by being the best at what you do. Your Mission is like an over-arching stretch goal that you aim to achieve over time which utilizes your organizational strengths.

Values: Guiding principles which affect how will behave every day on the way to fulfilling your mission. Usually 4-6 values or statements

Goals: Key benchmarks for achieving your mission (must include quantifiable targets). Usually next 3-5 years. Then broken up in to sub goals.

Just to clarify, some people use these definitions: “Vision” = “Purpose” and also “Mission = Purpose”; “Values = Guiding principles” and “Goals” = “Objectives or targets.”

A Company Vision Should Be:

• Massively inspiring• Overarching• Long-term• Driven by and evokes passion• Fundamental statement of the organization’s

• Values• Aspiration• Goals

Examples of Good Vision Statements• Walt Disney: To make people happy

• Nike: To experience the emotion of competition, winning and crushing competitors

• Les Mills International: Life-changing fitness experiences every time, everywhere

Vison, Mission… Drive Business Value

VISION + MISSION + VALUES + GOALS = THE ULTIMATE COACH TO ACHIEVE A GREAT WORKPLACE

Miller and Cardinal’s (1994) meta-analysis found that strategic planning affects firm growth and profitability. In particular, they found that:

• Planning performance link true for formal and informal planning.• Planning performance link even stronger in turbulent environments.• Firm size unrelated to effectiveness of planning.

Survey Questions - Vision

Sample Employee Comments on Vision

Articulate and Communicate a Clear and Compelling Vision“I can't say that leaders of the organization have painted a picture of the future of our agency. Most of their actions seem to be reactive to issues/funding changes that come up. It doesn't seem like there's a proactive approach to planning the future of the organization from my perspective.”

Decisiveness on Clear Priorities“Improve priority setting, as it seems everything is a priority.”

Ways to Improve Organizational Vision

What Goes Wrong? The Pitfalls

• Benign neglect: management doesn’t understand employees’ need to be a part of the vision

• Impatience: an inclusive approach to vision-building can be costly and time-consuming

• Communication: the Vision stays on the top-floor – it’s not communicated well

• Alignment: strategies and processes aren’t aligned – so the vision becomes meaningless (in the employees’ eyes)

Start from the Bottom-Up• Inclusiveness and Involvement is Key!• Already have a vision? Put it out for

comment

• Still Crafting or Evolving your Vision? Seek input

• Potential Methods:

• On-line forums• Townhalls (live or virtual)• Lunch/coffee chats• Any way you can start (and record) the

conversation

• Expect it to be agenda-driven, not necessarily with the high-level view.

Visioning and Business Planning Workshop• 1-Day workshop which is

the culmination of the consultation phase

• 3 Phases: 1. Visioning Phase2. Goal and Objective Setting3. Action Planning

Important Elements of an Engaging Vision• Audacious

• Capitalizes on competencies

• Futurecasting

• Inspiring

• Motivating

• Purpose-driven:

“Your vision gives employees a larger sense of purpose, so they see themselves as building a cathedral instead of laying stones.”*

Futurecasting: Thinking “Back from the Future”• People generally have difficulty with projecting into the

future.

• So, get them to think in the past:

• “It’s 2017, think back on what your organization has achieved in the previous three years”

Don’t Try and Wordsmith in a Group

• Wordsmithing a vision statement in a group is time-consuming and frustrating

Express the Vision in Themes – in the Future State• In 2016, we believe DENVER* will:• Be recognized as:

• The Hub for Energy & Innovation• A model for advocacy and

relationship building, administrative efficiency and service delivery

• Have succeeded in changing policies and reducing protectionism, particularly in agriculture

• Have the highest client and stakeholder satisfaction among US posts; and,

• Be the “Go To” post and central gateway

Goal Setting and Action Planning• Visioning is about dreaming. But, we also need to bring it

down to earth.• The remainder of the workshop should be to:

• Identify goals and targets around key themes – always looping back to vision

• Develop action items and concrete plans to achieve

Communicating and Living the Vision• Including/involving employees in your vision is only Step 1• Must- communicate it widely: Reports, Presentations, Townhalls, Back of

business card, wallet cards, Posters/Frames, Strategy Maps, Videos, Podcasts, Stories
