Essentials about Visions

• Ideas versus visions.

• Visions facilitate the convergence of work in a team.

• Visions are persistent and dynamic - they are matured.

Representations and dialogue matter

Representing Visions• Two dichotomies:

• Concrete versus abstract.

• Simple versus complex.

• Concrete means that the vision offers an immediate experience.

• Abstract means expressing the vision as a thought without any physical or concrete presence.

• Simple means that the vision is uncomplicated in form.

• Complex means that the vision consists of interrelated parts or aspects.

• Vision representations may be combined.
