Visioning

• What is Visioning?– A highly participative approach to goal setting for

groups of all sizes.

• When to use it? – When members need to clarify their own thoughts

and then share those ideas with each other. To create a clear, shared statement of the desired future.

Scenario We still need to write the correct one.

Close your eyes and look at the calendar. You see the months and the years passing by until we stop at 2020.

To help participants determine their goals, we utilize a visualization exercise. The visualization exercise should guide the participants through a scenario ten or more years into the future. The scenario should paint a picture in which the organization is achieving tremendous success. The key is to help the participants visualize the various areas of success (e.g., customers, products, image, etc.) without specifically citing what the success was.

Questions:

Imagine that it's exactly two years from today:

- Describe how we now serve our customers?

- What specific improvements have we made?

- What are they saying about us now?

- What problems have we solved?

- What specific outcomes have we achieved?

- How are people behaving?
