“Vision … the act or power of imagination.” The process of imagining the desired future for your organization is often referred to as “visioning.” It is a powerful exercise, practiced by many organizations, to focus them on achievements that will help ensure their sustainability.

“To build a super-regional firm on a solid foundation of commonly shared values and deep expertise, with totally satisfied team members and totally satisfied clients.”
Have you created a vision for your organization?
The visioning process is a key element of effective strategic planning and is really quite simple. The steps can be summarized as follows: • Assess the forces affecting your organization, leading to opportunities. • Assess your organization’s talent and other capabilities – your resources. • Compare the opportunities identified with the organization’s resources to identify existing strengths and gaps.
