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.”

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.

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
Copyright©2015, Talent Map. All rights reserved.
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)
28

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.

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.”*
31

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”
32

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
34

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
35

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
