Creating Your Organization's Future:
Full Steam Ahead!
"One of the top three strategies for competitive advantage must include having a clear vision."—Fortune magazine
Building a shared vision and values
If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there. Without a vision, resources are underutilized, organizational purpose is unfulfilled, and individual energy and momentum are misdirected. A shared vision is critical for organizational success and renewal.
A clear vision liberates energy, promotes alignment and focus, and ensures proactive, productive action. A shared vision allows individuals and organizations to expend less energy and to maximize output. A clear vision aligns people, passion, resources, and energy in the appropriate direction. Creating Your Organization’s Future: Full Steam Ahead! (CYOF) takes participants through the process described in the book Full Steam Ahead!: Unleash the Power of Vision in Your Company and in Your Life by Ken Blanchard and Jesse Stoner. It guides participants through the steps to create a shared vision for their team, department, or organization and helps them identify the strategies and actions needed to make their vision a reality.
