Abstract

The familiar song lyric says, “On a clear day, you can see forever”. It is a nice thought but, in reality, we cannot see very far without having a clear, well‐reasoned and mutually agreed vision. It is becoming apparent that even our most successful organizations are amazed at their own lack of agreement concerning their corporate vision. It seems that organizations and their members are not always aware that they are running in different directions. In part, they seem to have their vision (a desired end) confused with their goals and objectives (the means to get there). Presents a model for a visioning action plan that is intended to encompass all organizational stakeholders. The model fosters participative agreement concerning who we are now and a vision for who we want to be, as well as the means by which we intend to realize that vision.
