Your Organization needs this Workshop!
Often, mission and vision statements are confused for each other, and are written more as a marketing tool than a driver of strategic clarity and superior organizational performance. This workshop sets the record straight and forges a deep familiarity and commitment between employees and the organizations they serve.
Overview
An Organization's vision is one of the most crucial but least understood aspects of strategy. What can leaders do to transform their employee's relationship with the vision and mission so that there is a clear and meaningful line of sight between their day-to-day work and your ultimate goals and business objectives? This workshop takes participants on a journey deeper into the vision statement, helping them unpack concepts, make sense of them from their own unique points of view, and infuse a deeper sense of both individual and collective clarity and commitment.
Throughout the workshop, participants are compelled to think about how they stand in relationship with their organization's vision including how they contribute, reinforce or serve as change agents to problematic aspects of their culture.
