Team Visioning Process

Consider these questions, one by one, to create a clear vision for your executive team in building the future of your company

• What is the thrust for business development? What is the driving force?
• What is the scope of products and markets that will -- and will not -- be considered?
• What key capabilities are required to make the strategic vision happen?
• Who are the stakeholders of this company now and in the next several years?
• How do we work with them? How do we produce value for them?
• What are the most influential trends in our industry?
• What marketplace forces are occurring that will affect our market space?
• How do we compete? Who are relevant competitors?
• What are the relevant economic, social, political, environmental, and technological influences that we need to incorporate?
• What is our unique contribution to the world around us? What is the impact of our work?
• How do we make money? How do we gro profitability?
• What does our organization structure/framework look like? How do the important elements of the infrastructure interact?
• How do we handle good times? How do we handle hard times?
• What are our values? How do people treat each other? How are people recognized?
• What truly motivates you/what motivates the people at our company?

After each of these questions, ask: "How would we measure our progress?"
