Pathway: Craft a compelling vision

Pathway

Craft a compelling vision

Craft an organisation vision that is compelling to those who work in the business, but also meets the owner's aspirations.

Why is this important?

  • Aiming at nothing will see you hit nothing
  • A vision gives you a North Star, a direction to head to
  • To engage your people in the journey

How does this pathway work?

This pathway is where the owners and leaders of the business craft a vision statement for the business.

Your vision statement should be an aspirational statement of the future state of the business.

What makes a good vision statement?

We believe you can ask yourself a few simple questions that determine whether your vision statement is good or not

  • Is it looking five or more years in the future?
  • Is it future-focused but written in the present tense?
    • ‘We are’, not ‘We want to be’
  • Is it a stretch? Is it audacious?
  • Is it inspirational?
