In times of rapid, pervasive change organizations need to redefine what they are about constantly and challenge the ways they do business in order to prosper. It is no longer possible either for a company to retain the kind of vital, creative people it needs unless it manages to keep its values in line with their values and their common purpose. To succeed today, a company needs to create a shared vision that expresses a unified purpose which incorporates shades of the many different values of its people.
In this book you will find a process that assists in clarifying values, focuses missions for individuals and groups, and helps develop the kind of vision needed to meet the new challenges it faces. And, by putting forward this vision with clarity, an organization can give its people the framework they need to make decisions consistent with those shared values, to be creative, and to act on opportunities that arise. This is the organization of tomorrow.
