20 Vision Exercises for Group Workshops

by David Williams

Overview

This mini-book features exercises and workshop activities that are especially useful for people who are involved in creating, refreshing or implementing a vision for their organizations. These activities demonstrate that a �vision statement� does not have to be (as they so often are) a specimen of convoluted corporate-speak or a hotch-potch of platitudes. You will enable a clear understanding of �vision� as an inspiring picture of the future � a desired outcome. By drawing out their dreams you will help participants shape something meaningful and memorable, a vision that will be a genuine asset to their organization. All the activities have been personally tried and tested by the author over many years of working with a variety of sizes and types of group. Preparation is minimal � many of these exercises require only the space to work in; others are easily prepared in advance by following the guidance given here.
