What you will learn
- Engage in long-term thinking to combat the tendency for short-term thinking to undermine innovation and employee engagement within a company.
- Go far beyond vision statements as you find, generate, and clearly articulate the "big ideas" that inspire collective action within a team or organization.
- Use of concrete, sensory language and storytelling to avoid vague, "blurry" visions and help them come to life.
- Connect strategic planning, vision and big ideas to the organization's ESG commitments and sustainability commitments.
- Explore the connection between vision and agile development, and how to "productize" it for successful execution.
- Strengthen the foundation for agile execution by focusing on how the four key pillars enable vision and big idea activation within a company or stifle innovation and relevancy.
