Crafting an actionable vision statement is at the core of Without a Vision’s service, with all other services truly centered around this. A strong, actionable, defined vision statement can be used to guide every other decision that employees make within a business or organization. For this reason, every business and organization benefits from the adoption of a strong vision.
A good vision serves as a litmus test for employees: does the project or task they’re working on bring the organization closer to the shared vision? If not, does it make sense to be doing it still?
So, why not do it yourself? Indeed, many will try. There are a couple key reasons the world’s most successful organizations use external consultancies:
- Time. There’s never enough. Crafting a vision that will actually be adopted and implemented successfully requires dedicated attention — it’s not a “when there’s time” kind of project. Hiring a consultancy affords you the extra time by calling on an expert in the subject. Remember: it’s not just about writing down an idea: it’s also enumerating how this idea will come to life.
- Too in the weeds. Crafting a vision that sticks needs to be done from a bird’s eye view, but it’s challenging to do while running the day-to-day of an organization. In fact, even when many leaders do find time and the ability to look holistically, it often leads to unintentional situational bias with stifles the ability to succeed from the start. After all, if it were easy to accomplish from within the hustle and bustle, wouldn’t you have done so already? Without a Vision brings an outside perspective, capable of recognizing organizational blind spots. With less skin in the game, it’s easier for an outside player to offer candid, uncensored guidance which will enable your business or organization to reach that next level.
An analogy that many find helpful is trying to find your way from an address in Saint Cloud to an address in Minneapolis you’ve never heard of with no GPS to guide your way. You might have an idea of where to go, but you have to take it turn by turn, and you aren’t likely to take the most efficient route. Is there unexpected traffic or road closures? Is one route faster than another. Instead of looking at street level, moving to a bird’s eye view of a map can solve for this. Suddenly, we can map the exact distance from point to point and anticipate upcoming obstacles.
That’s what Without a Vision does. You might be able to get there on your own, but our goal is to get you there with the least friction possible — that means less stress, fewer wasted or misspent dollars, and grander accomplishments.
