Unified Commitment Through a
Compelling Vision
...inspire
and build on dreams and aspirations
In
researching thousands of successful companies for their book:
'Built to last: Successful habits of visionary companies', James
Collins and Jerry Porras discovered that those companies with
a clear and enduring vision of their future, outperformed the
general stock market by a factor of 12 since 1925 (HBR 1996).
A compelling vision sets out what the organisation
really believes in, and what it is going to do about it. It inspires
passionate and resolute pursuit of the goals by engaging with
people at a spiritual level, through their core values and their
true aspirations. A compelling vision provides a real way for
us all to be winners, part of an irresistible, and inevitably
victorious, team.
QFD provides a means of developing such a
vision; creating a clear and compelling definition of success,
and then encouraging the whole organisation to explore its implications
for them as teams and individuals. QFD provides cohesion and
a practical basis for deploying the resulting commitment through
all of the levels of the organisation; making teamwork a reality
for all, no matter what the size of your organisation.
Tesseract's approach is to work with its
clients to draw out their own energies and aspirations, and then
to help them to develop this into a powerful framework of visionary
statements that will inspire and harness all of the resources
of the organisation to its common goal. (See the right hand column
for links to case studies on this)
In 'Philosophy'
we look at the mechanisms of developing compelling visions and
values in more depth, we look at the principles
that underpin the approach and we look at the tools
that support progress in it.
