Vision, Mission and Values Alignment Workshop

Course Description
Recent studies have shown that an organization is likely to achieve its goal if everyone in the organization sees it and can imagine the steps to get there. This is the reason why many companies craft their Vision, Mission and Core Values statements. A company VMV generates a common goal, hope, and encouragement; offers a possibility for fundamental change; gives people a sense of control; gives a group something to move toward; and generates creative thinking and passion. Visionary Companies however are not defined merely by the statements they post on the wall. They are defined by the way employees live by the company's core purpose and philosophies. The aim of this program is to help the organizational leaders align their operations and their people. We devised various means to help them appreciate the concept, put them in the right context, review and redirect their actions towards becoming more consistent with the VMV. The participants will walk away from the program with renewed inspiration and a clear set of strategies for aligning their performance and behaviors with what the organization need to be consistent with its vision mission and values. Our facilitators will use an integrative approach that include concept orientation, structured learning experiences, brainstorming and workshop to help participants appreciate and contextualize the key learning points of the program.

Workshop Objectives
