Presentation: GROUNDED VISIONING:
CREATING A SHARED VISION TOGETHER FAST
========================================================================
This talk
introduces Grounded Visioning, a new methodology for creating
shared vision fast. The method helps
diverse groups of people come together and discover the common
ground that unites them, and does so with remarkable speed.
Teams
can develop a shared vision in two hours or less. Multiple
stakeholder groups as large as 150 or 250 can find common ground
in four
hours or less. The method is the subject of a 2009 book entitled
Recharge Your Team: The Grounded Visioning Approach.
Expect
to:
1. Learn the six steps of the method;
2. Get
an experience of how it
works;
3. Hear cases of it in action, and
4. Understand
some of the theory that makes it as powerful as it is simple.
DAN MEZICK SAYS:
You want to attend this meeting if you want
the teams you are commited to, to be GREAT.
Team greatness is
literally IMPOSSIBLE without that team being in a stated of
shared vision.
If you want your teams to have a legitimate
shot at greatness, attend
this meeting !!
Do you actually want greatness for your teams?
Jay is local to Boston and is a highly experienced
and skilled facilitator. I know Jay through a mutual friend,
Harrison Owen, the creator of Open
Space.
I
immediately
purchase
Jay's
book and then contact him as a result of that introduction.
"Shared
vision" is a model of the work and the team, held by and
between all
team
participants.
This team state is an essential of high-performing (GREAT)
teams. Jay's
technique is
based on
Appreciative Inquiry and is one of the best techiques I have
ever heard of for quickly getting teams to a state of [Shared
Vision].
Bringing Jay Vogt into our community is an
intentional act.
He has something very important to say.
You do not
want to miss this meeting.

Activities are things that users do towards achieving
