Vision Platform principles
Deep and broad buy-in emphasizes achieving extensive and profound support across the organization. This involves engaging all levels, from top to bottom, in strategy co-creation and execution planning. The aim is to foster a sense of ownership and alignment with the goals and strategies, ensuring a comprehensive and committed involvement from all stakeholders. Ultimately, the goal is to maximize both the depth and breadth of buy-in throughout the organization.
Diversity equals better decisions highlights the idea that diverse groups, when engaged in co-creation and open dialogue, can lead to improved decision-making. This is achieved by fostering an environment of psychological safety, encouraging healthy debate, and facilitating cross-departmental communication. While achieving 100% consensus is rarely effective, valuing individual differences is crucial. By democratizing communication, we can tap into a wide range of perspectives and experiences, leading to more informed and effective decision-making.
Amplify human value optimizes processes and practices, fostering continuous improvement, and leveraging technology to empower employees. This includes challenging assumptions, actively listening to feedback, streamlining decision-making, and maintaining consistent criteria. It also involves enhancing productivity through AI and efficient workflows, enabling rapid scalability, and fostering agility to maximize the contribution of individuals and teams within the organization.
Deep and broad alignment entails achieving input and buy-in across various aspects of an organization's ecosystem. This involves harmonizing the purpose, strategies, messages, and actions of the organization, ensuring that words align with actions. It extends to aligning collective purpose, values, brand personality, internal culture, and value proposition across the ecosystem. This alignment spans both long-term and short-term goals, influencing decisions and measurements. Additionally, it marries strategy with portfolio, projects, and analytics, eliminating rogue work that doesn't align with the organization's overarching objectives and vision.
