Description

eaders! Unlock the mysteries of the vision statement using systems and design thinking, Jodah and Dan welcome back Sense & Signal alum Dan Edds and Dan Torres to explore how leaders can use systems and design thinking to craft effective vision statements that will give their organizations long-term direction in complex environments.

Beginning with a vision statement quiz and a challenge to create a parable about contemporary organizational vision and leadership modeled after Plato’s allegory of the ship, they delve into a comprehensive discussion about the purpose of vision statements, their relationship to concepts such as distributed leadership, how to craft vision statements that can shape organizational culture, why leaders must develop vision statements from the ground up, and how leaders need to support the vision statement once it’s implemented.

And they do come up with an updated allegory that incorporates contemporary organizational leadership and vision statements with systems and design thinking.
