Healthy Vision

What is a healthy vision?

Imagine your business five years from today. What does the office look like? Who is working in the office? What kinds of new products and new customers do you have? What revenue and growth goals are you reaching? What kinds of obstacles are you facing? A business vision is not a mission statement or an excel spreadsheet. It’s a mix of practical and hopeful. A business vision generates tangible goals and a plan for how to achieve them.

Why is a healthy vision important?

When we’re clear on where we want to go, we are more able to cut through the noise and the day-to-day of our work and make strategic impactful decisions. We can invest in solutions and partners proactively, instead of reacting to unforeseen obstacles. And, we can rally our team behind us — ensuring everyone is focused on the same goals.
