These slides from Kawasaki's blog show how Visioning fits into contemporary business thinking. My team at Bridging Futures uses a full-day visioning workshop as the opening portal to success thinking. The Your Vision on Hot Wheels is a half-day workshop, the next step in the visioning path, to actually plot a map to a selected vision. These charts give me ideas for charting Bridging Futures use of visioning for local businesses and non-profits.
From a review of Kotler's new book by Robert Morris:
When concluding their brilliant book, Kotler and Caslione quote Arie de Geus's observation, "The natural average lifespan of a corporation should be as long as two or three centuries." What are the common characteristics of companies that have remained in business for that long, or longer? Arie de Geus cites four: sensitivity to their world around them, awareness of their identify, tolerance to new ideas, and conservatism in financing. Today's business leaders need to recognize and take into full account "the new normality - heightened turbulence and chaos." With the capable assistance of Philip Kotler and John Caslione, they will be much better prepared to respond effectively to it.
