More of the Vision Thing
May 27th, 2003 by Hal
Donna Fitzgerald writes a regular column for Builder.com, The Nimble Project Manager. She's been writing about Peter Senge's Fifth Discipline. She's still it at: Shared vision: A key to project success.
Donna explores two issues of vision in detail:
(F)irst is the explicit concept of shared vision that focuses on capturing, communicating, and reconciling our goals and our methods for achieving those goals. The second perspective is that all organizations have an implicitly shared vision, which manifests itself as what is most often referred to as the corporate culture. In addition, this implicit shared vision influences, at a significant level, how we manage our projects.
Donna takes the space necessary to share context and develop her ideas. Hang in there with her. It's worth it.
