Testimonials “The evening was perfect to give us creative

ideas to…set…our goals and objectives.” “They came and did a ‘session’ with our club…

helped us to ‘think out of the box’ and produce some visioning ideas through interactive brainstorming activities…”

“It’s amazing that we came to consensus in such a short time from such a diverse group.”

What Is “Club Vision”? Dynamic Management Tool

Defines a shared commitment

Provides long-term direction

Creates a framework to establish goals and objectives

Optimizes use of resources

© International Vision Facilitation Committee 6

Failing to plan = planning to fail

© International Vision Facilitation Committee 7

Why Is A Vision Needed? Tradition of annual cycles breaks

continuity, consistency and consensus. Clubs end up “re-inventing the wheel”

instead of moving forward. Vision keeps forward motion on critical

issues. A Club with Vision “sees” the reality of

today with the possibilities of tomorrow.

whose worth and purpose lie in future activity rather than past

performance.”

Excerpt from RI Strategic Plan 2010-2011

The Visioning Process Be bold and think

outside the box. Suspend your

practical side. Allow yourself to

dream grand dreams.

The practical sorting process will come later.
