Dream about and envision a more desired and fulfilling future. In this step,
participants use the themes and success factors from the first activity to develop
compelling images of the future. In this visioning exercise, participants are encouraged
to make bold and provocative propositions about what could be in the future.
To arrive at a bold vision, small groups share their greatest hopes or act out skits
and presentations that convey what they believe is possible. Unlike open system
or open space methods, there is very little prioritizing or culling out of the best or
more compelling themes. The positive approach believes that breadth and inclusiveness
are the most important way to galvanize organization change.
