The purpose of the ongoing process of stating and discussing the vision is to buttress and develop the most critical factors in the development of organizational culture: the web of shared assumptions, beliefs, and values that unites the group in mutual solidarity. In the ordinary bureaucratic organization these things are rarely examined and discussed, rarely made explicit and public, rarely challenged. Indeed, in ordinary organizations there is little even in the way of vocabulary for talking about such things, and the professional usually drives such conversation out, so that the norm in the organization's culture is to avoid such discussion altogether.
