The Vision
Painting a picture of the future can help you keep motivated and inspired in the process. A key factor in keeping the people involved motivated in long-term processes is making the process they are contributing to as transparent as possible. In this vision activity, you will discuss your goals and define a shared vision of the facade process in three different steps.
​
​
The elements of the vision activity:
-
A space to build together a sticky message that serves as a vision statement for your VvE management team.
-
Three slots to describe what is essential for you as a group and a template with the Five Whys to discover the more profound motivations behind being part of this group.
-
A template with the Golden Circle activity by Sinek (2009) for discovering the value proposition behind your team.
01
The 5 Whys
In this part of the exercise, you will use the 'Five Whys' technique to get to the heart of the facade project. Each answer immediately sets the stage for a new question. In this way, you will be able to iteratively identify the most important aspects and drivers behind the facade process.
02
The Golden Circle
Here, you will use 'The Golden Circle' model thought out by the author Simon Sinek. The purpose of this model is to identify what a particular organization or product has to offer in comparison to others. Like the previous activity, it can help you understand why you and others participate in this facade process and construct together a shared vision.
03
The Sticky Message
In this section, you will use Sticky Messages that are catchy phrases that help your team be reminded of different goals and visions in the project. Sticky messages are often brief and concise and can help you frame the project's goal in an appealing, communicative, and tangible manner. They can provide a lasting incentive for all the people involved to contribute to the facade project.
