Editorial Reviews

Review

C. Patrick Lewis presents an insightful model with practical tools for shared visioning. The great value of this book lies in the tools Mr. Lewis provides. This book should help anyone struggling with visioning to actually implement a process for their company. A real how-to-book.

The author provides a blueprint for visioning that executives can use to think more strategically about how to gain a competitive advantage for their organization. Lewis concept of improving organizational effectiveness by building a shared vision among its constituents gives executives an important new way of thinking about old (but still essential) planning processes.
