Co-creation of vision - mission - values

What are the differences between a project you are delegating to implement and a project co-created and being implemented by your employees?

Project delegated by you

You are setting the scope and therefore the limiting boundaries
Timelines will mostly be stretched or passed
Budgets are often overspent
The results are what you targeted

Project co-created by employees

different minds and perspectives define the scope and potential disruptive ideas
Timelines are kept and adopted with the scope
Budget will be kept through the joint common team spirit and objectives
The results are overpassing the objectives

For organizational design to support desired behaviors of employees, their needs and aspirations must be reflected.
By inviting employees to be co-designers of organizational change, co-creation allows organizations to identify those needs.

And to have a joint North Star to follow a co-creation of a vision is a starting point to get the excitement and involvement.

A mission created by the team will ensure that the roadmap to the vision will be followed.

Co-created values are the basis of a successful collaboration and business.

Co-creating together is a process and needs reiterations. Here is an example of an online co-creation process we used by one of my customers.

We did several online 90 minutes workshops with different teams, involved 61 people worldwide and got 151 inputs to work with.

Recently Marie-Therese facilitated and helped us with the online co-creation of Vision, Mission and roadmap for a new initiative focused on the transformation. I enjoyed our close collaboration very much especially for her energy and passion. As a facilitator, she created trust and equal opportunity among the team members to bring up the best. It was my privilege to work with her in different topics over the past years at Uster which was also a learning opportunity for me personally.

As a person, Marie-Therese is kind hearted and willing to go an extra mile to help everyone to see their potential during the task and achieve the agreed goal. Her calm, openness and friendly approach made everyone at ease and feel reassured. I’m glad that we achieved our goal within a short period of time while still having some good fun and laugh along the way.

What are the benefits of co-creation for you and the business?

The collective wisdom of your team will bring out unexpected, innovative and disruptive ideas
Timelines are kept and adopted with the scope
Budget will be kept through the joint common team spirit and objectives
The results are overpassing the objectives

How do we start?

1. Depending on the size of your team, either invite all or ask who wants to be involved by having a predefined number of slots available to get a good mix of age, gender, locations, departments, functions.

2. Agree with your team on what the common objective is. Do you want to create a purpose, a vision, a mission, the strategy or values?

There are still confusions of what exactly are the differences between those terms. Therefore definitions with visualizations help before starting co-creation process.

3. Preparation of the objectives and the different workshops (1 - 3 rounds will be needed) with a couple of volontiers. Not necessarily leading roles, a mix is great.

4. Get an experienced visual communication specialist on board.

5. Send out invites for the workshop with context and pre-information.

6. Conduct the workshops, adapt the timelines where needed.

7. First 2 workshop rounds will result in drafts of the vision and vision statements.

8. The final workshop round will be a feedback round with volontier input givers.

9. The visualization will be finalized with the final vision.

10. Your vision is ready to implement. (and implementation is key).
