This book fundamentally reframes the possibilities for how visionary thinking and the creation of shared visions can positively impact an organization’s ability to facilitate change.
Whatever kind of change facilitator you are, be it business or NGO leader, internal or external organizational development consultant, coach, or educator, you already know the importance of inspiring change around critical organizational challenges. But you may be tired of investing energy, time and money into change initiatives that are difficult, if not impossible to implement due to a lack of organizational focus and alignment.
This practical step-by-step guide will arm you with tools and strategies for facilitating change through engaging your teams and stakeholders in creating, communicating and implementing shared vision, whether the changes are large, medium or small. It enables you to access a team's innate creative capacity to envision meaningful solutions to critical challenges facing the organization – solutions clear and motivating enough to provide a framework for making decisions today.
There are many books that explain the "whys and how’s" of creating and formulating a vision statement. What's missing, however, is a deeper understanding of the real possibilities and broader impacts of visionary thinking as an approach to proactively addressing change. This book is about accessing the collective intelligence of a team to identify challenges and discover new opportunities critical to the future of your organization.
In this book, co-authors Marjorie Parker and Anna Pool share strategic insight on how to provide visionary leadership that is future-focused, innovative and inclusive. Marjorie Parker is an organizational consultant who during her long career has focused on partnering with organizations searching for new ways to support creativity and innovation.
Anna Pool has dedicated over 20 years of her career to talent management consulting, executive coaching, and facilitation of leadership and organizational development. Helping leaders lead organizational change through shared vision is so important to the authors that they have provided exactly what you will need to start creating futures that matter.

A native of Rochester, Minnesota, Marjorie resides in Oslo, Norway. She has consulted with senior management in Norway's leading corporations, health care institutions and government agencies and has been a frequent speaker at international conferences on creativity and innovation.

Peter Senge, author of the acclaimed book The Fifth Discipline, wrote the following in the foreword: "The story told in Creating Shared Vision is fascinating. It should be mandatory reading for those interested in revitalizing their organizations and in moving toward becoming learning organizations". The story of Creating Shared Vision has been a feature of a BBC/Open University production. Marjorie is also co-author of Dialogue - A Practical Guide (in Norwegian). She holds an M.Sc. from International Center for Studies in Creativity, Buffalo, NY. Today Marjorie focuses on mentoring organizational consultants who are searching for new ways to develop a more creative mind-set within their own client organizations.
