VISION & STRATEGY
As you prepare to tackle a transformational effort, a critical first step is to align on what the future looks like. A successful strategy starts with a clear vision.
Visioning is a powerful tool, and when fully developed it has more applications than many people realize. It clearly shows the intent and direction that is key to achieving strategic initiatives.
Below, we've compiled our top resources to help you create a compelling vision of the future and design a clear strategy.
Taking an Innovative Approach to Plan a 20-Year Vision and 5-Year Strategy
Oregon Museum of Science & Industry (OMSI) reached out to XPLANE when they wanted an innovative approach to their visioning and strategic planning process.
Our inclusive and co-creative approach engaged all stakeholders to develop and align on a clear 20-year vision and 5-year strategic plan that drove change from within.
As a result of this approach, stakeholders saw a clear connection to how their work contributed to the vision, and overall OMSI saw a 58% increase in admissions revenue, 35% increase in overall revenues, and record program enrollments.
Seattle Humane — Vision 2026
After reimagining their vision of the future for 2026 and beyond, the Seattle Humane Society engaged XPLANE to bring their strategy to life by creating a clear activation plan and roadmap.
Using a co-creative approach to unpack their strategies, XPLANE created a vision map and interactive site, which provided a visual compass that enabled stakeholders to explore the vision up close. XPLANE then worked with Seattle Humane’s team to document the strategic initiatives, success metrics, and governance model in a strategy playbook that served to effectively communicate their new vision and strategy.
