When using the term vision for managing an organization, to vision is to look into the future and imagine how much better it can be. After all, is that not what continuous improvement and preventive action really is?

Managers who practice visioning will be the company leaders of the future who drive business process reengineering. Furthermore, a company without visionary leadership will continually struggle to survive. Even ISO 9001:2008 emphasizes the importance of management leadership to meet the customer’s needs and quality objectives.

 It is clear in today’s economic challenging times to see those companies who have vision are also those companies not suffering or threatened by bankruptcy. So how do we as managers’ vision? We often think that visioning is a character attribute that certain people are born with. Often we believe that very few people have this attribute and therefore leave the visioning to them. The truth is that we all can vision the future if we set aside the time on a daily basis just for that purpose.
