Definition
• A training tool
• A means of making an abstract vision concrete
• A way to gain involvement of employees in vision implementation
• An opportunity to collect feedback on the vision & improve it
![Page 3: Imagimap Preparing visions for implementation 13th Annual Conference on Training and Learning May 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f115503460f94c245a6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Basic assumptions
• Companies function best when they work from clear visions
• Vision allows the company to align resources and increase impact
• The most difficult step in the process is translating the vision to clear action
• Lack of implementation is what causes most visions to fail

How Imagimap works
• Groups of employees are given an explanation of the company vision
• Each group is given the Imagimap “kit”@
• The group is instructed to build a model that demonstrates what the company must do to achieve the vision
• The group explains its model

How does it affect employees?

education and information between employees
• Competition reinforces motivation• Concrete multi-sensual stimuli
strengthen learning

results

How to get best results• Make sure before you start that
the company is committed to implementing the vision
• Create a management committee responsible for implementation that reports to CEO
• Implement the Imagimap as part of an OD process
