Book 5: Initiate, Inquire, Imagine, Innovate

3. Imagine

The Imagine part of the plan focuses on forming a route of action for all of the ideas and brainstorms previously collected. Its purpose is to determine what needs to be done and how it can be carried out. Once a stable vision has been designed, it can be shared with other employees to ensure their participation. Ensure that the plan is introduced with a positive attitude and outlook to encourage employees into the plan and make them feel more confident about moving forward. Whether done in small or large groups, every employee should have a positive outlook about moving forward with any action plan.

Examples:

• “What common ideas and themes did we find?”
• “What do we need to change?”
• “What steps do we need to take now?”
