Spring into the future by completing a Cover Story Vision. This process features your group as the cover story in a major magazine imagined five years in the future. Major accomplishments are headlined, identifying the hopes and dreams for the organization. This guide is excellent for breakout groups.

Use this template to brainstorm ideas about your organization’s future. In this process have your group imagine itself as the subject of a documentary film. The group will design a movie poster based on the title, main story line, secondary story lines, additional themes, the cast and the supporting crew. Includes free Leader’s Guide.

This Guide provides a useful framework for recording the compelling themes coming out of a visioning session. The outer circles capture the vision themes, the center is used to record agreements on the central mission, and the extending rays are used to elaborate on vision themes. This Guide is also great for a brainstorming session using sticky notes!

This Guide uses the metaphor of a journey through an environment toward a goal to integrate conclusions from your strategic-visioning process. It shows the history and core competencies fueling the vision, movement through current and future challenges, and the desired future state. This is an excellent Guide for more extensive visioning sessions.

As strategies and goals become clear, use the Graphic Gameplan to sketch out action plans. This Guide helps a group clarify where it is going, what it has to work with and the key steps, success factors and major challenges, all in one place.

Stakeholder mapping identifies who is connected with an organization’s success and provides a context for deciding which groups should be the focus of communication efforts. The Stakeholder Map can be used at the beginning of a planning process, during explorations of the relevant environment, and after visioning to determine what needs to change to support a new vision.

Valu e Propos i t i on Gr i d

Organization Processes

A value proposition—sometimes called a business-success model—is used to anchor agreed-upon direction and vision strategies. Used after visioning to help define what’s being offered to target customers, the Value Proposition Grid is used to focus and test strategies while providing a foundation for process changes needed to become more successful.

The Organization Processes template defines three top-line processes: people, public image and performance, juxtaposed against bottom-line processes including planning, prioritizing and production. A clear definition of these processes facilitates a whole-system understanding of your organization. Once a full set of processes has been proposed to support a value proposition, a strategic vision can be implemented.

Commit Actions to a Schedule

The Graphic Roadmap is a big picture of actions and target dates for deliverables on a project or an organization-change process. It helps project or management teams visualize the action commitments they have made. Visions and priority objectives set direction for a team, but roadmaps illustrate the specific “route of travel.” A signature element is the identification of “milestones.” These are the key dates for events and deliverables that everyone will work to achieve.

Side-By-Side

Use this framework to gather themes, brainstorm ideas and discover connections. Record the key themes or ideas in the ovals and then add more details. As connections emerge, draw lines between related themes. This template is also great for capturing the big ideas, and then going back and adding details at a later time. This is also a fun way to capture lots of ideas as a tablecloth in a World Café process.

This template provides a simple way to build understanding of similarities and differences between two ideas, products, services, brands and so forth. You can also gather perceptions of a current situation or experience versus an ideal, or “What’s Working” and “What’s Not.” Use more than one template to do more cross comparisons (side-by-sideby-side-by-side). For deeper learning use pictures for each distinct idea and look for similarities and differences.

Stra te gic V i s i oni ng St ar t up K i t Lead a Visioning Session

Using six full-color, wall-sized Graphic Guides® (see page 4), lead your organization through a visioning cycle to deepen the group’s understanding of its environment and focus on its future direction. Each Graphic Guide is accompanied by a Leader’s Guide that describes how to use it with a group. The Strategic Visioning Startup Kit begins with the Graphic History to map the group’s history. Next, use the Context Map to scan the current environment. Identify organizational realities with the SPOT Matrix. With the information from these sessions, have the group use the Cover Story Vision to imagine where it wants to be in five to ten years. By fleshing out the ideas that come through the Cover Story Vision, you can then consolidate your vision in the Five Bold Steps Vision. Finally, create a plan for putting your vision into action with the Graphic Gameplan. Strategic Visioning Startup Kit Includes:

SUSTAINING 10.1 TPModel ©1993–2000 Allan Drexler & David Sibbet

Teams are the building blocks of contemporary organizations. If teams and their leaders aren’t productive, an organization will struggle to be effective and profitable. Our approach to team building is based on the Drexler/Sibbet Team PerformanceTM System, a widely used model and suite of tools for creating and sustaining team performance developed by Allan Drexler and Grove founder David Sibbet. These tools provide team leaders and members with clear, visual frameworks for developing teams and implementing practices that lead to high performance.

Tea m Leader Gui de— St r at eg ie s a n d P r a c t i c e s Solutions for Common Team Leader Challenges

After years of research and refinement using the Drexler/Sibbet Team PerformanceTM Model (TPM), The Grove is proud to announce the update to our popular Team Performance—Creating and Sustaining Results team leader guide. The new Team Leader Guide—Strategies and Practices contains a selfguided orientation to the roles and responsibilities of team leaders focused on getting results with their teams. The guide includes a full explanation of the TPM, and a set of 12 Success Strategy Maps geared to common team leader challenges (such as starting a team, team decision-making, progress reviews, and leading actionlearning projects). These Strategy Maps illustrate which of the 85 best practices (compiled at the back of the guide) to apply and in what sequence. These best practices are presented in an accessible, page-at-a-glance format keyed to stages of the TPM. This guide’s accessible, collaboration-oriented approach addresses co-located as well as dispersed teams, implementation and leadership teams, single-site and cross-boundary teams, single-culture and diverse-culture teams. TLG–1020  •  $85

PLEASE NOTE: The practices in the Team Leader Guide are similar to the practices in Best Practices for Facilitation. Please call us if you have any questions.

Self-Scoring Form and Guide to Interpreting Results

The Team Performance Indicator is a fantastic way to assess how your team is doing relative to each of the seven lenses of the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance™ Model (TPM), and provides an opportunity to consider whether and how the team should change.

TEAMING

The Indicator consists of 21 items that define some critical aspect of team performance, such as “Our team goals” or “The results we produce.” The individual results of the Indicator allow teams to gain new insight into the similarities and differences each member has regarding the lens they are looking at and where there is convergence around the need to change. The Indicator is also a catalyst in creating effective communication around issues blocking the team. Once the assessments have been completed, the team leader or consultant has visual (and quantifiable) data on the current team view. This snapshot becomes a baseline to check progress after a series of actions have been implemented to resolve issues.

In our 25 years of working visually, The Grove has worked with most of the markers, paper, tape and other graphic accessories that are available on the market. Through experimentation and innovation, we have gathered together the cream of the crop.

Fa ci l i ta to r’s Tr avel Tube

SUPPLIES

Worry about traveling with your precious facilitation materials no more! We’ve found a hard plastic carrying case that is perfect for a rolls of paper or up to 10 Graphic Guides®. It also has wheels for pulling behind you. The Facilitator’s Travel Tube allows you to check your supplies easily at airports and not worry about them getting damaged on the way to your next consulting gig. Laurie Durnell, Grove Senior Consultant says: “With the Facilitator’s Travel Tube, I feel confident the charts will arrive safely when I check my luggage because security can easily open and close it. On the way out it’s spacious enough to hold two 25-yard rolls plus pre-made charts, and coming home I know the meeting charts will arrive well protected. The wheels make juggling my wall charts, luggage and carry-on a breeze. Plus I look more professional to my clients wheeling in my sleek Facilitator’s Travel Tube rather than lugging in a box the airlines beat-up.” FTT–1040   •  $105

Charters® markers’ specially formulated chisel tip is perfect for thick and thin lettering. It is sturdy enough to hold its shape without becoming mushy, yet forgiving enough to give you smooth, sharp lines. Our inks were chosen for their vibrant color, excellent coverage and lack of odor. In addition we have increased the ink-carrying capacity by 25% to make them longer lasting. Charters come in eight colors and are non-permanent and non-leaking.
