Miss Adeline Quarshie, Managing Director of Credence Micro Credit
In a fast-growing and competitive business environment, the greatest asset that has the potency to drive an organization into success is ‘focus’; otherwise known in the corporate world as “VISION.” Whilst a vision is the reason why a business exists or may exist, the ideal thing is to work towards, with and around it.
It is quite paradoxical that inasmuch as the vision is the reason for the existence of the organization, the aim is not to exhaust the vision but to work with it.
Achieving a vision would simply mean that the spirit and life of the vision have been exhausted. In other words, once a vision is achieved, there is no reason for existence any longer.
The existence of the vision is the reason for the existence of the organization. However, in an ever dynamic, a more civilized and technologically advanced world, both people and all other institutions including non-governmental organizations, social groups, churches, small and medium enterprises and of course corporate entities have come to the realization of the concept, role and value of a vision in the success story of every institution, hence, its patronage thereof.
To illustrate the seriousness of it; in our world today, institutions, both formal and informal spend countless hours, days, months and sometimes years to brainstorm on what the vision of the institution should be. There are some experts who are paid to construct a vision or even to vet the viability of a vision.
Adding up, in most churches and corporate institutions, one would see the vision boldly written and displayed on walls that is visible enough for the eyes of all. It would also be seen displayed on their respective websites and all other outlets.
This has become so because studies have shown that one of the grounds upon which confidence is reposed in both people and institutions is through the availability of a clearer vision. By a vision, the future success of an individual or institution could easily be predicted since vision dictates the mode and attitude towards work, operations, decisions and choices.
That notwithstanding, in an unfortunate turn, vision seems to now have become some sort of especially a corporate cliché. Some institutions are having visions stipulated for many different reasons. Some, it is because others are doing it; to others, it seems to be some kind of a corporate formal protocol that is to be followed to the later but not because they believe and understand the importance thereof.
Interestingly, a careful study of some organizations with regards to their attitude towards work, investment direction, operations, directions, decisions and choices, would indicate that they are estranged from their stipulated vision. It is interesting to note that most organizations go on the internet to surf and search for already made visions.
How unfortunate! A vision is meant to be the drive that wheels the actions of the organization. It is supposed to be inherent, internally motivated from deep within the soul of the entrepreneur.
Going on the internet to surf for a vision and make it your own may seem easy and straight forward. It may sound nice and catchy yet it would be devoid of sincerity, honesty and above all the spirit which is meant to be the life of the institution or the yet to be institution.
