Phase 1: Visualizing the Ideals

“Visualizing the Ideals” is the team members’ agreement of the “why” or purpose of our innovation and the “what” or “Desired Future State” the innovation will be. “Visualizing the Ideals,” allows the team to head in the same direction, to start, be focus, be committed, and to see the project to the end (Papageorge). With shared ideals, the team became committed, bound and determined, to see the project to the end, which is part of the team’s common “Desired Future State”. The “Visualizing the Ideals” has helped the team, by providing clarity, a sense of direction, and the setting of the team’s priorities. In addition, it has helped the team’s commitment to each other, for members to stay motivated about the project, to using the team’s resources better, and the “how” and “why” of the team’s decisions. One of the ideals the team visualized was our purpose, the “why” of “why do we want to do this innovation project and why do we want to innovate?” The team’s purpose is than to “We will provide consumers the most innovated products that return the greatest value back to them.”The other visualized ideal is the “Desired Future State,” the “what will this innovated project be in the end?” and the “what will this look like?” Workplace Innovation Team 5, “Desired Future State” is “We will become world’s most valued innovation team, by creating new and innovated products that return the most value back to the consumer, by respecting each individual, and respecting the earth.”
