Vision & implementation

I read an articles today about changes in IS department in Toyota. I think it is interesting so I write it down :

1. Start with vision – Th new CIO start with a vision and then tell it to the other members. Some are interested to the new approach and some are not. But the key is in the socialization process.

2. Implement vision – Vision is not a words placed in the wall in Toyota IS Dept. The new CIO build a team consist of 8 person. This team responsible to translate this vision into actionable items. They called this team Toyota Value Action Program.

This 2 things is really important when you are setting vision. Great vision required great actions and implementations. Without one of it, it will be useless and questionable by all of the team member.
