Mike McMaster, I appreciate your explanation of deconstruction and the
metanarratives of business. You have made me realize that we get in to
bad habits more often than not. We always talk about "-a-" vision, when
in fact there might be as many visions as members in an organization. I
think that the term used this way really refers to the "official vision
statement of the organization," is it is possible to use the ter in this
context. This official vision statement may or may not guide people
within the organization, this depends on many other factors. But, I think
that the vision statement, the "managerial mind" of each individual member
on the organization, contribute to the members' thinking of what the
organization is, where the organziation is going (even if it is just
speculative), etc. I believe that the dialogues may contribute to the
"alignment" of more (as opposed to less) members' own conception of the
organization.
Is this making any sense?
Ivan
