What have other executives gotten out of our workshops?  Here's some of the things they say...

VMCL is a revolutionary approach to defining a company's Vision and Mission statements. More importantly, once the Vision and Mission have been defined it's the ability to keep your whole company focused on those two critical things (V&M) by using and understanding Capacity and Learning. I would highly recommend using VMCL at any company regardless of size or maturity.

We used VMCL to develop our Vision-Mission and Systems to concept a new organization that would be the basis for a large USDA grant. The VMCL process transformed our inter-agency group into an integral team with a clear direction and action steps to get there. As a result, we received larger long-term funding and were ranked among the best of applicants.

I thought [the VMCL workshop] was great. I've done several "mission vision" sessions in the past. Yours was different. In a good way. It forced a different way of thinking, with a clear goal: get it on the blueprint. Very effective. Forced concise thinking that had clear meaning.
- Steve De Marco, VP Sales, Xactly Corporation
   

Don’t let the simple elegance of the VMCL model fool you.  VMCL is a powerful tool that provides a focused roadmap in uncertain and chaotic times.  I was introduced to VMCL more than a decade ago and have used it in business, educational, and personal contexts. I have seen many models but none that better addresses what leaders and organizations need to thrive in today’s global economy.
- Scott Campbell, Dean of the School of Graduate & Professional Studies, Edgewood College

   
The science and structure behind the VMCL Model from ThinkWorks is unlike anything I have experienced. It was extremely relevant and helped Xactly create the basic constructs to architect a powerful and unique Vision and Mission with which we can now align our Systems and wrap a Learning strategy around. We also came out of the session with a blueprint we can now communicate, measure, and monitor.

  In a volatile market like real estate, comprised of numerous independent agents who must work not only to serve their own interest but also the interests of my company, VMCL offers a framework that I can use to not only adapt quickly as a company to market forces but also ensure that each person is internally motivated and working as part of an integral whole.
