What is Envisioning a Culture for Quality?

Envisioning a Culture for Quality is an interactive team exercise that raises awareness of behaviors that contribute to high-quality service while building participants’ consensus decision-making skills. Developed by Dr. Robert A. Cooke, the exercise challenges participants to rank order 24 behavioral norms in terms of their impact on service quality.

How does Envisioning work?

Solutions to the exercise are developed first on an individual basis and then by groups.  Individual and team solutions are compared to the ranking and rationale based on the results of research carried out on over 350 organizations, departments and work groups.  Comparisons between participants’ individual ranking and the Culture for Quality Ranking indicate how well they are exercising their knowledge, skills, and experience with respect to
customer service and complex problem solving. Comparisons between participants’ individual scores and their team’s score indicates whether they were able to achieve synergy by fully using and building on their collective knowledge and skills.

The exercise takes approximately 2 to 2½ hours to complete, including scoring and debriefing.
