 Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Visualization was my tool of choice to convey the vision for my new company to potential board   members . Visualization is a great tool for me to use when I am attempting to communicate ideas that   are more complicated , such as compartmentalizing structures and developing new systems .   My   challenge here was to accurately convey my message to potential board members so that they could   clearly see my vision for the company .   I conducted a hybrid style visual presentation that included   usage of power point slides and white board .   I decided to include the white board , not only because I   wanted to show them the processes that we use & the flexibility of development , but I also used the   white board for them to convey their interpretations and how they viewed their individual roles in the   company ’s development .   Considering that this is my first start up business sharing control with a team , I   wanted to ensure that my message is clear and concise . 

 Application 

 I began my presentation with power - point slides of the company vision & mission statements and then a   diagram of the company and its ownership structure .   At this instance I used the white board to show &   explain the ownership transitions that will occur after second quarter and the effects that this could   have on the board .   Next , I needed to convey their role in company decision making and with their   relationship with the President / CEO .   This is important because this established a clear picture in their   realization of how Holding Companies operate differently that operationally functional Companies work   and their relationship to those ventures . A moment of clarity was the realization that the boards control   over these ventures was at its strongest in forming the venture , but significantly lessened after the   venture was commenced . I used the power point to show how the ventures were distinctive . I used the   white board to provide a picture example of a parent raising a child in phases until adulthood with the   childhood being the formation process into completion of adulthood , or commencement of business . 

 One slide stated : “ To understand the purpose of my vision , I need you to answer the following question :   1 ) If money were no object , what are three things you would do differently ? ” .   At this point , we used the   white board to briefly determine how “ lifestyles ” would be affected . The purpose of this exercise was   for these potential members to understand the monetary base - line for company requirements so that   the they understood that their positions & compensation would be based on productivity & diligence   and to know the actual numbers that would be expected .   At the close of the presentation and closing   remarks I offered a challenge to create a story board on how they envisioned the company ’s   development under their service ; and how that would affect their lifestyles . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I like the visualization technique because it permits a more accurate conveyance of my vision in this   case . Using the white board along with the power point slide helped to enhance the experience by 

 answering questions through visualization rather than attempting to convey them with words alone .    Keeping people engaged in meetings and conserve time while being productive is important to ensure   that everyone sees the vision in similar union . Using the story board helped me determine whether to   extend offers to these potential board members . On the strength of that picture board exercise , I   decided on presenting three ( 3 ) of the five ( 5 ) potential members with invitations . 

 Though I do like story - telling , I realize that story telling can be enhanced by visualizing some of the   concepts of the story that can be misinterpreted by words alone . I used the story board to show   potential company growth of structure and operation . I do think that story telling based on verbal   communication alone has its place and it does well for me in situations that call for instruction on   processes .   In regard to making important executive / board hiring decisions , I think this presentation was   very effective . 

 On the flip side , I also think that my presentation qualified for boosting my credibility and increases my   probability of success in my petition to sit as initial CEO .
