Dream:
In the Dream phase the participants explored “what might be”, their hopes and
dreams for their work, their working relationships, their organisation, and the world
at large. It was a chance to engage in thinking big, thinking out of the box, and
thinking beyond the boundaries of what had been in the past.
Design:
In the Design phase the participants had to make choices about “what should
be” within an organization or system. This was a conscious re-creation or
transformation, through which such things as systems, structures, strategies,
processes and images will become more fully aligned with the positive past
(Discovery) and highest potential (Dream).
Destiny:
The aim of the Destiny phase was to initiate a series of inspired actions that would
support ongoing learning and innovation - or “what will be”. It focused specifically
on personal and organizational commitments and paths forward, resulting in an
array of changes and action plans.
