7. © International Vision Facilitation Committee 7 Why Is A Vision Needed? Tradition of annual cycles breaks continuity, consistency and consensus. Clubs end up “re-inventing the wheel” instead of moving forward. Vision keeps forward motion on critical issues. A Club with Vision “sees” the reality of today with the possibilities of tomorrow.
