“A vision for change clarifies road ahead” (Cawsey, Deszca, & Ingols, 2016). I drafted the following vision statement to support the organizational change I am striving for in Week 8:

To be a world class HR organization that provides superior HR support for the optimal employee experience.

“Vision statements should have enough rigor and ambitious enough to challenge employees to reach their full capacity in an organization (Hoeller, 2016).

To make a human connection with every client and through that human connection tailor individual and personalized financial solutions. Provide the tools and resources that will align clients with their life priorities. To create a digital platform that provides everyday accessibility to financial solutions. All while practicing an inclusive approach through worldwide connections and customer-led banking experience. Finally, continue being a big bank with a small bank feeling”

The purpose for this vision statement is to transform a traditional financial institution into a financial institution that is future, and technology driven. In a world where technology is virtually everywhere and at the tip of our fingertips, it is important to provide financial solutions with a human approach and available 24/7. Money is among the number one commodity for humans and being able to help achieve life priorities with a personalized approach and human touch is vital in a competitive world. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (2018) “A vision statement looks forward and creates a mental image of the ideal state that the organization wishes to achieve. It is inspirational and aspirational and should challenge employees” (p. 1). When I think of banking, I don’t think about going into a financial center. I think about my phone and computer and being able to have access to my finances and for someone to provide financial solutions fast and efficiently. When in need of going into a banking destination, I expect a human approach that includes a personal connection.

Vision statements should “provide guidance and direction for action” (Cawsey, Deszca, & Ingols, 2016, p. 120). The vision statement for the change initiate I have identified is: Mobilize, motivate, organize, orient, and focus the attention of the noncommissioned officers (NCOs) assigned to the unit on training and how to conduct training effectively; encouraging these NCOs to change and learn better ways of training their subordinates.
