Inspired, high-performing organizations evolve organizational structures appropriate to their vision. They recognize that vision, alignment, and personal 3 . I I I Knowing that we can create what we truly want, each of us has the opportunity to rediscover and reaffirm our own vision of organizational greatness. Rather than burdensome prOblems to be solved, current organizational circumstances can be viewed simply as indications of how far we have come in the creative 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I process. We can use our vision and the new paradigm to accelerate this process. Obstacles become vehicles for learning rather than enemies that destroy our efforts. We can support others in organizations from a new perspective. We can "teach people how to build a new City Hall, not just cope with the old one." This may involve engaging people in the process of creating a vision. It may require working with many complementary visions and helping people discover the common purpose that aligns them. We can support people to believe they can create what they want, reach for what they truly value, and take personal responsibility for both their vision and existing circumstances. Understanding that a vision without a foundation is only a daydream, we must ensure that the vision is grounded in clear action steps with measurable outcomes. We need to work systemically and focus on results. Within every organization lies the potential not only for success, but also for greatness. As practitioners, our commitment to the highest in ourselves and others remains the vital difference in nurturing this greatness into reality. Guided by this vision, every technique becomes a vehicle for infusing spirit, rather than simply a mechanism that succeeds on its own. More than anything else, spirit enables people and organizations to produce results in ways consistence with our most deeply held values. 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ORGANIZATION CAPABLE OF INSPIRED PERFORMANCE 1. A deep sense of purpose, often expressed as a vision of what the organization stands for or strives to create. 2. Alignment of individuals around this purpose. 3. An emphasis on both personal performance and an environment that empowers the individual. , 4. Effective structures that take the systemic aspects of organizations into account. 5. The capacity to integrate reason and intuition. THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS - People operate freely and fully as part of the larger whole. - People see their organization's purpose as an extension of their personal purposes. - People identify with the organization. - People consciously assume responsibility for its success. - People naturally support each other: "We are a part of the same whole." Once people are aligned, it is easier for them to make and keep the. agreements necessary to achieve their purpose. PEOPLE CAPABLE OF INSPIRED PERFORMANCE . . . - Recognize that in some deep way they ~ the organization. - Know they are responsible for the quality of the organization. - Believe they can collectively create what they want and shape their destiny. - Possess a deep, often noble, sense of purpose. - Have a clear sense of personal and organizational purpose which provides a deeper reason for existence and action.

They may be a part of the organization or they may affect the organization from the ouside. These groups and individuals are calledstakeholders--because they have a stake in how the organization operates and in what direction it is heading. They can be very active and have direct, influence on the way an organization operates (e.g. as members of'the board, committees, or staff; or as supporters, contributors, advocates). They may have significant influence even though they are not directly involved with the day-to-day affairs of the organization (e.g. as suppliers of goods and materials; creditors and lending organiza- tions; trade and professional associations; special interest groups; government agencies). Some stakeholders influence the direction of the organization because they are competitors, members of opposition groups, or because they withhold their support so it is difficult for the organization to operate. Stakeholder mapping is a method to assess the possible impact of all stakeholders on the organization. It broadens the view of the organization because it requires participants to ,examine the total constellation of those who have a stake in the organization (those who support, oppose; or actively or passively withhold support). THE PROCESS What follows is a set of steps designed to facilitate a full and systematic consideration of stakeholders and their potential impact on the organization. Step 1: Brainstorm stakeholders--all the possibl~ stakeholders that have the potential to impact, positively or nega- tively, the organization. Step 2:. Assess the attitude you perceive each stakeholder having regarding your organization. Use the following scale: ++ Strongly favor + Favor 0 'Neutral Oppose Strongly oppose I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Step 3: Identify their power--ability to influence or impact your organization. ++ Very powerful + Powerful o Not powerful Step 4: Stakeholders increase their influence by forming coalitions. As a guide for examlnlng the possible coalitions, list (a) who influences them?; and (b) whom do they influence? I ~ u z I gJ ....:I !:&. Z H I >< Izl is en z 0 I o A H f-< ~ H I ~ ~ 0 U .. ('.

" ( Salina Downtown, Inc./Business Improvement District No.1 January 11 Retreat Survey Results -Summary- OVERVIEW The multiple choice section of the survey was divided into four sections to correspond to the Main Street Four Point Approach: Organization, Design, Economic Restructuring, Promotion. Questions were chosen to represent actual recent or ongoing programs as well as a few projects under consideration. ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES 1. The largest single response here was that it was "somewhat important" (37.9%) to have meetings with an informational program like the "Downtown Connection" held earlier this year. An additional 34.8% thought it was "important" and 4.5% saw it as "very important". 2. Highest response for the question of publishing a newsletter was split equally: 31.9% "important" and 31.9% "somewhat important". Another 14.5% marked "very important" in contrast to 18.8% "not important" and 2.9% "not useful". 3. The three questions concerning input to the Board on matters dealing with traff"ic, maintenance and policy/budget all had highest response for "important" (ranging from 38.6% to 40.0%). "Very important" followed (ranging from 255.7% to 34.3%). Matters of policy and budget were generally weighted towards the more important than traffic or malntenance. 4. How. important reducing the pigeon population is seemed to depend on one's particular experience, judging from numerous unsolicited written comments. Even though the highest response was "very important" (34.8%), the second highest was "somewhat important" (27.5%). This is not to overlook those 20.3% who felt controlling pigeons is "important" but the spread here does seem to indicate significant groups with differing opinions. Those who saw the issue as "not important" (10.1%) and "not useful" (7.3%) are also a larger group than found on all but a few other questions. DESIGN ISSUES 1. The first two questions were very similar both in meaning and response. While respondents saw appearance of the area to workers and the public "very important" (46.5%), a smaller group saw the correlation of appearance to property value "very important" (36.8%). One might note the property value-appearance link was judged by 4.4% to be "not useful" while only 1.1% responded appearance was "not useful" to workers and the general public. 2. One issue of great interest for 1989 is the recommendation of a special sign ordinance for the Business Improvement District. Responses here were highest for "somewhat important" (32.8%) and continued towards the more negative "not important" (22.4%) and "not useful" (14.9%). The positive view: "important" (19.1%) aftd - page 1 - . , Salina Downtown, Inc./Business Improvement District No.1 January 11 Retreat Survey Results -Summary- "very important" (10.5%). 3. Although the low-interest loan program for facade renovation has not been particularly well used the last two years, 34.3% consider it "important", 31.4% "somewhat important" and 22.8% "very important". 4. The importance of design or technical assistance did not seem to be great, yet perhaps the responses indicate more than indifference. One-third (33.3%) said it was "somewhat important" while 30.4% marked "important" and 15.9% "very important". Response for "not important" (13.1%) is higher than average for most questions, but "not useful" is even more noticeable at 7.3%. Two possible questions may be considered among others: "Do respondents understand what is meant by 'design/technical assistance'?" and "Is this an expression of the American independent spirit?" ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING ISSUES 1. Both questions on recruiting had the largest response for "very important". However, recruiting from outside Salina was more strongly favored (71.8%) than from Salina itself (56.3%). Likewise, while recruiting from outslde Salina was "important" to 27.6%, 25.4% felt recruiting from within Salina was "important". The categories of descending importance follow suit, with two significant totals: 4.2% consider recruiting from Salina "not important" and another 2.8% consider it "not useful" This does seem to be supported by public comments that recruiting new business for Downtown from the city at large is not helpful. 2. Even more unity was expressed on the idea of a program to retain businesses already in the district. Only 4.2% "somewhat important", 18.0% "important" and a decisive 77.8% "very important", the second highest response on the survey. 3. While the availability of venture capital to attract major businesses was strongly supported at 38.0% "very important", 26.2% "important", and 22.5% "somewhat important", there was a fairly significant negative factor. 8.5% said it was "not important" and 2.6% "not useful". Written notes indicated some objected to helping only selected businesses or to the capital being available for retail projects. 4. The importance of projecting a positive image of Downtown to the community and the area drew the single highest response of the survey. 80.0% found this to be "very important" followed by 14.1% "important", 4.2% ".somewhat important" and 1.4% "not important". Exactly why this question scored so much higher than the design question about physical appearance of buildings to the public is probably best left to the behavioral sociologists. - page 2 - . , Salina Downtown, Inc./Business Improvement District No.1 January 11 Retreat Survey Results -Summary- PROMOTIONAL ISSUES While this area accounts for much staff time and it is clear there is a strong group very interested in its programs, a significant 10.6% of survey respondents omitted this section. 1. The idea of coordinating retail promotions among district businesses was important: 35.3% "very important", 32.3% "important", 30.9% "somewhat important".. One person (1.5%) found it "not useful". 2. Although 4 to 5 promotions a year was "very important" to 41.9%, the three categories for more promotions received 35.5% of the total responses: 21.% wanted 6 to 7 promotions a year, 4.8% wanted 8 to 9, and 9.7% wanted 10 or more promotions a year. 3. This "larger picture" question revealed clear-cut opinions when it comes to cooperating in city-wide retail promotion: 46.3% "important", 32.8% "very important", 20.9% "somewhat important". "Not important" and "not useful" did not score. 4. While it seems important to participate in city-wide promotions, the number of promotions is another matter: 2/year at 35.6% received the highest score. 3/year (27.1%), 4/year (18.6%), and 1/year (10.2%) followed. 8.5% wanted 5/year. 5. Promotions that did the most for Downtown this year: Great American Race 54 Christmas Lighting 35 Ethnic Festival 14 Sidewalk Sale 49 Santaland 28 Back to School 13 Crazy Days Promo 47 Halloween Act i v . 17 Mother's Day 3 Farmers Market 44 Holiday Parade 17 D.T. Rodeo Party 2 6. This question about the gift certificate program revealed great diversity' of opinion. The largest response was 28.6% "somewhat important" followed by 25.8% "important" and 17.1% "very important". The negative side is expressed with 11.4% "not important" and the highest "not useful" response for the entire survey of 17.1%. Clearly, there is a significant part of the group that feels this program does not necessarily serve its needs, and perhaps is counter-productive. 7. Doubt has been expressed from time to time as to the value of supporting arts related programs, and the possibility of gaining in retail sales from this support. While ranking the importance of linking the arts to commercial promotion may not answer the question, there seems to be a vote of support for a continuing relationship: Linking Arts Plaza Activities very important important somewhat important not important not useful 16.7% 40.0% 28.8% 10.6% 3.0% 27.7% 40.9% 26.1% 3.1% 3.1% - page 3 - . .

Corresponds fairly composition as a whole: 1/3 retail & service, 1/3 other. 12.9% service well to District professional, 1/3 2. Age: Largest concentration was mid-range: 34.8% 44-55 years. 36.2% were younger than this group, 29% were older. 3. Gender: 42.5% did not answer this question. 15.0% who did were Female, 42.5% who did were Male. 4. Position: Surveys were sent to heads of businesses. Those who answered were: 60.6% owners, 23.9% upper management, 5.6% lower management, 4.3% supervisors, 2.8% employees, 2.8% volunteers. NOTES 325 to 350 surveys were mailed on Friday, December 23, 1988. Of these, none were returned because they were mailed bulk rate, thus the number that actually reached addressees is unknown. 73 surveys were returned, for a response rate of between 20 and 24%. Those participating in the planning retreat were tabulated and showed significant differences in response: 1. Higher return rate of 40%. 2. Organizational issues in general tended to be far more important, particularly meetings, newsletter, & budget. 3. Pigeon control scored far higher in "important" & "somewhat". 4. Most design issues were more important, with a generally more positive attitude about the sign ordinance. 5. They placed less importance on,recruiting in Salina as well as the venture capital program, but more on recruiting outside Salina, business retention and image. 6. Promotions seemed to receive more conservative support except for stronger votes on city-wide promotion. 7. Their numbers represent an age range balanced on and around the 44-53 group. fewer responded to the gender question, and more were owners or upper management. The short answer section of the survey is difficult to summarize for general purposes, but contains much of interest to those concerned with specific areas.
