A Review of Shared Vision and its Application within an Army Context

Abstract

This report provides a review of relevant literature that addresses the concept of shared vision. In doing so, it explores some of the ways in which shared vision is defined and highlights the main theories associated with the concept. Considerations are also given to those factors which enable or inhibit a truly shared vision, and the benefits it can provide for organisations. This report then looks at the theory of shared vision in the context of the U.S Army, and Australian Army Doctrine: exploring and identifying challenges and opportunities, to a shared vision s successful implementation. Implications are also proposed for the execution of shared vision within the Australian Army. Finally, the limitations of this paper and the gaps in research on shared vision are addressed. This review of literature will be used to inform the discussion of the Army Learning Organisation (ALO) research results.
