Introducing Vision Navigation® Software – Professional Growth Systems

Introducing Vision Navigation® Software

Vision Navigation® strategic planning has been the flagship product of PGS for almost 40 years. Although there have been many revisions, additions and updates, the main component of VN, the Vision Navigation® chart has remained largely unchanged. Why? 

  • The vision, purpose and main strategies to grow the organization can be easily seen on one sheet of paper
  • The specific tasks to be completed for each strategic or improvement project are laid out by quarter and, again, can be easily viewed all on one sheet of paper
  • The strategic plan and VN chart can be changed, rearranged and updated throughout the plan year.

In a nutshell, the chart is easy to use and presents the strategic work of the organization in a framework that can be viewed, shared, marked-up and revised, making it a living and valuable tool in leadership’s toolbox. 

The one issue with Vision Navigation that had been a sticking point over the years, particularly as the world became more and more digitized and working virtually became the new standard, was that the VN chart and plan were not digital.

Let us introduce you to Vision Navigation Software, PGS’ latest hallmark update to Vision Navigation.  Not only can a team see their outcomes chart online, they can view the list of tasks to be completed for a particular outcome, message another team member to ask a question or collaborate virtually, update progress and percentages complete, and set reminders for themselves. 

Our Vision Navigation Software is Vision Navigation® for the digital age, a virtual strategic plan.  Can you still have the printed chart to hang on the boardroom wall and bring to shareholder meetings?  Absolutely! You can still color in the completed outcomes with a highlighter, write notes and changes, and keep the hard copy chart current and alive, all while you are moving outcomes around and putting notes in digitally on your Vision Navigation Software. 

How does it work? 

The VN Software is a project management system that allows you and your team to access all aspects of your strategic plan in one place. As you build your plan with PGS – either during in-person planning sessions or virtually – we build your online plan. Once your plan launches you simply log in to your organization’s individual Vision Navigation online and execute your plan.

The VN Software allows for automatic progress updates, communication between individuals collaborating on the project, and instant updates as you complete project tasks. You can also use it to manage your day to day projects and short term goals.  

The VN Software gives instant access to updates and changes so it’s easier to track progress and see accomplishment in real time. One of the most popular components is the auto update feature that notifies everyone on the plan when someone makes changes or updates a task. The VN Software keeps everyone aware of progress and encourages accountability.

How has the Vision Navigation Software been received? 

We piloted the Vision Navigation Software in 2020 with both large and small organizations, and been busy with updates and additions since. Private businesses, major public institutions, non-profit organizations, and state agencies have all successfully created their strategic plan with us and are using the VN Software to track their progress, collaborate and schedule their strategic work virtually. In fact, we have many clients who are on their 3rd year with the software. Using new software always has a learning curve, but our clients have found the Vision Navigation Software to be both intuitive and easy to navigate.
