How do you move an idea from concept to clear vision?

<p>Being in the communications space, Philip Tate was keen to start this conversation and he brought some real-world experience. In the PR world they have the RPIE model. It stands for - Research, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation and can be used to take something from ethereal to strategic.</p> <p> </p> <p>Tim Hawkes went next. A self-proclaimed “people guy” he talked about the banking community’s view, all agile with timescales, budgets, objectives and delivery. But they regularly produce unexciting and unengaging rubbish.</p> <p> </p> <p>Instead, he suggested we need to include the people side and create passion for the output.</p> <p> </p> <p>Then Steve Ramona jumped in with the idea of masterminds, having a group of people to talk to who will help you move an idea through the process and get rid of the noise. Is the idea even going to work? It might not get to clear vision but you still need to make a decision and take action.</p> <p> </p> <p>Of course then I had a follow up question about what does it mean to have a clear vision and how clear does something have to be to move it forward.</p> <p> </p> <p>The ten minutes just zipped by. We could have given the topic a lot more time.</p> <p> </p> <p>How do you move something from idea to clear and how do you know when something is clear enough to move forward?</p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with the panelists: Tim Hawkes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timhawkes/</p> <p>Managing Director of Unlimited Potential.
