The SVS consists of three primary phases—Inputs, Process and Outputs; and two secondary phases—Evaluation and Implementation. The SVS Software facilitates the primary phase of the Strategic Visioning Model.
The Input phase of the system consists of the traditional environmental scanning process. Specifically, environmental variables such as trends, driving forces, countervailing forces and paradigms are researched and introduced to the analysis.
The Process phase using Bisociation Brainstorming is the core of SVS that makes it unique and effective. It consists of a proprietary system for facilitating creativity based on the theory of bisociation. This robust interactive approach stimulates simultaneously multi-dimensional thinking activities that can be systematized, institutionalized, and replicated. The Process phase incorporates a higher-order of brainstorming activity by analyzing the interactive effects of environmental factors to identify opportunities for, and threats to the organization or community.
