Value Vision
Develop a clear vision of your core values. By sharing and aligning your values with others, you'll gain a collective perspective that strengthens teamwork and drives purposeful actions.
- Prepare the Deck
- Gather the Values Cards deck developed by Strategenics.
- Set Up the Categories
- Designate a clear space in front of you for placing the cards.
- Create three separate categories:
“Not important to me,” “Important to me,” and “Very important to me.”
- Start Sorting
- Shuffle the deck of value cards thoroughly.
- Begin the game by picking the first card from the top of the deck.
- Without overthinking, quickly assess the value on the card and determine its importance to you.
- Place the card face-up in one of the three categories:
- “Not important to me”: If the value holds little or no significance to you.
- “Important to me”: If the value has some importance but is not one of your top priorities.
- “Very important to me”: If the value is of utmost importance to you.
- Repeat the Sorting Process
- Continue picking cards one by one, assessing their importance, and placing them in the corresponding categories.
- Avoid spending too much time on each card to maintain the spontaneity of your choices.
- Remove the “Not Important” and “Important to me” Cards
- Remove these cards from the game as they do not align with your core values.
- Repeat the Sorting and Selection
- Gather the remaining cards (Very important) and shuffle them again.
- Start the sorting process once more, going through the deck until you end up with approximately 10 cards in the “Very important to me” category.
- Lay Out your Core Values
- Lay the 10 cards from the “Very important to me” category in a spread before you.
- Arrange them into logical groups that make sense to you
- Optional: You can spread them into logical groups for all players to see and reflect upon.
- Reflect on Your Core Values
- Take some time to study the cards in the spread before you.
- Reflect on the values represented by these cards and what they mean to you personally or as a team.
- Consider how these core values can guide your decision-making, goal-setting, and actions in various areas of life.
