Everyone that I know anticipate to succeed and that includes any organisation. Now there is a concept refered to as vision casting. This is the process of making this vision clearer, individual involvement and implementable. I also believe that it is appropriate to to have a process of goal casting so that the goals can be made clear, values indicated, strategy to archieving the goal well communicated and of course the challenges the goals presents. Well I think organisational goals that follow through on these points can achieve their goals.
