Create a vision statement of approximately 1,000 words for transforming your chosen site
(that is, your workplace or research site, which may be the same site you used in previous
quarters) into a learning culture. Develop the statement by synthesizing the information you
have gathered from your site, research, and peer interactions. Present your vision
narratively and graphically. The narrative component should identify the function of the site

and its commitment to a culture of learning or how it might demonstrate that commitment.
Follow the narrative with a brief statement that references accompanying graphics and
describes your vision for that site as a culture of learning. Depending on the status of your

Include a statement of at least three measures (for example, objectives, outcomes, and
metrics) that would demonstrate your vision in action. The accompanying graphics should
illustrate the major relationships or interactions that would take place between the key site
stakeholders when implementing your vision.
