Development of a New Vision
             Need for a DEEP – SEATED VISION based on a holistic approach !!

Deep seated vision           Strategic Plan          Actions
Legacy

           Where are we now ?             What do we want to achieve ?

  If you don’t know where you are going to , you will end up somewhere
else !

               “Vision without
                            * * action
                                 * * is a dream.
        Action without vision is simply passing the time.
       Action with vision is making a positive difference !”
