Goals

A job description need not be limited to explaining the current situation, or work that is
currently expected; it may also set out goals for what might be achieved in future.

Organizational requirements

Basically, an organization is a person or group of people intentionally organized to


accomplish an overall, common goal or set of goals. Business organizations can range in size
from one person to tens of thousands.

Vision statements, Mission statements and values of an organization

Vision: Defines the desired or intended future state of an organization or enterprise in


terms of its fundamental objective and/or strategic direction. Vision is a long-term view,
sometimes describing how the organization would like the world to be in which it operates.

Mission: Defines the fundamental purpose of an organization or an enterprise, succinctly


describing why it exists and what it does to achieve its Vision.

It is sometimes used to set out a "picture" of the organization in the future. A mission
statement provides details of what is done and answers the question: "What do we do?"

Values: Beliefs that are shared among the stakeholders of an organization. Values drive
an organization's culture and priorities and provide a framework in which decisions are made.
For example, "Knowledge and skills are the keys to success" or "give a man bread and feed him
for a day, but teach him to farm and feed him for life". These example values may set the
priorities of self sufficiency over shelter.

Strategy: Strategy, narrowly defined, means "the art of the general" (from Greek
strategies). A combination of the ends (goals) for which the firm is striving and the means
(policies) by which it is seeking to get there.
