    Mission Statements

    What Is a Vision Statement?

     A vision statement is a document that


    states the current and future objectives of
    an organization. The vision statement is
    intended as a guide to help the
    organization make decisions that align
    with its philosophy and declared set of
    goals. It can be thought of as a roadmap
    to where the company wants to be
    within a certain timeframe.
    What Is the Purpose of a Vision
    Statement?
     A vision statement isn’t a pie-in-the-sky
    document that collects the shared fantasies
    of the organization and then is filed away.
    Similar to a mission statement, it’s a living
    document that is referred to as a lodestar to
    lead a company to its next innovation
    Best Practices for Writing a Vision
    Statement
     Be Concise: This is not the place to stuff a
    document with fluff statements. It should
    be simple, easy to read and cut to the
    essentials, so that it can be set to memory
    and be repeated accurately.
     Be Clear: A good rule of thumb for clarity is
    to focus on one primary goal, rather than
    trying to fill the document with a scattering
    of ideas. One clear objective is also easier to
    focus on and achieve.
    Cont
     Have a Time Horizon: A time horizon is
    simply a fixed point in the future when you
    will achieve and evaluate your vision
    statement. Define that time.
     Make it Future-Oriented: Again, the
    vision statement is not what the company is
    presently engaged in but rather a future
    objective where the company plans to be.
    Cont..
     Be Inspiring: Live up to the title of the
    document, and create something that will
    rally the troops and be desirable as a goal
    for all those involved in the organization.
    Examples of Great Vision
    Statements
     Nike - “Bring inspiration and innovation to every
    athlete* in the world
     McDonald’s - “To be the best quick service
    restaurant experience
    What is a Mission Statement?
     A mission statement is a declaration of what a
    business / organization aspires to be.
     The statement is:
     the business’/organization reason for being,
     a proclamation of why it exists,
     a clarification of who it serves, and an expression
    of what it hopes to achieve in the future.
    What does a Mission Statement Do?

     A carefully crafted mission statement accurately


    describes the business and inspires the people
    who contribute to its success.
    Mission Statement Characteristics
     Visionary:
     Above all else a mission statement offers a vision of
    what a business aspires to be.
     A visionary mission statement helps people
    understand what the business is about and how
    they can contribute to the achievement of the
    vision.
     Mission statements frequently contain wording
    such as "to be the best", "the highest quality", and
    "in the world".
    Mission Statement Characteristics
     Broad
     A company cannot be all things to all people, but a
    mission statement should not limit a company's
    area of service or expertise too narrowly.
     Especially in today’s fast-paced business world,
    customer needs, and customers, can change
    rapidly.
     A mission statement should be broad enough to
    allow the company to meet those needs without
    annual revisions of the statement.
    Mission Statement Characteristics
     Realistic
     The broad vision needs to be tempered with
    realism, to be both practical and workable.
     Mission statements that include everything or over
    promise will not give a clear indication of what the
    business is about.
     A lofty, unrealistic mission statement will not have
    great credibility.
     Instead the best statements are direct and powerful.
    Mission Statement Characteristics
     Motivational
     The statement should be written in such a way
    that it inspires commitment among employees,
    customers, partners, and funding agencies about
    what this company will do or produce.
     Some organizations emphasize the inspirational
    value of their mission statement above all else,
    using it to express the company's philosophy and
    values.
    Mission Statement Characteristics
     Short and concise
     The mission statement should be no longer than 25
    words.
     Some consultants recommend that the mission
    statement be short enough that an employee can
    easily remember it and readily repeat it.
     Similarly, management guru Peter Drucker
    suggests it should be able to fit on a t-shirt.
    Mission Statement Characteristics
     Easily understood
     The statement should use plain language that is
    convincing and easy to understand.
     For example, a technology company's mission
    statement should not include jargon or technology
    concepts that are unfamiliar to people outside the
    area.
     Consider using the "grandmother test" on your
    mission statement -- would your grandmother
    understand what your company is about if she read
    your mission statement?
    Mission Statement Examples

     The mission of Chicago Children's Museum is to


    activate the intellectual and creative potential of
    children by being a catalyst for the process of
    learning.
    Mission Statement Examples

     "McDonald's vision is to be the world's best quick


    service restaurant experience. Being the best
    means providing outstanding quality, service,
    cleanliness, and value, so that we make every
    customer in every restaurant smile."
    Mission Statement Examples

     "Our mission is to be the consumer's first choice


    for food, delivering products of outstanding
    quality and great service at a competitive cost
    through working faster, simpler, and together.“
    J. Sainsbury
    Mission Statement Examples

     "Our mission is to inform, inspire, and empower


    people and organizations to be their best -- both
    personally and professionally.”
    Success Networks
    Mission Statement Examples

     "We will market the most appealing and widely


    worn casual clothing in the world. We will clothe
    the world."
    Levi-Strauss
    Core Values
     Values are enduring, passionate, and
    distinctive core beliefs. They’re guiding
    principles that never change. Values are
    deeply held convictions, priorities, and
    underlying assumptions that influence your
    attitudes and behaviors.
    Examples of Core values
     Alignment and accountability: We accept
    responsibility for our actions. We make and
    support business decisions through experience
    and good judgment.
     Customer Service Excellence: We are dedicated to
    satisfying customer needs and honoring
    commitments that we have made to them.
     Teamwork: Our team is supportive of each other’s
    efforts, loyal to one another, and care for each
    other both personally and professionally.
    Cont..
     Community and environment: We strive to
    help and improve the communities where
    we work and live. We are concerned about
    the environment and promote the use of
    recyclable products and renewable energy.
     Integrity: We act with honesty and
    integrity, not compromising the truth
