    • What Is a Vision Statement?

       

      A Vision Statement:

    • optimal desired future state
    • what an organization wants to achieve over time
    • Provides guidance and inspiration
    • what an organization is focused
    • Functions as the "north star"
    • written succinctly in an inspirational manner
    • What is a Mission Statement?

       

      A Mission statement:

        • Defines the present state or purpose of an organization
        •  
        • Answers three questions about why an organization exists
        •  

        WHAT it does
        WHO it does it for
        HOW it does what it does

      • Is written succinctly in the form of a sentence or two, but for a shorter timeframe (one to three years) than a Vision statement
      •  
      • Is something that all employees should be able to articulate upon request.
    • If an organization cannot define it's "reason for existing (Mission) or "where it is going" (Vision), how can it align people, processes, products or services towards a successful future?
