MISSION STATEMENTS
A Mission Statement defines the
organization's purpose and primary
objectives.
Mission statements are the starting points of
an organization's strategic planning and goal
setting process.
They focus attention and assure that internal
and external stakeholders understand what
the organization is attempting to accomplish.

Dimensions of Mission statements:

According to Bart, the strongest organizational
impact occurs when mission statements contain 7
essential dimensions.
Key values and beliefs
Distinctive competence
Desired competitive position
Competitive strategy
Compelling goal/vision
Specific customers served and products or
services offered
Concern for satisfying multiple stakeholders

According toVern McGinis, amission

should:
Define what the company is
Define what the company aspires to be
Limited to exclude some ventures
Broad enough to allow for creative growth
Distinguish the company from all others
Serve as framework to evaluate current
activities
Stated clearly so that it is understood by all

Developing a Mission Statement

Structure of a mission statement

Purpose and values of the organization or
who are the organization's primary
"clients" (stakeholders)
What are the responsibilities of the
organization towards these "clients"
What are the main objectives supporting
the company in accomplishing its mission

A mission statement explains the company's

core purpose and values.

If the organization elects to develop a vision

statement before developing the mission
statement, ask Why does the image, the vision
exist -- what is its purpose? This purpose is often
the same as the mission.
Developing a mission statement can be quick
culture-specific, i.e., participants may use methods
like focused discussions, divergent experiences
around daydreams, sharing stories, etc.

When wording the mission statement, consider the

organization's products, services, markets, values, and
concern for public image, and maybe priorities of
activities for survival.
Consider any changes that may be needed in wording of
the mission statement because of any new suggested
strategies during a recent strategic planning process.
Ensure that wording of the mission is to the extent that
management and employees can infer some order of
priorities in how products and services are delivered.

When refining the mission, a useful exercise is to

add or delete a word from the mission to realize
the change in scope of the mission statement and
assess how concise is its wording.
Does the mission statement include sufficient
description that the statement clearly separates
the mission of the organization from other
organizations?

VISION STATEMENTS
Vision statements reflect the ideal image of the
organization in the future.
They create a focal point for strategic planning and are
time bound, with most vision statements projected for a
period of 5 to 10 years.
The vision statement communicates both the purpose
and values of the organization. For employees, it gives
direction about how they are expected to behave and
inspires them to give their best.
Shared with customers, it shapes customers
understanding of why they should work with the
organization.

Developing a Vision Statement

1. The vision statement includes vivid

description of the organization as it effectively
carries out its operations.
2. Developing a vision statement can be quick
culture-specific, i.e., participants may use
methods like focused discussions, divergent
experiences around daydreams, sharing stories,
etc.
3. Developing the vision can be the most
enjoyable part of planning, but time consuming.
