WHAT IS A MISSION STATEMENT  
The mission statement should be a concise statement of business strategy and developed from the customer's perspective and it should fit with the vision for the business. The mission should answer three questions:

  1. What do we do?
  2. How do we do it?
  3. For whom do we do it?
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; and
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; and,
  • 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?


As Jack Welch, Chairman, General Electric said, "Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion."
WHAT IS A VISION STATEMENT

Vision statements and mission statements are very different. A vision statement spells out goals at a high level and should coincide with the founder's goals for the entity. Simply put, the vision should state what the founder ultimately envisions the entity to be, in terms of growth, values, employees, contributions to society, and the like; therefore, self-reflection by the founder is a vital activity if a meaningful vision is to be developed. As a founder, once you have defined your vision, you can begin to develop strategies for moving the organization toward that vision. Part of this includes the development of a company mission.

A Vision Statement:

  • Defines the optimal desired future state - the mental picture - of what an organization wants to achieve over time;
  • Provides guidance and inspiration as to what an organization is focused on achieving in five, ten, or more years;
  • Functions as the "north star" - it is what all employees understand their work every day ultimately contributes towards accomplishing over the long term; and,
  • Is written succinctly in an inspirational manner that makes it easy for all employees to repeat it at any given time.
