Last week I was on an assignment where I attended a brainstorming session to come up with the mission and vision statement for a small emerging organization. We spent a long time explaining the importance of the statements and the difference amongst them. During the process, we analyzed and looked at the mission and vision statements from various organizations. Some of the common themes that we analyzed helped us understand that the mission statement is the internal view of the organization’s philosophy and the vision is the goal that helps other’s estimate the worth of the organization. Also did our analysis showed a few common elements, that are best described in the two columns – Mission Statement Elements Vision Statement Elements Integrity Profitability People System (self-sustained) Service Market share Measure Purpose Philosophy Goal People, Integrity, Service and welfare are the always portrayed in the mission of any organization.
