Mission vs vision statements• A mission statement describes the broad practical
steps to close the gap between the unsatisfactory present and the desired future for the organisation
• A vision statement is what the organisation wants to become
Ideally the vision statement will: • Describes the future state at a selected time – Is quantifiable – Is described briefly, 2-4 sentences – Developed in consultation
• Answers question: Where are we going?
Vision statement
Corporate vision is a short, succinct, and inspiring statement of what the organisation intends to become and to achieve at some point in the future • Vision refers to the category of intentions that are
broad, all-inclusive and forward-thinking. • It is the image that a business must have of its
goals before it sets out to reach them. • It describes aspirations for the future, without
specifying the means that will be used to achieve those desired ends.

Mission statementsEach word in the mission statement should be carefully crafted so that it can be defined and measured. A mission statement should be: • Consistent with, and supporting, the organisation’s
vision • The road map describing how the organisation will
reach its vision • Telling people what the organisation’s purpose is • The source of strategies that collectively create a
business plan
Mission statements… should contain 3 important components 1.Key market - who is your target client/customer? 2.Contribution - what product or service do you
provide to that client? 3.Distinction - what makes your product or service
unique, so that the client would choose you? Bart (1997)
