 WHY VISION AND MISSION
STATEMENTS?
• These statements can help organization focus on what is
really important.
• Vision and mission statements help members remember
what is important in doing daily work.
• When vision and mission statements are easily visible,
people can learn about organization without having to
work hard for the information.
• Vision and mission statements are very helpful in having
members who are focused and bound together in common
purpose.

The process of developing them allows people to see the

organization as "theirs."
 vision and mission- need
• Creating organization's vision and mission
statements are the first two steps in the planning
process.
• These statements explain the organisation’s
aspirations in a concise manner, help in focus on
what is really important,
• The vision statement should inspire people to
dream;
• The mission statement should inspire them to
action.
 WHAT IS A VISION STATEMENT?

• Vision is a dream.
• It's what an organization believes are the ideal
conditions for the ‘community’;
• Vision statements are short phrases or sentences
that convey ‘community's’ hopes for the future.
• By developing a vision statement or statements,
an organization clarifies the beliefs and governing
principles of the organization, both internal and
external.
 Vision Statement
Having clear and compelling vision statements
can:
• Draw people to common work
• Give hope for a better future
• Inspire community members to realize their
dreams through positive, effective action
• Provide a basis for developing the other aspects
of action planning process: mission, objectives,
strategies, and action plans
 vision statements - common
characteristics
In general, vision statements should be:
• Understood and shared by members of the
community
• Broad enough to include a diverse variety of
local perspectives
• Inspiring and uplifting to everyone involved in
the effort
• Easy to communicate
 WHAT IS A MISSION STATEMENT?
• A mission statement describes what the group is
going to do and why it's going to do that.
• Mission statements look at the big picture.
• They are more concrete,
• They are definitely "action-oriented".
• The mission statement might refer to a problem,
such as employability, or a goal, such as providing
safe environment.
• They hint at how the organization/group might
fix these problems or reach these goals.
 Mission Statement
Having a clear mission statement can:
• Convert the broad dreams of vision into more
specific, action-oriented terms
• Explain goals to interested parties in a clear
and concise manner
• Enhance organization's image as being
competent and professional
 guiding principles about mission
statement
They are:
• Concise. While not as short as vision statements, mission
statements generally still get their point across in one sentence.
• Outcome-oriented. Mission statements explain the fundamental
outcomes your organization is working to achieve.
• Inclusive. While mission statements do make statements about
your group's key goals, it's very important that they do so very
broadly.

(Good mission statements are not limiting in the strategies or sectors

of the community that may become involved in the project).
