Develop a great mission statement

Workshop Summary

An engaging environment for you and a group of key stakeholders to explore, develop and write a clear and effective mission statement for your organisation.

Within this workshop environment, I will provide a clear framework for writing a mission statement and facilitate discussion within your team. By using creative and analytical techniques, I can ensure your mission statement is fully thought through, clearly understood and easily communicated.

Why is a mission statement so important?

• Mission statements encompass, define and communicate the core purpose of your business.
• A mission statement is not an objective, a goal, or even a vision. Rather, a mission statement is the foundation of your business – the reason why the business exists.
• A well written mission statement can help to create understanding, focus and alignment within your business, as well as aiding the development of strategy and enabling effective decision making.
• Mission statements can also be extremely powerful at a division or department level, helping to ensure constancy of purpose and focus within your organisation as a whole.
