People are often confused about what constitute a vision and a mission. A vision articulates the big picture ideal state that the organization or individual is going after, while a mission defines the activities that the organization engages in for specific audiences and how these audiences benefit from that work. Knowing your vision and mission provides focus on what activities to pursue so that you know how to commit your time and resources. In addition, you signal to your audiences what you do and how they will benefit. Vision and mission statements serve as a source of inspiration to an individual, the members of the organization or collaborative group. In addition, they provide clarity and help you stay on track as you deliver on your mission. VISION AND MISSION Why are vision and mission statements important? Pinpointing a vision statement and a mission statement requires not only a deep connection to your work, but also creativity. You may find a profound sense of purpose in your new venture, but if you lack the ability to articulate your goals or the ability to put your passion into practice, your business will likely have a difficult time getting off the ground.
