Creating Mission Statements and Beyond

Description

Most non-profits have Vision, Mission and Values Statements. Very few have a business philosophy statement and yet, more than in any other business, a business philosophy statement is critical because of the huge turn-over of people at every level on a continuous basis.

In my workshops to boards of directors, I have discovered that most often the Vision, Mission and Values Statements don't align and, frequently, don't reflect the work of the organization as it exists today.

In this course, you'll:

• the point of spending the time to develop memorable Vision, Mission, Values and Business Philosophy Statements
• be taken through a process, adaptable to your group, in developing these statements
• follow through a series of steps which build upon one another
• be given some supporting videos and other materials to help your thinking process
• come to understand that these statements affect every single part of your organization and provide the stability necessary to sustain the upheavals of turn-overs of people in various work within the organization
• see the value of taking the time to work on these statements on a regular basis and why they should be front and center of all activities and decision-making activities

What You Will Learn!

• Create memorable vision, mission, values and business philosophy statements for your non-profit
• Design a Vision that fits your current realities
