So here is the proposition…
You cannot hope to run effective projects unless you are clear about what business your
organisation is in and what its purpose is.
Whose Mission Statement?
“To give ordinary folk the chance to buy the same things as rich people”
Walmart helps people around the world save money and live better -- anytime and anywhere
-- in retail stores, online and through their mobile devices.
Why Are We Here?!
Mission! Vision!
Values! Objectives!
Strategy!
Elevator Pitch!
“So what is it that you do, Sarah…?”
• What do we do?• Who do we do it for?• What is the benefit of doing it?• Why do we do it?
“Well, Maureen, I work for Wellies on the
Ground. We organise young volunteers to look
after the gardens of older people who can’t
manage it for themselves any longer. It gives the
older people so much pleasure to see their
lovely gardens brought back to life and we
believe it also helps the different generations to
understand each other better.”
