Strategic Architecture - Focus
Vision (1)
IEC - Institute of Executive Capabilities der Steinbeis-Hochschule Berlin SHB
The vision statement helps to inspire
and motivate people in organizations
with future goals.
The vision stands with both feets in
the future and shows a picture how
this future of the organization will look
like.

Strategic Architecture - Focus
Vision (2)
IEC - Institute of Executive Capabilities der Steinbeis-Hochschule Berlin SHB
Focus of the Vision Statement lies on the future; its purpose is to motivate and to inspire. It defines the future of the organization as well as the future of its industrial sector and social environment which shall be influenced by it.
▪ The vision statement defines the future.
▪ It gives detail on future goals and where you wish to be in the future. It motivates to succeed.
▪ It explains why you choose to work for it.
▪ When your company develops, it may be tempting to change the vision. But keep in mind that mission and vision are the foundation of everything – so change shall be as minimal as possible.

Mission (1)

technologies) are sought to serve the
customer and the world.
The mission stands with one foot in
the present and with the other foot
in the future.

Mission (2)
IEC - Institute of Executive Capabilities der Steinbeis-Hochschule Berlin SHB
Focus of the Mission Statement lies on the present; it defines the customers, critical processes and it gives information on the level of performance which is desirable.
▪ The mission statement: deals with the present and leads to the future.
▪ Includes company objectives and serves internal purposes. Defines the key measure or measures of the organization's success and is created to inform leadership, team and stockholders.
▪ The mission statement can change over time, but it should be still connected to core values, customer needs and vision.
