Mission

"A group of people truly committed to a common mission is an awesome force; they can accomplish the seemingly impossible."

The Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge

The questions

Business Planning - Mission Statement - Staff working as teamHow do I get that extra edge out of each employee for the truly competitive advantage?

How can I bring all my company team to a common path?

How can decision-making be safely delegated to staff or to branches without endangering our corporate philosophy and objectives?

How can I motivate employees to work in synch and help each other?

Answer: a definitive corporate Mission is the necessary unifying link.

Laying the foundations for a successful business starts with developing a Mission that everyone can connect with.

A Mission is the seed of an organization, an overarching agenda along which a common path can be pursued, one that commands allegiance, and sorts out differences of opinions about directions. MIGRATION coaches you and your team to successfully MIGRATE to a fully developed Mission through the self-help of these web pages.

Why it sometimes goes wrong

A major blunder of some companies is to have a small group of people at the top write the Mission statement in isolation. Such a Mission usually has little connection to anyone else in the company. Involving all the staff in crafting the Mission helps you create a Mission that not only works but has buy-in across the board.
