Mission Statement

Today I want to highlight the importance of having a mission statement. Mission statement drives your business organization and determines its outlook.

Every business owner must define what s/he is set out to achieve and how s/he intends to achieve it.

In the process of defining your mission statement, you will begin to picture in your mind all the processes and systems that have to come into play in achieving it.

“If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you are doing” W. Edward Deming
You need a written mission statement for your business. This is the substratum upon which other documents are based. All the processes and systems that run your organization should not reside in your brain computer only. You’ve got to download it into manuals, policies and checklists. Otherwise staff will continue to disturb your life trying to retrieve information stored in your brain computer.
