4. Vision
• Vision is a concept, that refers to one’s mental image of
the future. Vision refers to the optimum future state of
affairs that one can imagine for an individual or for an
institution. (Wallace, Engel et al, 1997)
• A vision is an outline of a desired state to be attained
within a specific period, although it is a statement about
an ideal, it is nevertheless expected to be achievable
because it is based on sound understanding of
prevailing conditions together with realistic assessment
of the interventionist capabilities of the organization.’
(Harlech-Jones, n. d.)

5. Example of Vision statement
• Crescent Girls’ School Singapore
• The vision of the Tablet PC program at the Crescent Girls’
School in Singapore is to connect teachers and students with
a systematic and comprehensive use of technology combined
with a rigorous and relevant curriculum and a career
preparation component. Tablet PCs serve as the catalyst in
the transition from traditional learning to a student-centered,
problem solving, project-driven approach that will carry
students well into the next century. Laptops enable learning
to go beyond the school walls and provide access to
worldwide resources. download.microsoft.com/.../1-Plan_MS_1to1_vision-statement.pdf

6. Cont…
• Beaufort County School District South Carolina, United States
• In a voluntary program, students will use notebook computers
in the classroom and at home to expand their learning
opportunities beyond the traditional schoolhouse walls and
beyond the traditional school day, to help them open new
windows on the world. Believing that technology should serve
all, a non-profit community foundation will provide subsidies
to ensure that all students have equal access to computers,
so that participation is based on the desire to learn, not the
ability to pay

7. Mission
• The mission statement of an organization is normally
short, to the point, and contains the following
elements:
– Provides a concise statement of why the organization
exists, and what it is to achieve;
– States the purpose and identity of the organization;
– Defines the institution's values and philosophy; and
– Describes how the organization will serve those affected by
its work.

8. Cont….
• Unlike the vision statement, a statement focusing on
the future, the business mission statement focuses
on the current farm business. The business mission
statement outlines “who we are, what we do, and for
whom we do it.” It provides a concise summary of the
farm business’s purpose. The mission statement
deals with what the farm business is about and why.

11. How to develop mission
statement
• To create your mission statement, first identify your organization's
"winning idea".
• This is the idea or approach that will make your organization stand out
from its competitors, and is the reason that customers will come to you
and not your competitors (see tip below).
• Next identify the key measures of your success. Make sure you choose
the most important measures (and not too many of them!)
• Combine your winning idea and success measures into a tangible and
measurable goal.
• Refine the words until you have a concise and precise statement of your
mission, which expresses your ideas, measures and desired result.

12. Vision vs. Mission
• The vision is more broad and future oriented – the goal on the
horizon
• The mission is more focused – how you will get to the horizon
• A mission statement tells what business you are in and what
products and services you will offer. It is a clear statement of
purpose. A mission statement may last for decades.
• A vision transforms the organization. It provides a picture of
what could be. It is a catalyst that can impel an organization
to move toward that dream. As dreams come true or realities
change, visions change. It is a goal of the highest order.

16. . Food for thought
• If you think of vision and mission as an
organization's head and heart, the
values it holds are its soul.
