Yes, I know my company's mission statement. It's been changed and tweaked a few times over the years.

Hah! I know where you work!

 

[OhhBother]

Yep. I wrote it. I'm the VP of marketing, so I wrote our mission, vision and purpose statements. I know them all by heart.

 

[Bellabully]

Yes, and I don’t know it. The worst is when my Chief Medical Director will randomly select someone in a staff meeting and ask them about it

My Misson Statement being a full time grammy:

Cute as they are, grandkids are a lot of work.

 

[amcnj]

To explore strange new worlds.
To seek out new life and new civilizations.
To boldly go where no man has gone before.

 

[ZephyrHawk]

Yes. They're quite serious about it.

To explore strange new worlds.
To seek out new life and new civilizations.
To boldly go where no man has gone before.

Are you hiring?

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Yes it does.... No I do not really know it. I might be able to paraphrase part of it. Something about exceeding expectations and a mutually profitable relationship.

I used to be a big advocate of mission and vision deployment throughout the enterprise. Over a few decades I have become a lot more cynical. Many enterprises were insincere about what they expressed in public statements of that sort. Eventually, sincerity returned by way of changes to the mission and vision statements that often made clear that all along it was all always just about the shareholders. Then, as the business cycle went back around again, many enterprises removed that sincerity and turned back to insincere marketing statements.

Take a look at the Walt Disney Company mission statement from 2013:

“The Walt Disney Company's objective is to be one of the world's leading producers and providers of entertainment and information, using its portfolio of brands to differentiate its content, services and consumer products. The company's primary financial goals are to maximize earnings and cash flow, and to allocate capital toward growth initiatives that will drive long-term shareholder value.”

Don't think that the mission has changed - only the mission statement has changed.

 

[Scifidiner]

Unfortunately yes. I don't know what it is other than some corporate psycho babble. and annoying.

 

[nene0182]

I figured we did since we are a Fortune 100 company but I just had to look it up.

 

[SC Minnie]

Yes, our department has one too. Can recite either but I know we have them.

 

[shh]

Sure does - in fact, I can proudly recite them from every company I've worked for:

"Blah...blah...blah...blah..blah, achieved through yadda, yadda yadda, with the ultimate goal of <insert favorite overused business jargon here>.

 

[aprilchem]

Yes. We just changed it last year from one paragraph to 1 sentence, which is nice. I do have the sentence memorized.
