Greatest Visions

Vision: Defines the desired or intended future state of an organization or enterprise in terms of its fundamental objective and/or strategic direction. Vision is a long term view, sometimes describing how the organization would like the world in which it operates to be.

Plans: schemes, programs, or methods worked out beforehand for the accomplishment of the vision.

” Vision plans outlines what the organisation wants to be or how it wants the world in which it operates to be and how it will achieve this. It concentrates on the future. It is a source of inspiration. It provides clear decision-making criteria”.

Many people mistake the vision statement for the mission statement, and sometimes one is simply used as a longer term version of the other. The Vision should describe why it is important to achieve the Mission. A Vision statement defines the purpose or broader goal for being in existence or in the business and can remain the same for decades if crafted well. A Mission statement is more specific to what the enterprise can achieve itself. Vision should describe what will be achieved in the wider sphere if the organization and others are successful in achieving their individual missions.
