As organizations fund and initiate project after project, teams often work off of sketchy project charters, unsure of the focus or expected outcome of each effort.

Often times, teams feel that the list of prioritized projects is a result of random selection and are left wondering how the project fit into the overall corporate direction, if at all. What’s lacking are the tools and techniques for achieving alignment on the core purpose for why an organization exists and a clear picture of what the future is expected to hold.

Many organizations create Mission and Vision statements, but find these statements are either too vague or too long to provide meaning and direction to anyone outside a small subset of stakeholders.

Often these statements are treated as interchangeable documents, but each have very distinct purposes and values they provide for the Strategic Plan.

Attend this segment of the 5 part series on The Living Strategic Plan to learn how to document an organizational assessment to achieve critical alignment on the core drivers that serve as the foundation for and influence the creation of a realistic Strategic Plan.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants will:

• Understand the difference between a Mission and Vision Statement
• Create a Mission statement that everyone in the organization can understand
• Create a Vision statement that influences the future actions of the organization’s staff

What Makes A Great Project Leader?
