MISSION STATEMENT

 On the other hand, a Mission statement talks about how an organisation tends to get to where it wants to be. Defines the purpose and primary objectives related to your customer needs and team values.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VISION AND MISSION STATEMENTS

VISION statement emphasizes on WHERE, for instance: it answers the question, “Where do we aim to be?” A vision statement talks about the organizational future.

Whereas, MISSION stresses WHO, for instance, the mission statement answers the question, “What do we do? What makes us different?” A mission statement talks about the present leading to its future. In other words, Mission is the activities base of vision. A mission statement talks about the present leading to its future.

Vision is the future itself, an end product of mission.
