The mission chart

Abstract: Abstract As we have seen, a company’s mission is a general statement that distills the essence of the contribution that defines the company’s identity. This statement is unspecific by definition and not directly applicable to any particular context. There is nothing wrong with that. What would be wrong would be to imagine that a mission, so defined, is sufficient to guide decision making throughout the organization. In fact, strictly speaking, a company’s mission has no particular meaning for the organization’s members. What does have a meaning, though, is how each person can contribute to the accomplishment of that mission. For that, we need to clarify what “contributing to the accomplishment of the mission” means for each job.
