Mission statement

The subsequent step in the strategic process is formulating our mission statement.

A mission statement encapsulates the essence of your objectives and the rationale for your existence. It offers a sense of strategic direction and opportunities, benchmarked against a specific performance standard. As a result, a mission statement serves as a foundation, empowering an organization to realize its visionary goals and ensuring enduring organizational success.

It's imperative for management to ensure that all employees and stakeholders remain cognizant of this organizational purpose. A well-constructed mission statement acts as a motivational beacon, providing clear criteria for decision-making. Consequently, your mission statement, to be unambiguous, should respond to four pivotal questions as outlined by Ahaus and Diepman (1998):

  1. What is the primary rationale behind the organization's existence?
  2. Which fundamental needs do your products and/or services address?
  3. What void would emerge in the absence of the organization?
  4. What defines the organization's very essence or purpose of existence?

Bearing the above in mind, a mission statement should encompass core value attributes, addressing direct stakeholders such as customers, employees, suppliers, and shareholders.

Example mission statement

At NewCo Audio, our commitment is to deliver flexible and sustainable audio solutions and services to our Dutch B2B clientele at the most competitive total cost of ownership (TCO).

We pride ourselves on our leadership and expertise in audio, along with pragmatic solutions grounded in our foundational principles: innovation, excellence, integrity, and passion. These intrinsic values manifest in every NewCo Audio process, community, and employee. We continually inspire our passionate team to exceed our clients' expectations.

Our mission statement embodies five pivotal tenets:

  1. To surpass the audio expectations of our clientele.
  2. To foster a stimulating and positive work environment for our team.
  3. To maintain a streamlined and proficient distribution channel for our esteemed audio suppliers.
  4. To stand as a reliable partner for both our customers and suppliers.
  5. To ensure a substantial return on investment for the NewCo group and its shareholders.

Let's assess this mission statement using the "Ahaus & Diepman" mission checklist:
