A Mission Statement is arguably the most critical tool an organization can have to communicate to employees, customers, shareholders, and the world at large, in a succinct sentence or two, what it is trying to create or achieve on a daily basis. It represents the organization’s core beliefs about itself and its desired impact. It is different from a vision statement, which defines and describes what the organization wishes to be in the future. The Mission Statement is intended to endure and remain relevant and unchanged as the organization evolves over time. As such, it is critical to take the time to engage and garner buy-in from the board of directors and executive leadership team when crafting the Mission Statement, as it is core to the organization’s identity and helps to shape its strategic endeavors and activities.

Strategy teams looking to inspire and engage their executive team, investors or other employees should look to the new online Mission Statement Template from Praxie as an opportunity to do just that. The Mission Statement Template gives business leaders and strategists an opportunity to draft, brainstorm or reimagine the mission statement for their own company. A Mission Statement typically involves 1-2 sentences of text and is often communicated in presentations, annual reports, and other strategic documents. A Mission Statement defines the fundamental purpose for why a company exists and may include aspects of the organization’s scope and values.
