An effective vision statement describes what your organisation wants to become by ‘painting a picture with words’ that others can envisage in a concise, memorable and inspirational way. This month’s vision theme is a follow on from last month’s mission topic. Vision statement examples below:
- Oxfam: “A just world without poverty.”
- Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID) – ‘Our vision is a world where deafness and hearing loss are not barriers to opportunity and fulfilment.’
Quote of the month:
‘Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.’
