Purpose, Vision,
Mission
Hot in the 80’s and 90’s and a foundation for business
plans, mission, vision, and purpose statements can come off as a bit cliché,
but in my book still relevant and useful today.
I was recently talking to my friend Kevin Klein (he just
acts like a movie star) that works at Amazon about the potential origins of
these statements and hypothesizing that big businesses were likely at the
epicenter. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you
decide. Without question, I see value in
doing this type of identity soul searching. Amazon has a set of core values that
haven’t changed since their inception including (in no particular order):
customer obsession; innovation; bias for action; high hiring bar; ownership;
and frugality. Absolutely relevant when you consider their model today and the
successes they’ve achieved.
Going down this road for Brimmer & Heeltap has been a
little challenging. I want to avoid
pithy fillers and capture our core beliefs and values in a manner that gives
us, our team, and community an authentic reality check.
My purpose statement serves as a reminder of why I am doing
this. The vision statement is something
we’ll share internally as a team, in an attempt to capture our aspirations and
where we see ourselves down the line.
Lastly our mission statement is what we believe to be true about our DNA
and want to share with the community.
Drum roll please...
