Closing the circle
A “mission statement” is different from a vision in that the former is the action and the latter is the effect of that action; a mission statement is something to be accomplished whereas a vision is something to be pursued for that accomplishment. Also called company mission, corporate mission, or corporate purpose.
A “mission statement” stems from the mission and precedes the realisation of the vision.
