Setting BHAG far into the future requires thinking beyond current capabilities and enviroment BHAG BHAG Not a sure bet only 50-70% chance of success but the Co. must believe that it can reach it BHAG requires extraordinary effort and a little luck

Ask We are sitting here in 20 years; what would we love to see? What should the Co. look like? What should it feel to employees? What should it have achieved? If someone is writing a article in a major magazine in 20 years what will they say of the Co.? Does the vision get our juices flowing? Do we find it stimulating? Does it spur forward momentum? Does it get people going?

What is our business?


Define the basic reason of existence

An essential building block of the strategic management process


A business is not defined by its name, statutes or article of incorporation Only a clear definition of the mission and purpose help the organization to achieve clear and realistic business objectives (Drucker, 1973)

Reason for being Idealistic motivations for doing the Co.s work clear focus that directs peoples attention and energies to live out the purpose and provide them a sense of self-worth Helps in making strategic resource allocation decisions to realise their customer value proposition Captures the soul of the organisation Purpose should last for at least 100 years (vs specific goals objectives - and strategies) Can achieve objectives and strategies but you cannot fulfill mission a guiding star Mission does not change it inspires change
(C) Datuk Dr. John Xavier 24

3M: To solve unsolved problems innovatively Hewlett Packard: To make technical contributions to the advancement and welfare of the community McKinsey&Co.: To help leading corporations and governments be more successful Nike: To experience the emotion of competition, winning and crushing competitors Disney: To make people happy Starbucks: To establish Starbucks as a premier purveyor of the finest coffee in the world while maintaining our uncompromising principles as we grow (Old) New To inspire and nurture the human spirit one person, one cup, and neighbourhood at a time
(C) Datuk Dr. John Xavier 25

Purpose
To satisfy shareholders and stakeholders

Strategy
A definition of what business we are in? Position strategy Strategic competitive advantage

Behaviour
The behavioral standards required to convert purpose and strategy into action

Value
The beliefs and moral principles of the organization, culture & philosophy

The 4 elements must reinforce each other Source: The Ashridge Model, Campbell and Yeung (1991)

Core ideology guidance and inspiration; glue Values guiding principles and tenets Mission Why we exist core purpose fixed; only strategies and practices change It is more important to know who you are (core ideology) then where you are going (vision) because vision changes as the environment changes
Yin does not change complements the Yang Yang the envisioned future changes

We did not find an explicit and formal statement of purpose in all of our visionary companies
Collins and Porras (1997)

(C) Datuk Dr. John Xavier

38

Organisational culture is typically missing from the standard mission statement which is why the statement alone is ineffectual. The ultimate value of the vision as a management tool is undermined if the vision is nothing more than a statement of purpose and a strategy for getting there. Purpose and strategy do not have the power to enhance performance unless they can be converted into action, policy and job-related behavioural guidelines
Lipton, 1996

(C) Datuk Dr. John Xavier

39

Incomplete mission statement is better than no mission More important is the process of developing a mission
Genuine mission statement is a product of both deep understanding of the organisational and environmental reality and deep insight
