Question

Once organizational leaders are confident that the mission (along with the vision and values) are well formulated, communicated, and expressed in writing, they are able to focus on activities that will make the most progress towards accomplishing the stated mission. Well-written mission statements are often the beginning point for strategic organizational goal setting. The process of writing a mission statement is much like that for developing value and vision statements. The same process can help you develop possibilities for a singular mission statement. Remember, though, that unlike with value and vision statements, your mission statement in a single sentence that encompasses your organizations work. Prior to finalizing a mission statement, you will want to ask the following:

Does it describe what your organization will do and why it will do it?

Is it concise (one sentence)?

Is it outcome oriented?

Is it inclusive of the goals and people who may become involved in the organization?

Imagine you are managing the health care organization you identified in your previous Supportive Submissions. Now imagine that organization has recently been acquired by another corporation and is due to undergo reorganization. One of the tasks you are responsible for, is to develop a new mission statement that accurately reflects the organizations new direction. Create a proper mission statement, and then fully explain how it differs from the previous version. Describe the process you utilized to develop the new statement, and explain why it is the perfect choice to move the organization forward. You can be as creative as you like with the organizations future direction; however, if your new Board of Directors are not happy with the Mission Statement… you will be fired.

Explanation / Answer

Mission statement

The New Mission statements are as follows.

New Medical Insight through disease specific clinical research

Internationally benchmarked quality and regulatory systems

Customer relationship through outstanding products and services

Human resource development through training and mentoring

State of the art manufacturing capabilities

The previous version of the Mission statement talks only about the medical services and also it specifies on how to improvise on the medical services continuously. However it was lacking in other important things like focus on quality, customer relationship and retaining the same employees through good training and leads to good services. So, the mission statement is inclusive of both and the mission statements focus both on quality, customer, training of the people and covers most of the important things.

Developing a mission statement to an organization is an opportunity to write the Goals, ethics and culture of an organization. The process to setup is very simple. Firstly we reviewed the previous mission statement and since a new organization was acquired we wanted to provide better service and to do that we made our minds clear by asking questions like what we do for its customers, what we do for the employees and what we do for its owners. This analysis made our mind clear and based on that analysis the mission statements were created. We have focussed on customers to retain them and there is a focus on employees to keep them happy and also some light has been thrown on its owners to bring them some profitability.
