Make Your Company Vision a KISS (As in “Keep it Simple, Sweetie”)

Make Your Company Vision a KISS (As in “Keep it Simple, Sweetie”) | Vision Album | Scoop.it

I always advise clients that the “Vision” of a company needs to be a short, simple, and repeatable slogan that doesn’t put boundaries around the company.


I’ve read a huge number of “mission statements” that were two or three paragraphs long, detailing how the company was going to do, what it was doing or make what it was making. But I never could remember even a bit of it five minutes later.

James Schreier's insight:

This actually contains some good points -- enough that I'll put the book on the  list to be read -- but it's starts out with the classic confusion over what vision really is.  In the first two paragraphs, it states that vision should be a slogan - NOT!  Then it refers to "mission statements" which are not visions (although I'll admit many organizations confuse this).
