Our Background
Our MISSION
Our MISSION defines our purpose, why we exist.
We CREATE services that increase our stakeholder’s profits, their business value and personal wealth. We do this through a single, CORE relationship – NOW.
- Create – we develop services, continuous process, we leave something behind, we are accountable for what we make
- diverse – many, various, unlimited
- solutions – plural, services, answers, actions, products
- stakeholders – everybody affected by our business operations (suppliers, clients, staff, SARS, the community, etc.)
- a single – one
- CORE – reiterate the brand name, central, nucleus, pivot point
- relationship – an emotional link between two or more parties
A mission statement provides the details of what is done and answers the question, “How do we do what we do?”. Your mission statement should also be specific enough that people understand what you do and how it may differ from your competitors.
