Core Values
Attendees at our CEO Breakfast Series learned that
identifying your company culture and core values is crucial
to your company’s success!
Attendees learned--
The Importance of Alignment
Alignment is the difference between having a
vision and being a visionary company.
Fundamental Components of a Mission Statement
A mission statement is an articulated purpose
that differentiates the company and stems from market
opportunities, available resources, and management’s
aspirations and values.
- Why do we exist? (Who are we?)
- In whose interest do we operate? (Who do we
serve?)
- What are we tying to accomplish? (What do we do and
how?)
Communicating Your Company Culture and Core
Values
A company’s values - what it stands
for, what its people believe in - are crucial to its
competitive success. Indeed, values drive the
business… In a more volatile and dynamic business
environment, the controls have to be conceptual…
It’s the ideas of a business that are controlling,
not some manager with authority.
--Robert Haas
