Understanding Mission, Vision, and Strategy

Course Description

All organizations begin and exist for the purpose of pursuing and achieving a goal or set of goals. They go through a life cycle, beginning with start-up and ending with dissolution or disbanding. Once the initial goals are met, organizations need to renew their purpose or mission. If not, they will likely cease to exist.

Leaders need to understand the strategic and operational framework of organizations in order to help their particular organization grow and remain relevant to its stakeholders. This course provides participants with knowledge and skills needed to understand and support the organization’s mission, vision, and strategy.
