[Mission Statement Development]
Before crafting your mission statement, use the four questions listed on the slide to build your mission statement using the template on the next slide.
Keep the following in mind as you think through these questions:
- Y = Your desired outcome (the target result).
- X = What needs to change to achieve that outcome (controllable change elements/inputs).
- Success in crafting team missions comes from connecting inputs to outputs.
- Focus on issues, problems, or opportunities your team can control or at least influence.
[Pro Tips]
- The formula Y = f(x) reminds us that outcomes (Y) depend on improving specific processes (x) that your team can influence.
- Keep outcome metrics simple and measurable.
- Test your X/Y thinking with stakeholders.
