Another way to look at it is that mission statements describe the company's mission as
it is now and for the near future. So if the company is undergoing major changes, it
would make sense to revise the mission statement so it is current.
A vision statement is a view into the future with hope and a positive outlook. It
describes a company's inspirational, long-term plan for what they'll be able to
accomplish, who they will help, and how the company will then be perceived. It's often
out of reach for now, but not so far out of reach as to be unattainable. The vision
statement gives everyone a description of what they're working towards.
