Lesson 5: Vision, Mission, Goal, Objective, and Target Setting

Your Essential Learning Outcome

After the learning process, you will determine the important concepts of the vision,
mission, goal, objectives and target setting in relation to present needs, problems and resource
potentials and constraints.

Your Learning Springboard

Vision, Mission, Core Values, Goal, and Objective

This phase of planning basically answers the questions:
● What do we want to achieve?
● Where do we want to go?

VISION
● According to (Kaufman et al., 2002), vision is the act of power of seeing an ideal
state through mental foresight that a man or institution intends to accomplish.
● It spells out in broad terms the role of the institution in society, region or province,
and institution or university.
● Presents a mental picture of what the organization should look like in the future
and how the organization will look, feel, and interact with its stakeholders
MISSION
● The most critical piece of the planning exercise, since all the activities of the
organization must be in support of the mission
● It must answer the questions:
○ Why does the organization exist?
○ What will the organization ultimately accomplish?
● According to Peter Drucker, mission statement must be described in the following
way:
○ Vision - describes what the organization needs to accomplish, what
services it will provide, and what significant contributions it expects to
make
○ Measurement - identifies ways in which the organization’s progress can
be measured
○ Theme - describes how the organization intends to achieve its goals.

VALUES AND BELIEFS

● It enunciates the organization’s core values
● These are beliefs that the organization’s members hold in common endeavor to
put into practice
● These guide the organization’s members in performing their tasks
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
● they put the strategic plan into an action-based document
● Specific goals flow from the vision, mission, and SWOT analysis, and lay out
what needs to be accomplished in a one-year to three-year period

Your Learning Process

After reading the lesson on the springboard, answer the question:
How would you describe the alignment of the Vision, Mission, Values and Beliefs up to
Goals and Objectives?

Answer:

The Department of Education regards a clearly defined and aligned statement of their
mission, vision, goals and objectives and set of core values to support them. These statements
of mission, vision, goals and objectives are well positioned for long-term success in a rapidly
changing Educational context. Dep Ed, as a purpose- and mission-driven organizations is clear
about why they want to achieve and how they plan to achieve their objectives. Furthermore, it is
as well stated that Dep Ed aims to be well-equipped to meet expectations of the ever-changing
Educational context. 

Having these statements of mission, vision, goals, and objectives and values all aligned
are strategic considerations that serve as a road-map to stay on track and work toward
achieving their organizational goals.
