What is a Vision statement?

A vision statement is a sentence or short paragraph that succinctly describes the goals of a
company, nonprofit, or some other entity. It states what you are trying to build and serves as a
touchstone for your future actions. A vision statement is sometimes thought of as a picture of
your company in the future, but it’s much more than that. When creating a vision statement,
you're articulating your hopes and dreams for your business. Your vision statement is your
inspiration, and it will serve as the framework for all your strategic planning.
A vision statement may apply to an entire company or to a single division of that
company. Whether for all or part of an organization, the vision statement answers the question,
"Where do we want to go?" Once you have one, your vision statement will have a huge influence
on your decision-making process and the way you allocate resources.
A vision statement is for you and the other members of your company, not for your
customers or clients. The purpose of the mission statement is to tell the world what you do and
how you do it. In other words, the vision statement is forward-looking, while the mission
statement addresses the here and now. The vision statement is the dream; the mission statement
is the reality. A vision statement should be concise, no longer than a sentence or two. You want
your entire organization to be able to quickly repeat it and, more importantly, understand it.

What is a Mission Statement?

A mission statement defines what line of business a company is in, and why it exists or
what purpose it serves. Every company should have a precise statement of purpose that gets
people excited about what the company does and motivates them to become part of the
organization. A mission statement should also define the company’s corporate strategy.
Corporate Strategy focuses on how to manage resources, risk and return across a firm, as
opposed to looking at competitive advantages in business strategy and is generally a couple of
sentences in length.
A mission statement is a brief description of an entity's fundamental purpose. It answers
the question, "Why does our business (or nonprofit or government agency) exist?" The mission
statement articulates the company's purpose both for those in the organization and for the public.
A mission statement is a sentence or short paragraph that defines the existence of a
business, nonprofit, government organization, or any other entity. Mission statements get at the
heart of why a company exists, rather than how it exists. In other words, a mission statement isn't
a business plan that explains how the entity will turn a profit; it's a statement that defines the
motivation for trying to turn a profit in the first place.
It's also important to avoid confusing a mission statement with a vision statement. The
difference is that a mission statement focuses on a company’s present state while a vision
statement focuses on a company’s future. A mission statement answers the question "Who are
we?" and the vision statement answers the question "Where are we going?"
What are the Core Values?
The core values of an organization are those values we hold which form the foundation
on which we perform work and conduct ourselves. We have an entire universe of values, but
some of them are so primary, so important to us that throughout the changes in society,
government, politics, and technology they are STILL the core values we will abide by. In an
ever-changing world, core values are constant. Core values are not descriptions of the work we
do or the strategies we employ to accomplish our mission. The values underlie our work, how
interact with each other, and which strategies we employ to fulfill our mission. The core values
are the basic elements of how we go about our work. They are the practices we use (or should be
using) every day in everything we do.

What are Graduate Attributes?
Graduate attributes are the high level qualities, skills and understandings that a student
should gain as a result of the learning and experiences they engage with, while at university. This
‘graduateness’ is what sets them apart from those without a degree, and is the added value which
graduates can enjoy and share with employers and the wider community. They equip students
and graduates for life long personal development, learning and to be successful in society.
Graduate attributes are important factors in planning the curriculum of any degree programme.
Integration of generic attributes in the curriculum ensures that students develop skills that will
better equip them for the work environment and self-employment.
