Vision Statement Examples
IKEA
“Our vision is to create a better everyday life for many
people.” That’s aspirational, short and to the point. More
than that, it sets the tone for the company and makes it
clear that they’re in the market to offer low-priced good
furnishings that suit everyone’s lifestyle.
Ch 2 -9
Vision Statement Examples
Nike
• “Bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world. (*If you
have a body, you are an athlete.)” Nobody cared much for sneakers in
the past. They were just another piece of sports equipment. But Nike
saw a future that had not yet existed, in which they delivered products
that inspired and motivated people. Notice how they include everyone
as an athlete. It’s clever and inclusive.
Ch 2 -10
Vision Statement Examples
McDonald’s
• “To be the best quick service restaurant experience. Being the best means
providing outstanding quality, service, cleanliness and value, so that we
make every customer in every restaurant smile.” The power of this vision is
that it’s constructed like a checklist. The word best is a word that requires
definition, and McDonald’s provides it with qualifiers, making the roadmap
to success clearly marked with signposts.
