BEST PRACTICE
ORGANIZATION
• Organizations that set benchmarks or serve as examples
of how to do things effectively and efficiently are called
"best-practice" organizations.
• The techniques they use -- the "best practices" -- have
shown superior results and have applications
throughout an industry or organization.
• A best-practice organization is efficient at integrating its
organizational structure with a solid mission and vision
statement and integrating these into a holistic message
about the organization that serves as the company's
"brand."

INTEGRATING
COMMUNICATION
• The mission, vision, statement of values and
organization design all work together to form an
impression of the company in the eyes of its employees
and customers.
• The core elements of these organizational building
blocks should be represented in all business
communications.
• Organizations that are recognized as best-practice
organizations constantly reiterate their main themes in
their marketing materials, logo design, customer service
messages and workplace ethos.

THE DEFINITION OF VISION
• Vision is where an organisation wants to go: it
describes the targeted successful state for an
organisation. An organisational vision should be
challenging and inspirational to its employees and
stakeholders. A vision statement usually presents an
ideal in the longer rather than in the shorter term.
• A vision statement articulates the overreaching,
long-term goals of the enterprise. It is a look beyond
the present to see what the future could be.

THE DEFINITION OF MISSION
• Mission is what an organisation is here to deliver. It
is the reason for its existence and supports the
attainment of the vision. The mission is usually
measured by how well an organisation is achieving
its objectives and goals.
• A mission specifies how the organization will get
there. A well formulated mission outlines the who,
what, and why.

set of ideals, and a standard of behaviour expected
in the organisation. Some organisations use a code
of conduct or ethics to put these values into
practice.
• Values express the ethics that must guide the
behavior of the organization and its team members
as they seek to achieve their vision and mission.
