Mission Statement
The mission statement is an important component of a business plan because it is the essential statement which answers the questions ‘what business are we in?’ and ‘how do we want the business to develop?’ In essence, the mission statement defines the raison d’etre for the business. A mission statement however is more than just a bold statement of objectives or theme for a businesses’ existence. It gives a sense of purpose motivating the staff to work as a team towards the achievement of identifiable goals, with a committed determination that flows from the collective agreement that established those goals. In that regard, a mission statement
- provides the business and its staff with a sense of identity which differentiates the business from its competitors, and
- provides both legitimacy and a focus for present and future commercial activities.
The mission statement guiding Kings & Queens Medical International Group is set out below, but it is important to recognise that for a mission statement to receive total and unconditional support from all stakeholders involved in the success of the business, the stakeholders must be given some opportunity to contribute ideas and concepts for the betterment of the business. Accordingly, at some point in the future, action will be taken to refine the mission statement in consultation with staff.
The first step in that process is to determine, and follow some positive business development criteria that will provide a practical base for Kings & Queens Medical International Group’s commercial operations. Within that context therefore, Kings & Queens Medical International Group’s mission statement is:
