Yes, there is a difference between Vision and Mission. Sadly enough, most organizations do not know the difference, and end up creating unnecessary confusion within their organization – resulting in stunned forward momentum. In a nutshell…

Vision is

• Future Oriented
• The bigger picture
• The aspiration
• How you envision the world
• The results
• The purpose
• The Why

Mission is

• The process of achieving the Vision
• Now oriented
• The action & activity
• The methods, systems, approaches
• The How

When the Vision is not reached, it is not the Vision that needs changing, but the Mission – the methods of attaining the Vision.
