Difference between Vision and Mission

Difference between Vision and Mission

* A mission is what an organization does, its action; a vision is what an organization would like to happen as a result of the action that it does.

* Mission equals the action; vision is the ultimate result of the action.

* Mission answers the question "What would not happen if we were not here as an organization?" Or more positively, "What change is achieved because we exist?"

* Vision answers the question: "What are the results, the ends, the consequences of our action?"

* Vision looks forward; mission looks at today.
