Abstract
This IDC Perspective explains why vision and mission statements are a key component of successful IT and enterprise transformation, describes the key purposes and essential elements and attributes of effective vision and mission statements, and explains how CIOs can create and deploy new IT vision and mission statements to help initiate and guide change.
"Effective vision and mission statements serve as a crucial guiding beacon for organizations undergoing change, tap hidden energy, align disparate organizations and people, and spur change to an aspirational future desired state," says Marc Strohlein, adjunct research advisor with IDC's Research Network. "They also serve as the clearest, most visible link between IT and the business enterprise — especially when both are undergoing digitally driven change."
