IWC Vision, Mission, and Quality Statements


IWC requires certain management, although sometimes bureaucratic, tasks to be performed by all those in IWC management. Like many of today's modern corporations, IWC has developed vision, mission, and quality statements using a hierarchical process. IWC directed that the statements should link all levels in the management and organizational chain. The statements of the lower levels should be written and used to support the upper levels and vice versa.

Most employees seem to look upon such "statements" as just another management task that is somehow supposed to help all employees understand their jobs—or whatever. Such statements are often developed in "employee team meetings," printed, placed on walls, and soon forgotten. Confidentially, many managers feel the same way, and that is probably why managers present them as just another task to be performed by or with employees.

This is unfortunate. These statements are a good idea because they set a direction and philosophy for everyone at IWC, at all organizational levels. If the statements are presented with the right attitude, they can be used to focus the employees on objectives and give them a better understanding of why they are there doing what they are doing. The following are IWC's vision, mission, and quality statements:

Vision Statement

In many of today's businesses, management develops a vision statement. The vision statement is usually a short paragraph that attempts to set the strategic goal, objective, or direction of the company. IWC has a vision statement and requires all organizations to have statements based on the IWC corporate statements.

What is a vision? A vision statement is a short statement that:

  • Is clear, concise and understandable by the employees;

  • Is connected to ethics, values, and behaviors;

  • States where IWC wants to be (long term);

  • Sets the tone; and

  • Sets the direction for IWC.

IWC's Vision Statement: IWC's vision is to maintain its competitive advantage in the global marketplace by providing widgets to our customers when they want them, where they want them, and at a fair price.

Mission Statement

Mission statements are declarations of the purpose of a business or government agency.
