FAQ
How do I make sure my vision statement isn’t vague or cliché?
Avoid overused phrases like ‘world-class’ or ‘innovative.’ Instead, ground your statement in specific outcomes. For example, instead of ‘we empower people,’ try ‘we ensure every student in underserved communities graduates with a trade certification.’ Ask yourself: *Can someone point to concrete actions tied to this?* If not, refine it further.
Should my vision statement include measurable goals?
Not directly—vision statements focus on *aspirations*, not tactics. For example, ‘We eliminate food waste in urban areas’ is a vision; ‘We’ll reduce landfill waste by 30% in 5 years’ is a goal. Your vision should inspire, while metrics guide the journey. Save KPIs for your strategy document.
Can I combine multiple vision statements from different templates?
Yes, but be cautious. Mixing templates risks creating a diluted or contradictory message. Start with one template that aligns with your core purpose, then *adapt* phrases from others to strengthen it—never stitch together unrelated ideas. A vision statement should feel cohesive, like a single voice, not a collage.
