The mission statement defines what you do and the Core Values help to define how you will do it.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, how does an organization "stick" to their mission statement as well as Core Values? Neither comes automatically. It involves an ongoing process which requires frequent review to keep focused and dynamic.Ken Bergerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00911635314701982449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873916959069353812.post-81358130656678357522008-08-17T12:41:00.000-04:002008-08-17T12:41:00.000-04:00I disagree that organizations need to discuss their core values. In the most successfull organizations, the core values are included in a mission statement clarifying specific needs to be filled.
