...for mission statement analysis is United Bronx Parents, Inc. There website is: http://www.ubpinc.org The current mission statement is as follows: “United Bronx Parents, Inc. (UBP) is a private, not-for profit “community grown” human services agency – providing a variety of social services in the South Bronx and on a citywide basis. Since 1965, UBP’s mission has been “To provide the basic human services necessary for families and individuals to obtain self-proficiency through dignity in their struggle to participate as the functioning and valuable citzens they are.”” The mission statement for UBP is aesthetically good and overall meaningful. It has a purpose statement, it lists the population it is working with and the activities. It also touches on its values and the geographic region it serves. However, it is longer than thirty words. To revise it I would shorten it slightly to read as such: “United Bronx Parents, Inc. is a private not for profit “community grown” human services agency providing the basic human services necessary for families and individuals in the South Bronx.” The second organization that I selected is Providence House which is the non-profit organization that provided me with my supportive housing apartment that I recently moved into since being a victim of a violent crime and subsequently homeless with my daughter for the past four years.

...Mission statement and swot As a security professional, the company I work for has worked closely with the TSA for airport security details. While my organization doesn't have a clearly defined mission statement and vision, the TSA does. Mission: Protect the Nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. Vision: Provide the most effective transportation security in the most efficient way as a high performing counter-terrorism organization. Core Values: Integrity - Respect and care for others and protect the information we handle. - Conduct ourselves in an honest, trustworthy and ethical manner at all times. - Gain strength from the diversity in our cultures. Innovation - Embrace and stand ready for change. - Courageous and willing to take on new challenges. - Have an enterprising spirit, striving for innovation and accepting the risk-taking that comes with it. Team Spirit - Open, respectful and dedicated to making others better. - Have a passion for challenge, success and being on a winning team. - Build teams around our strengths. The TSA, while suffering much criticism, has undoubtedly deterred much violence in today's social climate just through it's very existence. Sometimes the methods in which security professionals and law enforcement accomplish their missions are called into question, but I believe that this stems from a deep seated resentment of authority figures that many in society harbor. It's hard to quantify...

...Troublesome Statements Read the following statements and identify the language problem demonstrated by the sentence as polarization, bypassing, stereotyping, static evaluation, or biased language. Then revise the sentence to eliminate this problem. Turn this in to the drop box by the end of the unit. 1. You're either my friend or my enemy. Polarization. It does not allow a middle ground. It’s either or. Revised sentence: I have friends, enemies, classmates, associates, co-workers, etc. I try to avoid having enemies. 2. Ken says to his wife Lynette, “Glad to get out of that job. All those ragheads and their curry make me sick.” Biased Language. Ken is making a very derogatory statement using “ragheads” and “curry” to denote race. Revised sentence: “I am glad to be gone from that job. I just wasn’t happy there. I am looking forward to something better.” 3. Guess what? Janine said Chris has a good job. Can you imagine saying that when he works 50 hours a week, is on call the rest of the time, and only earns $31,000 a year? Stereotyping. What constitutes to be a good job for one person may not mean the same for someone else. Don’t judge based on your own interpretation of what you think something is. Chris may have had to leave a job that only allowed him to work 25 hours a week and he was barely making minimum wage. This new job is a “good job” according to Chris and Janine because it affords them more of an opportunity to bring in more income. One should not make...

...Vision Statement July 3rd, 2016 Vision Statement There are important differences regarding what is vision and mission statements. The importance of understanding their differences will help the organization to build a sustainable base that will guide the organization according to these statements. In conducting research on visions statements of different organizations I found the Amazon vision statement one that reflects a clear purpose of its future and that it is well communicated through simple words. According to Amazon "Our [Amazon's] vision is to be earth's most customer centric company; to build a place where people can come to find and discover anything they might want to buy online." (Quoted from Amazon.com). This vision statement selected provides an engaging picture of the future of the organization supported by it acts. Difference between vision and mission statements The difference between vision and mission statements include where the aspect is that they want to show regarding itself or society. Boone states “I've read that the mission statement answers the question: "What is our business?" The vision statement answers the question: "What do we want to become?" (Boone, 2005). A vision statement could be compared with a roadmap that will guide us in the future by setting defined directions and also what the company wants to become, and in order to be successful it should be clear, desirable, challenging, feasible, and easy to communicate. The mission statement...

Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination”. Analysis: Salvation Army’s vision and mission statements are one in the same and seem to lack length, direction, and meaning. Their published mission statement is not what one would expect from a nonprofit organization. It fails to address some of the areas since much of the organization's existence is tied up in this purpose; it is critical for the people to carefully craft the statements that shape it. Each one will be used both internally and externally as a reminder of the organization's rationale, and together they will be used to make important decisions about the organization. It lacks of the mission statement checklist test, the activities and services was not provided. Revised Mission Statement: “ Salvation Army is committed to serving the whole person, body, mind and spirit, with integrity and respect, using creative solutions to positively transform lives. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet...

...Criteria of a Good Mission Statement Changing the mission or creating an organization’s first mission statement is a process of gathering ideas and suggestions for the mission and honing them into a short, sharply focused phrase that meets specific criteria. An effective mission statement clearly defines who the customer is and what services and products the business intends to provide. It also serves as a guide for day-to-day operations and as the foundation for future decision-making. The following are criteria for a good mission statement: The Mission Statement is Focuses on Satisfying Customer Needs A mission statement should focused on satisfying customer needs rather than being focused on the product. Products and technologies eventually become outdated, but basic market needs may last forever. A market-oriented mission statement defines the business in terms of satisfying basic customer needs. For examples refer to the following “Market-Oriented Business Definitions” table. (Kotler p.49) The Mission Statement Tells “Who” Our Customers are. (Thompson Strickland, p.30) Who is being satisfied? A company should define the type of customers it wishes to serve. Which customer groups it is targeting. Customer groups are relevant because they indicate the market to be served, the geographic domain to be covered, and the types of buyers the firm is going after. The Mission Statement Explains “What” Customer Needs Our Company is Trying to Satisfy. What customer needs is the...

...stages of building an organization, mission statements are usually one of the first tasks to be completed by founding members. This is because the mission statement is the backbone of the organization. Mission statements lay out the organization’s reason for existence. In laying out the purpose for the organization, it gives the different divisions of the organization an overall goal to meet when they set individual goals and engage in decision making. Also, the mission statement communicates the reason for the organizations existence for all interested parties, both internally and externally. This essay explores why mission statements are important by analyzing the different reasons the mission statement plays such an important role. Just as the sounds of many instruments work in harmony to make a song, there are many moving parts that work together in organizations to reach goals. In music, timing helps keep all the “parts” moving together to make a synchronized piece. In business, the mission statement sets the tone by which all the “parts” work to reach a goal. The mission statement states what the company does, how it does it, and what the company would like to achieve. The mission statement defines the purpose of the organization, aligns organizational efforts, and acts as a means of communication both internally and externally. All decisions made in an organization support the purpose set forth by the mission statement. If decisions are made that stray from the...

...MISSION & VISION STATEMENTS FedEx & Google Mission & Vision Statement Analysis Prepared for Prepared by October, 2013 MISSION STATEMENT “Mission statement is a description of what an organization actually does – what its business is – and why it does it.” Often called the “credo”, “philosophy”, “core values” or “our aspirations”, organization’s mission is the statement that defines its core purpose or reason for being. It tells who a company is and what it does. According to P. Drucker, often called the father of modern management, a mission is the primary guidance in creating plans, strategies or making daily decisions. It is an important communication tool that conveys information about organization’s products, services, targeted customers, geographic markets, philosophies, values and plans for future growth to all of its stakeholders. In other words, every major reason why company exists must be reflected in its mission, so any employee, supplier, customer or community would understand the driving force behind organization’s operations. There are two types of statements: * Customer-oriented missions. Customer-oriented missions define organization’s purpose in terms of meeting customer needs or providing solutions for them. For example, Nokia’s statement “connecting people” is customer-oriented. * Product-oriented missions. Product-oriented missions focus on what products or services to serve rather than what solutions to provide for...
