Part One  First 2 pages should discuss the following:

•What are the organization’s values as presented in a values statement (or otherwise communicated)?

◦Was the creation of the shared values statement done by a select group of individuals or all individuals?

◦How accurate are the values (i.e., single words representing a value or specific actions that reflected a value?)

•What is the organization’s vision statement?

◦How was the vision statement created?

◦How inspiring is the vision statement?

•What is the organization’s mission statement?

◦How does the mission statement clarify the purpose of the organization?

◦How does the mission statement align with the vision statement? With the values statement?

 

If the organization fails to have any of these statements, explore the organizational challenges that resulted in the lack of these foundational elements.

 

 The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your first post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response.

◦What recommendations would you make to improve the values statement and to enhance how it is used in organizational behaviors and decision making?
