Being Mission-Driven
with Derek Ippensen
Our Mission
To help people, teams, and organizations find and live their purpose.
Our Vision
To create mission-driven partners.
Our Values
We believe in being progressive, disciplined, action-oriented, and results-oriented.
Our Goals
As we work with partners to achieve our mission-defined vision, we believe our partners will have found renewed purpose in, and excitement for, their work as they have developed:
A clear understanding of the mission, vision, values, and goals they can communicate;
The tools and understandings they need to be disciplined and mission-driven;
A context for discussions, decisions, and actions;
A clear vision of the future and a path forward to achieve the vision;
A plan to achieve their vision and goals, while understanding they have to remain flexible in the execution; and
A sense of urgency for achieving their goals, and accepted them as critical to their future.
Mission-driven people, making mission-driven decisions, taking mission-driven actions to achieve a mission-defined vision of success… This is being mission-driven.
