widget marketplace or Our Brand and Co. will possess the controlling market share of the
widget industry within the entire state of Texas.
Step 5
Research the vision statements of at least five publicly traded companies; find at least two
successful firms from your industry, if possible. Analyze the structure, length and style of the
examples you find and use them to help generate more ideas on how to format your vision
statement.
Step 6
Use the information you generated in Step 4 to write what your companys end state will be in
one sentence of 20 words or less. Write one brief statement of less than 20 words on how your
company will do business using the ideas you listed in Step 3. State in fewer than 20 words
what real value your business efforts will provide to your customer.
Step 7
Revise the statements you wrote in Step 6 by limiting yourself to a maximum of two sentences
and a total of 45 words. Focus your revision on capturing the substance of the draft of your
vision statement. Leave out any fluff or verbiage aimed at marketing your business. Keep
your strategic planning vision statement centered on how your company will achieve its long-term goals.
