I’m in the same course at DeVry as Doug and Kacee. Interesting we should meet like this!

I have found this particular article very informative. Thank you for posting your process.

I have Doug beat on the age – I’m 59. However, this isn’t my first college experience.

Hello,
I am a new college student (at 47!). Our team project is developing a team mission statement based on the course criteria. Internet research on this subject is a requirement for developing our statement and I volunteered to get us started. I hope this site can be useful to our team.
Thank You,

In the case of our group we are utilizing many techniques and methods for evangelizing. There is the outward elevator pitch – the 2 second hallway response to what does your group do as well as fully fleshed out mission with goals and objectives.

The process of doing the mission and then from that crafting goals with tangible, measureable objectives, was more important to bring the team together under a single cohesive mission or vision – than as a long term tool for evangelizing the group outwardly.

I think a mission – much like a shared vision – is important. When the group is responsible for creating it, it is a share mantle that everyone works under. Our aspirations are the same, the goals are the same and the group comes together as a team.

From that, then I think it appropriate to craft shorter more concise extrernal messages.

You make a great point. Generally I would post, but I need to review and sanitize before I post this one since I am still here and some of it is company specific.
