Our North Star

The Vision, Mission, & Strategy that Guide our Work

Mission

Our core purpose and reason for existence. (Who we are & seek to do everyday)

Vision

Our long-term goal or aspiration of an organization (What do we want to see in the world?)

Strategy

Our plan to achieve our long-term goals, while creating a sustainable competitive advantage (Where do we play and how do we win?)

💡 I like Gibson Biddle’s approach of asking: “How will your product delight customers, in hard-to-copy, margin-enhancing ways?” Read more
.
💡 Another good prompt is: “What are our unique superpowers and how do they intersect with customer needs?”
