Replying to LO26833 --
I suppose I should be more specific about vision. It is about what the
organization is capable of -- what it can do. Vision is about the
organization's ability and there is an element of pride involved in it.

> I would submit that vision is about opportunities. Mission is the
> organization's purpose. In a Learning Organization (which I would submit is
> an organic model, not a mechanical one), neither can be contained in a
> "statement." In a Learning Organization, they are "alive." They live and
> grow through constant reflection and dialogue throughout the organization.
> In addition, I would submit that, as suggested by the authors of "Built
> to Last," a Learning Organization needs Core Values, as well as Core
> Purpose. Together they form the organization's "Character." Without
> character, the organization cannot live.
