When preparing mission statements, “catch-all” statements always have spontaneous plausibility; “We do everything that belongs to modern human resources work” sounds good at first. Working on people and on organizational structures; consulting on experts and processes; peace and freedom—or as was often said in the 1970s, “peace, love and happiness.” These ideas sound good because they suggest that everything can be optimized at the same time; we optimize people, and we optimize the organizational structure. We are experts in a particular issue and simultaneously shape the processes. We are getting peace, freedom, joy, and we get to eat our cake too.

Developing Mission Statements Outside of an Understanding of Organizations as Machines

摘要

When preparing mission statements, “catch-all” statements always have spontaneous plausibility; “We do everything that belongs to modern human resources work” sounds good at first. Working on people and on organizational structures; consulting on experts and processes; peace and freedom—or as was often said in the 1970s, “peace, love and happiness.” These ideas sound good because they suggest that everything can be optimized at the same time; we optimize people, and we optimize the organizational structure. We are experts in a particular issue and simultaneously shape the processes. We are getting peace, freedom, joy, and we get to eat our cake too.
