My project this week: Updating our values and team vision.

For sure i know what we are doing - how we support teams, how our product works and what our USP is. But to take time and really define a vision is helpful to understand better where we want to go. A clear vision and defined values are essential for the success of a team and a company. They provide orientation, strengthen the sense of community and promote a positive culture.

You can imagine a business vision like a compass. Just as a compass guides us on a journey, pointing us in the right direction and keeping us on track, our vision provides guidance and clarity. It shows us where we want to go and helps us navigate through challenges.

So for example Amazon´s vision is: "To be Earth’s most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online, and endeavors to offer its customers the lowest possible prices."

But what does this mean for the HR Team? What many people don´t think about is a team vision broken down into smaller steps. So how can your team support the business vision?

Do you know your team’s vision and values? How often do you rethink them? Here’s how we can create this together:

Define your purpose

• Ask fundamental questions: Why does your team exist? What problems are you solving?
• Identify strengths: What are your unique strengths and competitive advantages as a team?

External analysis

• Unique contribution: Who are your (internal) clients? What makes your team’s work unique? Why should others rely on you?
• Benefit analysis: What key benefits do others get from your team’s contributions?

Internal analysis

• Team culture: What values and behaviors are prevalent in your current team culture?
• Team input: Gather feedback from team members on what the team stands for and should stand for.

Feel free to personalize this further to match your team's style and goals! Let’s build a future together with a clear vision and strong values!

And guys, it’s totally okay to mess up and take wrong turns on our journey to success. It’s not a failure, it’s just part of the learning process. Every challenge teaches us something important about our path and how we can do better.
