A vision statement is a company’s aspiring beacon of its desirable long-term perspective in tangible pictures. It is an orienting tool, more of a company’s North Star―distant but clearly shows a direction that must be shared with all your people.
According to Jon Ane’s Company DNA, a company’s strategic DNA consists of three elements that must align and create synergy. Much like a cuttlefish, a company has three beating hearts:

- The core values
- The primary purpose
- “Live images” of the future
