Long-range ambition · The ambition statement · Element

The destination

The stated position, size or condition the organisation is heading for.

The part

What it is

A destination is a state, not a direction. “Grow strongly” cannot be reached; “the reference supplier in our category” can be judged.

The year is part of the statement rather than a footnote, because it is what makes the ambition capable of being missed.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
