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.
The other elements in the ambition statement
The gap
The distance between where the organisation is now and the destination.
