ASQ InfVoices – Clear Vision

The July topic of ASQ Influence Voices is “Do You Have a Clear Vision?” At the end of this article, Bill Troy (CEO of ASQ) questioned about Vision that “Do we have the right focus and does everyone know it?” “How about your organization?” “Do you have a clear vision—and is it giving you the focus you need to succeed?”

I agreed with Bill Troy and believed that Vision is the soul of company. From strategic point of view, vision is the over-riding principle that guides the organization and is the image of the future it seeks to be or to create. The value of vision is giving organization a direction. Mission is the purpose, reason of the organization for being in existence. I would like to introduce the vision, mission and value of two technology leading corporations in Hong Kong below.

The first corporation I would like to state is “Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC)”. HKSTPC is a statutory body set up by the HKSAR Government in 2001.

Their vision, mission and five cole values are shown as follows:

The second corporation is the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) which was founded by the Government of Hong Kong SAR in 2000 with a Mission of enhancing Hong Kong's competitiveness in technology-based industries through applied research.
