Creating and communicating strategic differentiation.

- Communicate these foundational statements to your entire team
Common Challenges
Our Bâton Voyager services addresses several clear challenges that prevent organizations and teams from achieving their highest potential:
No North Star
There is no clear focus. Leaders and team-members are unclear on the compelling purpose of the organization or its primary direction.
Goals Aren't Aspiration
Leaders and managers struggle to identify or communicate goals which are ambitious yet still attainable by their teams.
Lack of Self-Awareness
Lack of clarity about the nature, maturity and differentiating value of organizational capabilities prevents successful strategic execution.
Low Engagement
Team members and employees don't have a compelling answer to the “why” or purpose of the organization. An organizational culture that integrates an aligned mission, vision and/or values has an inspirational employee value proposition.
Our Capabilities
It is not often that a team has the honor and privilege to rewrite the foundational elements of an organizational culture. At Bâton, we recognize the significance of this endeavor and treat it with the respect and attention it deserves. Our team brings tremendous analytical and inter-personal experience to the creation of these core statements:

Real Results
Mission, vision, and values statements are the guiding forces behind an organization providing foundational direction to inform current and future business strategies. Our facilitated workshops result in:
Shared Purpose
An educational institution found that its mission, vision, and values were outdated and no longer reflected the work it was doing. Going through the Voyager process confirmed broad stakeholder agreement on the current mission of the institution, renewed motivation and engagement, and resolved internal tensions among those who were left out of the old mission, vision, and values.
Clear Vision
A regional transportation company found itself at a crossroads in terms of its next chapter of development under new leadership. The systematic statement of its mission, vision, and values results in clear, shared picture of where the organization is headed and the aspirational long-term goals to be accomplished.
Renewed Commitment
Utilizing Bâton’s Voyager service, a 75-year-old insurance company renewed and refreshed their foundational statements aligning and committing its teams to the next 75 years of customers and clients!
