there is a slight increase in GDP. This slight
increase continues until the year 1820. The year
1820 marks the beginning of an amazing period
of growth where the data increases in almost a
vertical pattern.
Management Framework Review
1. “We believe that education is transformational”
2. “We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and generosity.”
3. “To develop disciples of Jesus Christ who are leaders in their homes, the Church
and their communities” (BYU Pathway Worldwide)
4. “Inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow” (Lego)
5. “At IKEA our vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people.”
6. “Our business idea supports this vision by offering a wide range of well-
designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people
as possible will be able to afford them. (IKEA)
7. BYU-Pathway Worldwide is designed to provide access to higher education
wherever the Church is organized. BYU Pathway starts by preparing students
through life-skills development and English-language learning. It also provides
access to appropriate certificate and degree programs by coordinating and
leveraging curriculum from across the Church Educational System.
 • The value statements describe things that the organization
values (education, respect, etc.) but they don’t say what they will
do, or how they will do it.
• The mission statements say what the organization does but it
doesn’t explain how they do it.
• Strategy statements describe how the organization will operate
“by offering a wide range of welldesigned, functional home
furnishing products…” or “Provide access to education by
selecting appropriate programs from CES schools” but they don’t
describe why they are doing it or what the purpose is.
Discussion Prompts:
1.How are your teams translating your values
into a mission and strategy?
2. What part(s) of the management framework
are your teams struggling with?
Have you ever started a project or a goal without a clear vision for what
you wanted to accomplish? What was the result?

• Have you ever had a clear vision of what you wanted but no plan for
how to accomplish it? How did it go?

• How could having clear values, mission, and strategy help you reach
your personal goals?
