Our mission mindset

A mission approach is about outcomes – focusing on the desired impact or change, and the actions required to achieve it. A mission can be a specific organisational or business goal, or a wider ambition to make a difference at a societal level. Having clear goals makes it easier to ask the right questions, break down big challenges into manageable problems, and convene the right expertise to solve them.
