Some companies exist primarily (or exclusively) to make money. Others exist for a variety of non-financial (or pseudo-financial) reasons. But in much of the research<\/a> about companies that have gone from startup to scale to world-changing status, observers found a common architecture. This architecture is vision-based, and mission driven. It starts with a core purpose and core values, then builds from those to a strategic vision and a BHAG, from which flow a set of strategic initiatives.<\/p>\n

I created the graphic below in an attempt to illustrate this:<\/p>\n

\"vision-based-framework\"<\/p>\n

We’ve used a vision-based framework at Moz for a long time, but often not been as explicit about as we could and should have been. I wrote about some of these in our recent announcement of moving from SEOmoz to Moz<\/a>, and this past week, at our quarterly AllHands meeting (our first as Moz), I presented a slide deck with more on this topic. Despite having what most companies would probably consider fairly “confidential” information, I decided to publish the deck, which you can see below.<\/p>\n

I’ve scrubbed only a single section – one of our strategic initiatives – from the presentation.<\/p>\n
