Best for
This is the internal north star, why the business exists beyond profit, and the values that shape how people inside it actually behave day to day. It comes before strategy: the Strategy Planner (MK-004) builds strategic choices on top of a clear vision, not the other way round. It's also distinct from the Value Proposition Toolkit (MK-011), which defines the external, customer-facing promise of why customers should buy. This toolkit is about the inside of the business, not the pitch to the market.
Expected practical outcome
Define a vision specific enough to guide a real decision and values specific enough to describe an actual behaviour, before you write a single word for the wall. Test both with the wider team, embed them into how the business hires, reviews and decides, and make sure leaders live them first.
