The mission clarifies the following points:
- What is our self-image. What is the purpose of the team?
- How does the team position itself within the cluster and the organization?
- How do we want to work together internally (rules of conduct within the team)? How do we behave towards our environment, our “suppliers” and “customers”?
- What roles and areas of responsibility are there in the team?
The Mission of a Cluster is derived from the Mission of the Organization, refined and supplemented as necessary.
