# Fieldnote: mission, vision and values ## Mission statement options 1. Fieldnote exists to help small clinics spend less time on admin and more time with patients. 2. Our mission is to make it easier for small clinics to spend less time on admin and more time with patients, through scheduling software that is simple, honest and dependable. 3. We help small clinics spend less time on admin and more time with patients — every day, with every product we make. ## Vision statement options 1. A world where every clinic runs on time. 2. We want to be the scheduling software company small clinics trust most to help them spend less time on admin and more time with patients. 3. By building scheduling software people rely on, we are working towards a world where every clinic runs on time. ## Values - **Simplicity** — we remove steps, jargon and clutter wherever we can. - **Reliability** — people can count on us to deliver what we promised, when we promised it. - **Respect** — we treat everyone we work with fairly and courteously. Tip: a mission says what you do now and for whom; a vision describes the future you are working towards. Keep each to one sentence, and only list values you would act on when they cost you something.

How to use the mission and vision statement generator

  1. Type your Company and Industry or product, such as “Fieldnote” and “scheduling software”.
  2. Fill in Audience, for example “small clinics”.
  3. Fill in What you help them do, written to follow “help small clinics…”.
  4. Fill in The future you’re working towards, written to follow “A world where…”.
  5. List your Values one per line, then copy the Markdown or download mission-vision-values.md.

What it does and when to use it

Mission and vision statements are often written in long meetings and end up vague. Starting from concrete drafts, built from who you serve and what changes for them, keeps the discussion specific. Use the output in a planning workshop, on a careers page, in a pitch deck or in an employee handbook.

Each section offers alternatives:

Section What you get
Mission “exists to help…”, “Our mission is to make it easier…”, “We help… every day”
Vision “A world where…”, “the company [audience] trust most…”, “working towards a world where…”
Values Each value in bold with a one-line meaning

To use the same facts on your website, try the about us page generator. For a short public tagline, use the slogan generator. To say it out loud at events, the elevator pitch generator uses similar inputs.

How it works

Your answers fill fixed templates. Empty fields fall back to wording that still reads as a sentence: “our customers” and “solve a real problem”, no industry word at all, and a bracketed prompt such as [the change you want to see] for the future, so fill every field for real use. Values come one per line; known values get a stock description and the others get a neutral one. The Markdown and a formatted preview are built from the same content in your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Worked examples

Default inputs. Fieldnote, scheduling software for small clinics. The first mission option is Fieldnote exists to help small clinics spend less time on admin and more time with patients. The first vision option is A world where every clinic runs on time. Reliability is described as “people can count on us to deliver what we promised, when we promised it”.

One value. Values set to “Curiosity” gives a single line: **Curiosity** — we ask questions and learn from what we find.

The third vision option. With the same inputs it reads “By building scheduling software people rely on, we are working towards a world where every clinic runs on time.”

Limits and tips

  • Keep the mission to one sentence a new employee could repeat.
  • Only list values you would act on even when they cost you something; the tool adds this advice as a tip in the output.
  • Avoid big claims such as “the most trusted” unless you can show evidence.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a mission and a vision?
A mission says what you do now and for whom, for example "Fieldnote exists to help small clinics spend less time on admin". A vision describes the future you are working towards, such as "A world where every clinic runs on time". The tool adds this reminder under the values.
How should I phrase "The future you're working towards"?
As something that can follow "A world where", such as "every clinic runs on time". The first vision option then reads well. The third option puts the same words after "working towards a world where", so it reads well too, for example "a future where every clinic runs on time".
Where do the value descriptions come from?
From a short built-in list of 18 common values, such as Reliability, Respect and Curiosity. Other values get the line "we let [value] guide our decisions". If you leave Values empty, the tool uses Integrity, Quality and Customer focus as placeholders.
Is this written by AI?
No. The statements are fixed sentence templates filled with your answers, built in your browser. They are meant as a starting point for a team discussion, not a finished statement.
