Mission inspires the quest
At a February meeting, SAE President Sri Srinath explained to staff his plans for carrying out SAE's mission in 2022.
of the organization. This also refers to the
cultural dimension that doesn't get as
much visibility in the quest to draft a
" perfect " mission statement. Having a
great mission without supportive
organizational and cultural frameworks is
like designing a great car with serious
manufacturing defects.
SAE International's mission statement,
" Advance mobility knowledge and
solutions for the benefit of humanity, " is an
example that scores well on all the above
traits. Our mission remains ever fresh, ever
inspiring, and ever forward-looking. More
than 115 years since our inception, our
organization is still guided by these words.
Every strategic plan that our organization
develops is anchored by our mission.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is an
important focus area for most organizations
today, and many have DEI policy statements
or strategies in place. What works best, in
4 April 2022
my opinion, is when the organization's
mission is intimately tied with DEI. In SAE's
case, our mission covers " humanity " right in
the statement. There are few things more
inclusive or diverse than all of humanity.
Equitable access to all mobility knowledge
and solutions is an implied goal in our
mission. Not all mission statements allow for
DEI to be naturally covered, but having that
as an organic objective is inspiring.
A mission statement represents the
organization's quest for meaning. Much like
an individual's quest for meaning, it is a
" spiritual " endeavor because you are
capturing the spirit of the organization in
one phrase. If it doesn't, it is worth casting
aside the current mission statement that
doesn't meet all the criteria and starting
afresh to develop a new one. This is not easy
work but may be necessary in some
organizations, as a mission that is
meaningfully connected to why it exists is
