Value statement

Q

Vision statement

Expanding what vision could be - there could be a vision for myself, for the IT org I lead, and for the way I cause change to be experienced (by stakeholders, employees, and customers)...

Expertise delivered with love?

Why statement

I get out of bed every morning because I want to improve the lives of employees, stakeholders, and customers through what we do and how we do it.

Maybe this is more a value statement? "By being the catalyst for transformative change and technology [enablement], I ensure that our mission lives within this space and empowers organizations to embrace change and thrive in a digital landscape." Overall, I'm not sure what to do w/ this; it isn't quite what I'm aiming for.
