Is the mission of the Foundation to be defined in terms of a process, or in terms of our goals?We have this process which has evolved, that creates value on a massive scale at a low cost. Should the mission of the Foundation be about maintaining this process and replicating it in other projects?Or do we say, this process that creates value on a massive scale is just a useful means that allows us to achieve lofty goals, which is the actual end and purpose of the Foundation. I think it is very easy to talk about lofty goals, but none of these can ever be achieved except for the existence of the process. Defining the mission in terms of the process keeps us within our core competency, and keeps the Foundation focussed on doing the things it can do better than anyone else. |
