A couple of fairly crucial points, though. The vision for the enterprise has a wider scope (and probably more abstract scope) than the organisation for which we're creating an architecture: so the 'vision' isn't the usual organisation-centric marketing puff, but something more descriptive, more engaging, that encompasses <em>all</em> players in the extended-enterprise. The other point is that, in order to succeed in its task, the enterprise-vision statement or phrase has a very specific structure: more on that in the later post <a href="http://weblog.tomgraves.org/index.php/2010/07/12/structure-for-enterprise-vision/" rel="nofollow">'A structure for enterprise vision'</a>.

The vision helps one to select what to do and how to do it. It defines the somewhat liquid boundaries of the enterprise. Simon Sinek describes this http://www.startwithwhy.com/ . Those that fail to address and reevaluate the vision will not be as successful as those who have a clear vision.
