What is a company's Core Ideology? What does it consist of? And How does it relate to the company's vision statement?

Core ideology defines the enduring character of an organization—a consistent identity that transcends product or market life cycles, technological breakthroughs, management fads, and individual leaders. It is more important to know who you are than where you are going, for where you are going will change as the world around you changes. Leaders die, products become obsolete, markets change, new technologies emerge, and management fads come and go, but core ideology in a great company endures as a source of guidance and inspiration. Core ideology provides the glue that holds an organization together as it grows, decentralizes, diversifies, expands globally, and develops workplace diversity.

Any effective vision must embody the core ideology of the organization, which in turn consists of two distinct parts: core values, a system of guiding principles and tenets; and core purpose, the organization’s most fundamental reason for existence.

Core ideology is a belief that describes the purpose of your business, and it should describe how you plan to conduct yourself with your clients, your employees, and to the industry.

Core ideology is part of Company's vision alongwith the envisioned future (It is what we aspire to become)..
