Core Ideology typically means the Mission, Vision, & Values of a business entity. The ideology acts as a communication to stakeholders – from employees to investors – about what the company will always hold to; the guideposts from which to act.
The Mission, Vision & Values of an entity can be created by a solo-prenuer and then shared with others as his / her empire grows, or the ideology can be created by partners, board of directors and / or a mixture of who the business entity representatives are at this crucial setting down of the declaration of who the company is.
A influential study by Collins & Porras resulting in the book Built to Last written in 1994, makes the case that companies that go on beyond the founders have done so by standing by the initial core ideology.
It is noteworthy that in the majority of these company’s statements about ideology, there is a common thread of inspirational loftiness and intentional well-meaning.
There is a fundamental ideal or “knowing” of an ability to influence, adjust and make the world a better place.
At the core or essence of each of us is this knowing.
It is this essence, coupled with a business core ideology, that not only will drive your business to wild, fulfilling success,
the combo contains the unique ability to be a powerful Source of Good; championing a philosophy that positively influences.
