Dabei ist eine Vision kein strategischer Plan, beschreibt also nicht konkret, wie wir erfolgreich sein werden. Und eine Vision ist auch kein Unternehmensleitbild und keine Mission. Da sie den Endzustand darstellt, vergleiche ich sie eher mit einem Nordstern.

Originally, the megaproject was to be completed in 2007 at costs of only 2 billion euros. Instead, it did not open until 2020, at a total cost of over 6 billion euros. A project of similar scope was the first Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada.
