How would you best characterize the definitive difference between a vision and a mission?

A vision statement is usually quite brief, whereas the mission statement offers large and descriptive explanations of "who we are, what we do$,$ and why we are here."

A mission statement typically concerns a company's present business scope and purpose, whereas a strategic vision sets forth "where we are going."

A mission statement deals with "where we are going," whereas a strategic vision provides the critical answer to "who we are, what we do$,$ and why we are here."

A mission statement addresses "how we are trying to make a profit today," while a strategic vision concerns "how will we make money in the markets of tomorrow."
