A vision statement might contain references to how the organization intends to make that future into a reality, the “how” is really part of a “mission” statement, while the vision statement is simply a description of the “what,” or, what the organization intends to become. An example for an online retailer will be

“We intend to provide our customers with the best online shopping experience from beginning to end, with a smart, searchable website, easy-to-follow instructions, clear and secure payment methods, and fast, quality delivery.”
