Here at Envato, our first company value is “When the Community Succeeds, We Succeed”. It’s a bit of a mantra for how we try to work as a company. Late last year in my 2013 Envato Wrap-up I reported back to the community on what we were doing to help them succeed.
Today I’d like to ask the community for some input to help us build a company vision for the future.
For the last few months the team has been discussing what Envato could achieve by the end of the decade. We’ve had more than two dozen meetings internally at our HQ and with remote team members. One thing we’ve all felt sure of is that our vision should be all about serving our community. After all, that’s our core company value.
Our aim in creating a company vision is to paint a picture of what Envato might look like in 2020. This will then be the destination point that we work towards.
A great example of a company vision is Microsoft’s vision from the 1980s which was to put a computer in every home and on every desk. Or JFK’s vision to put a man on the moon.
What will Envato’s vision be? We’re not 100% sure yet. But it’s going to be about helping our community succeed. So the most important question for us is:
What does community success look like?
