Chiropractic our Mission and Commitment As an owner of the great American icon .. Coca-Cola, I was impressed with their initial packet which is sent to each new shareholder. Within this packet is a booklet entitled Our Mission and Our Commitment. They clearly want each of their shareholders to be part of their mission and their commitment towards future growth and prosperity. The intention of this Chiropractic Philosophy book is to outline ... in the fashion of Coca-Cola ... our Chiropractic Mission and Commitment. Italics are from the Coca-Cola Mission and Commitment Booklet. "...We now rededicate ourselves to our mission and pledge our commitment to it. Only then will we be able to approach our daily tasks with the proper focus. Actions taken in line with that focus will further sharpen it and produce the ambitious results we demand of ourselves. This document articulates our mission and commitment with more clarity and precision than ever before. If we understand and embrace it, the results of our actions will make us emerge from the challenging 1990's far stronger than we are today.¾ Roberto C. Goizueta, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Coca-Cola February 1994: The above statement was written for us as well. We must dedicate and be dedicated to our professional and personal goals of increased community wellness with chiropractic. Our reach has to be long and great as there are too many who have yet to be touched by chiropractic. Outlines and ideas must be formulated and acted upon as we grow in awareness and credibility. Selected fields within our parameters will be enhanced with further results and research. We¼ll expound upon this mission statement and others as we express and progress this great idea .. Chiropractic .. which has already arrived. With your help it will blossom to fruition and everlasting awareness for generations yet to come. Our Mission: „We exist to create value for our share owners on a long-term basis by building a business that enhances the Coca-Cola Company¼s trademarks. This also is our ultimate commitment. As the world¼s largest beverage company, we refresh that world. We do this by developing superior soft drinks. In creating value, we succeed or fail based on our ability to perform as worthy stewards of several key assets: 1: Coca-Cola, the world¼s most powerful trademark, and highly valuable trademarks. 2: The world¼s most effective and persuasive distribution system. 3: Satisfied customers, who make good profit selling products. 4: Our people, who are ultimately responsible for building their enterprise. 5: Our abundant resources, which must be intelligently allocated. 6: Our strong global leadership in the beverage industry in particular and in the business in the world. Roberto C. Goizueta, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Coca-Cola February 1994: Can you see it .. can you feel it? The words and phrases are truly Chiropractic. We provide value to each and every shareholder of our product called .. Life. We are the stewards of the vessel called the body and we live or die upon it¼s ability to express .. Life. There is no larger service than to assist in reducing interference to it .. Life! Is there a higher commitment to the power that created this body than to assist in doing less and by so doing increasingly more. We, the people, are ultimately responsible for building this bridge between our frail shell and the ultimate power that created us. It thrives in abundant levels ... it¼s innate levels of energy an abundant resource ... allowing us to thrive and grow in ever increasing abundance. We, chiropractors, are the guardians .. the only guardians .. of this special gift .. Life and Health. This is our trademark. We and we alone are the leaders in an industry beset with failure and crisis. If your thirst for more and your greed to hold fast to the flame is strong, then you have arrived at your moment of truth. If you can leave behind what you conceive as true and begin a journey of awe and respect of what little you know .. then you are welcomed aboard. As a philosophical chiropractor you must first respect what little intellectual .. educated .. mind you have and give in to Innate. Mere words? .. This is your life long mission and commitment. 1: Our Trademarks: „We create demand by continually expanding the relationship that bonds our trademarks, principally Coca-Cola, with the 5 billion people on this planet. Everything we do must strengthen that bond, and we will utilize every available resource to expand the value of our trademarks in hearts and minds of our consumers. Ä We will continue to make our trademarks, especially Coca-Cola , the most recognized, most powerful commercial symbols in any market where they are present. Ä We will continually strive to enhance every aspect of product and package quality. Ä We will continually expand and brighten our trademark presence. Ä We will always communicate advertising messages that bond with our consumers. Ä We will never hesitate to adjust our product line to keep Coca-Cola trademark strong, pervasive and present, as such adjustments may become necessary due to changes in the desires and needs of our consumers. In doing this, we will never compromise the integrity of our core trademark and all for which it stands.¾ What is our Chiropractic trademark? Can we strive to continually evolve with the changing health care climate? Will we be passive in communicating the message of Life and Health rather than Sickness and Disease? Will be strive to expand our trademark .. and keep our future bright? What is our by product? It¼s increased personal performance .. increased potential .. increased immunity, wellness, homeostasis and decreased sickness, pain and disease. What more can a mortal wish for? 2: Our Global Distribution System: „We fulfill demand by creating and leading the production and distribution systems best capable of delivering our products to the consumers who sell them and the people whoi buy them. We value every component of our enterprise, and we depend on each one to reach our consumers. We will continually evaluate and enhance our relationship with every link in our system, increasing the opportunities to fulfill consumer needs as efficiently as possible. Ä Our realtionship with our bottlers and distributors will be defind by their desire and ability to strengthen our relationship with the people who buy our products. We will always help our bottlers serve our customers and consumers effectively and efficently. Ä Our relationship with suppliers to our system mustinvolve them as an integral link in the value-adding process. Ä Our relationship with the communities we serve must be of a kind that makes ther Coca-Cola system a stand-out citizen of those communities.¾ Do we have global and universal reach within Chiropractic? You bet. Each and every one from the poorest to the wealishiest soul requires and yearns for a supply of nervous energy .. a collaboration of oneness .. coordination of a distribution center destind to supply creative and supportive intelligence, energy and matter. 3: Our Customers: „We fulfill demand by assiduously building and maintaining relationships with our customers that are mutually benficial and that ultimetely transalate into competitive advantage. Our relationship with our customers must continue to evolve. We cannot allow ourselves to be limited to the role of mere supplier, but must instead make sure every customer views as a a partner in the creation of value for them. We will do this by inventing and reinventing ways to provide customer service and by developing value-added activities that enhance customer proffitability.¾ Our Patients: we must continue to build the bridge that binds us together. We must link the innate energy from source to source to envelope the oneness that is us. Collectively, we chiropractors must form a relationship that continues to evoilve into a more perfect union of thought and deed to assist the energy that wishes to be free. We do not have to invent and re-invent the creation .. the innante forces that evolved over eons has been true and pure from day one to many tomorrows. Our mechanistic evolution of postural stress has produced road blocks and interference. Just let be and go with the flow. Stand clear and let innate flow from oneness. We cannot limit ourselves to a principal based on methodology, instead we must be partners in the common thread of truth.
