Vision, Mission, Values

Our Vision, Mission, and Values guide our decisions and influence the work we do every day. They are aligned with the College’s mission and values, and are at the core of The AC Way.

Vision

Our Vision is where we see Algonquin College and its continuous improvement capacity in the future. If the work we do in the AC Way office is successful, we will change attitudes and behaviours about continuous improvement and embed a new continuous improvement culture in our collective culture.

AC Way Vision: Algonquin College people and departments work on their own and with others with a continuous improvement mindset to constantly identify and refine AC systems and processes so that they better serve our customers (students), partners, and each other.

Mission

If the Vision describes the future state, our Mission shows how we’ll get there and hints at the activities that are required to achieve it. It helps us to focus on the activities that are most important in driving us to success.

AC Way Mission - To help our people develop a systems thinking approach that puts Algonquin College's customers (students) first by fostering a continuous improvement mindset, capacity, and focus.

Values

Our Values define how we’ll work every day, and tell our clients what they can expect from us when they involve us in their projects and operations. In every interaction we strive to be:

Collaborative
Empathetic
Communicative
Detail-Oriented
Supportive
Humble
