Function: the kind of action or activity proper to a person, thing, or institution; the purpose for which something is designed or exists; role. Purpose: the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc.1 | |||
Role: Like the word “tool”, a role defines where a person or entity will fit into the scope of things.

Function: The function of a tool, is the tasks that a particular role is assigned to accomplish. A hammer is a tool. To describe the function of a hammer, though, you would say that a hammer drives nails, removes nails, generally hits other lesser tools really, really hard. Another way to describe function is to think about when you read job descriptions–someone may be the Project Manager, but that’s just their role. What will their function at the company actually be? Well to answer that question, we list off the tasks that the PM will be doing. These tasks form the function of a particular role. | |||
Finally we come to Purpose. Purpose is very simply, the “why” behind our function. What is the ultimate goal of our efforts? To what end are we giving of our time and energy? These answers define our purpose. | |||
mission is what it does | |||
