Respond by offering an alternative perspective of the most important element of the strategic planning process. Reminder: Be sure to support your posting and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and/or current literature. Use APA formatting to cite references in your posting and responses. Strategic planning is mentioned as being a deliberative, disciplined approach to helping key decision makers in organizations figure out what they think the should be doing (Bryson, 2011). This process can obtain more failures than successes. With that being said, it takes a wise and skillful leader to invest in the plan and connected various parties to the plan. Strategic planning can be explained as “articulating an organization’s mission, vision, goals, and the nature of the common good and public value to be created” (Bryson, 2011, pg. 20). Though strategic planning cannot stand alone- it needs to be equally supported by successful leadership and management. Leadership being the act of doing what is right and management being the act of doing what is right. Within strategic planning it can be necessary to work backwards then forward. Looking at a time line, seeing how much time is required for given work and a plan to be put in place. Dividing the period of time into sections/meeting times of where the issues can be addresses (Laureate Education, 2008) Doing “ideals” in a planning meeting focus around worse and best case scenarios. Along with ideals is incorporating new questions of looking inside the organization. Using SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) to revisit the organizations strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that are at hand. Besides monitoring trends of SWOT, there is the need to “monitor important external stakeholder groups, especially those who affect resource flows (directly and indirectly)” (Bryson, 2011, pg. 20). These are defined as customers, clients, payers or funders, dues-paying members, and regulators (Bryson, 2011). Communication and relations with these stakeholders is important in order to have a team of decision makers. Bryson (2011) relates strategic planning to an individual’s life by saying that everyone on some level is thinking, acting, and learning about various elements of their life. In my life, I know my purpose and the things I must do. This could be my greater purpose in the world and the things I must do daily to keep up with my job and the various things I schedule; appointments, meetings with friends, and weekly volunteer commitments. Through reading Strength’s Finder by Tom Rath, I was able to take as assessment and see my strengths as well as the weaknesses of these strengths. My strengths are; maximizer, empathy, adaptability, consistency, and harmony. I know the big issues that I am facing in my life and what strategies that have worked for me to overcome past obstacles.

Discussion: Identifying and Engaging Stakeholders for Strategic Planning Stakeholders can facilitate the success, or failure, of a strategic plan. Identifying internal and external stakeholders and building productive relationships should be an intentional and well-conceived part of the strategic planning process. As a nurse leader-manager involved in strategic planning, it is important that you consider who could be impacted by a proposed change and how the change may affect individuals’ roles, responsibilities, and relationships. It is also essential to think about which stakeholders may be able to offer expertise, capital, and/or sway to help exercise the strategic plan and generate buy-in. In this Discussion, you identify stakeholders who can assist with carrying forward a strategic plan. Your Instructor has assigned you to a small group for this Discussion. Craft your stakeholder description independently; through the collegial exchange that follows, you will offer each other suggestions for refinement. As in Weeks 2 and 3, use this small group Discussion to delve deeply into the concepts being presented as they are foundational to this course. To prepare: Reflect on a planned change effort you have experienced. Consider the following questions: How do you think stakeholder involvement may have impacted the outcome of this planned change? Were the right stakeholders involved? Did the stakeholders help to carry out the plan as needed? Should other stakeholders have been engaged? If so, how could relationships with additional stakeholders have been cultivated to better support the plan? How does reflecting on this instance of planned change inform your perspective on what is needed to engage stakeholders to successfully promote other strategic changes? Review the Mountain View Health Center case study, and reflect on the focus of your postings in the Week 2 Discussion 2 and the Week 3 Discussion. Conduct additional research as necessary to strengthen your understanding of the process of involving stakeholders in strategic planning and to deepen your thinking about the organization. For instance, you may research organizations with similarities to Mountain View, and examine information related to stakeholder involvement. Consider the following questions: Which internal and external stakeholders should be involved in strategic planning related to this case study? What assets and/or perspectives would each of these stakeholders offer to the process? What role would each potential stakeholder play in helping to move forward a strategic plan? When and how should the stakeholders become involved? How would you cultivate relationships with these stakeholders to produce the best possible results? How would the appropriate selection of stakeholders and their involvement promote the likelihood of successful adoption and implementation of a strategic plan? Post a description of internal and external stakeholders who should be involved in stra.

Discussion: Developing a Philosophy, Goals, and Objectives As addressed in this week’s Learning Resources, an organization’s philosophy statement derives from its mission and indicates the values and beliefs that steer decision making. An organization’s philosophy statement should be used to develop goals and objectives that lead to assured action. As effective organizations recognize, “setting specific goals in a clear and compelling way—and insisting that people work together to achieve them—is the best way to get results” (Ashkenas, 2012, para. 9). This Discussion builds on the Week 2 Discussion 2, as you create a philosophy statement, goals, and objectives for Mountain View Health Center, the organization featured in the case study introduced last week. You will continue to work within the same small group. Note: You will develop an individual philosophy statement, goals, and objectives independently. Through the collegial exchange that follows, you will offer each other suggestions for refinement. To prepare: Review information on philosophy statements, goals, and objectives in Chapter 7 of the Marquis and Huston text and in the other Learning Resources. Review the Mountain View Health Center case study presented in this week’s media, and reflect on the mission and vision statements you developed for Discussion 2 in Week 2. Conduct additional research as necessary to strengthen your understanding of the process for creating a philosophy statement and developing goals and objectives and to deepen your thinking about the organization. For instance, you may research organizations with similarities to Mountain View and examine their philosophy statements, goals, and objectives. Draft a philosophy statement for Mountain View Health Center. Craft at least one goal and at least one related objective to operationalize the philosophy. Consider what you have learned about the importance of the philosophy statement and the process of developing one, as well as the significance of and distinctions between goals and objectives. Post a philosophy statement for Mountain View Health Center, at least one goal, and at least one related objective. Offer insights you have gained about the process of developing a philosophy statement, as well as the significance of and distinctions between organizational goals and objectives. Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses. Consider the following: Are the philosophy statements, goals, and objectives clearly written and easy to understand? How well does the philosophy statement align with the mission and vision statements posted in Discussion 2 of Week 2? Does it reflect accepted values of the organization? Are the goals and objectives specific, measureable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound? How well do the philosophy statements, goals, and objectives reflect the stakeholders? Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of their philo.

Stakeholders can have a powerful impact on organizational decision-making and strategic planning, making stakeholder engagement essential. As a leader and manager of an organization, you will not only be tasked with building relationships and engaging key stakeholders, but also identifying their role in the strategic planning process. In this Discussion, you examine stakeholder engagement and the role of stakeholders in strategic planning. Post a response to one of the following three prompts: Suppose you are an organizational leader trying to develop collaborative support for new strategies. What is the most critical aspect for you to consider in terms of stakeholder roles (i.e., cultural competency, stakeholder engagement, etc.)? Suppose you are working with the stakeholders of an organization that has a dynamic and complex environment. How might the role of stakeholders in this environment differ from a more stable environment? How might this difference impact the structure of the strategic planning process? Suppose you are an organizational leader trying to build relationships and stakeholder support virtually. How might virtual stakeholder relationship building differ from on-ground relationship building? How might the role of a virtual stakeholder differ from the role of an on-ground stakeholder? .

Respond to each peer initial post with a response about 3-4 sentences long. Peer #1 Strategic planning guarantees that an organization stays important and receptive to the requirements of its locale and adds to organizational dependability and growth. It gives a premise to checking progress and for evaluating results and effect. It encourages new program improvement. Strategic planning empowers an organization to investigate the future in a methodical and precise way. From an administrative point of view, it’s planning empowers a Board to set arrangements and objectives to control the organization and gives a reasonable concentration to the Executive Director and staff for program usage and office administration. Most organizations comprehend the requirement for yearly program destinations and a program-centered work plan. Funders require them, and they give a premise to setting needs, arranging work, and evaluating progress. A developing number of Hispanic community-based organizations go past funder necessities to create yearly goals and working plans which additionally incorporate a deliberate plan for asset improvement, organizational advancement, and again Board advancement. Most gatherings think that it’s useful to characterize targets for a year span, and to outline techniques and projects to meet them (Bryson, 1995). Non-profit Organization strategic planning is required by all substances towards making progress. Most organizations devise their own particular strategic plan, a report that expresses an organization’s objectives and targets, the fundamental advances and moves to achieve those objectives and other critical components that are produced in the midst of planning. The strategic plan basically centers around the future and recommends measures that an organization must take to accomplish its objectives. Strategic planning additionally helps in setting up simultaneousness around the coveted consequences of the predetermined targets. It coordinates an organization towards its objectives and surveys and modifies the general course of the organization in light of evolving conditions. It channels the issues that forestall organizational growth, and advance and recommends reasonable measures and ventures in amending these issues (Bryson, 1988). A powerful strategic plan is a consequence of trained endeavors which at last characterize an organization, shapes and aides its exercises and capacities, orders its administrations and the purpose for its capacities and administration alongside a solid spotlight on what's to come.

For this week’s discussion, you are asked to research a bioterrorist incident. Begin by reviewing the Media Focus video on bioterrorism in Week 3 of the Content and Activties, then explore the Internet. Give an example and details from national/international news of a bioterrorist attack. Address all of the following in your post: · What was the classification of biological agent used in the attack? · Discuss the implications of the biological agent. · Discuss the therapy for the biological agent. · What are the decontamination procedures for the biological agent used in the attack? · Define the appropriate level of PPE required for this type of biological agent? In your post, provide the name of the incident you have chosen, and support your answers with evidence/examples. Please provide a working link and a citation for your source(s). In your replies to peers, compare the different biological agents, their implications and therapies. Discuss the different types of decontamination procedures and levels of PPE that would be required. Support your answer with evidence from scholarly sources. Discussion Board: Managing Dynamic Organizational Processes Chapter 10: Do you think it is possible for an outsider to accurately discern about the underlying cultural values of an organization by analyzing symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other observable aspects of culture in comparison to an insider with several years of work experience? Select a percentage (e.g., 10%, 70%, etc.) and explain your reasoning. Daft (2021) notes that culture is, “the set of values, norms, guiding beliefs, and understandings that is shared by members of an organization and taught to new members as the correct way to think, feel, and behave” (p. 445). Culture allows employees to integrate into a common environment and aids in adjusting to the external environment (Daft, 2021). An outside observer would be able to analyze symbols, ceremonies, dress, and other aspects of an organization and could accurately discern about 30% of an organization's cultural values. Symbols, ceremonies, dress, and other visually identifiable aspects of culture do not make up a large amount of organizational culture. The internal integration of coworkers guides employees' working relationships, interactions, communication, behaviors, and power structure (Daft, 2021). These are not easily identifiable from an outsider. An insider with several years of experience could more accurately gauge an organization’s cultural beliefs. About 90% of an organization’s culture could be projected by an employee after working at the same company for several years. This employee would be able to see day-to-day relationships, how goals are met with outsiders, professional development, and even what nonconforming behaviors are accepted (Daft, 2021). This knowledge is developed with hands-on experience that an outsider may not see from the outside over a short period. Sahoo (2022) notes that or ...

Respond by offering an alternative perspective of the most important element of the strategic planning process. Reminder: Be sure to support your posting and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and/or current literature. Use APA formatting to cite references in your posting and responses. The emerging approaches to management in public organizations stems from the challenges created by the market dynamics, including globalization and advances in technology. Strategic planning for success has therefore assumed greater importance for managers of public institutions. The key elements of the strategic planning process depends to a large extend on the model one adopts (whether conventional, issues-based, alignment, inspirational etc.). The policy process involves constant deliberations, bargaining and negotiations by politicians and other interest groups (Moore, 1995; Van Horn, et al., 2001). Therefore critical elements in strategic planning for public organizations include stakeholders, resource alignment and more importantly how to deliver sustainable outcomes. Strategic planning is a set of managerial decisions that determine the long term survival of an institution according to Whaelen and Hunger (2005). It is critical to constantly monitor and elevate the external opportunities and threats taking into consideration the internal strengths and weaknesses. In this regard, stakeholder analysis is critical to the success of strategic planning for success because it provides the opportunity for the institution to respond adequately to their needs and allow for institutional relevance and achievement of strategic objectives. Resource alignment is also important as it allows for the effective deployment of resources to meet objectives. The strategic planning for Parliament of Ghana which I coordinate, takes into consideration all emerging issues into consideration in developing strategic initiatives particularly the issue stakeholder consultation because as an institution representing the people, the institutional relevance is determined by the ability to respond to the needs of citizens.

REPLY 1: Organization culture is the trademark and the unmistakable character began inside each organization. Regardless of whether we are curious about companies like Starbucks, Google or WWF? Their names speak to the flavour of their work environments, the mentality, the unwritten convention of associations and the organization esteems. While some may consider organizational culture as the aftereffect of the organization's kin and procedures, something that can't be controlled or evaluated, in all actuality, organizational culture is suddenly substantial (Treven & Lynn, 2008). It very well may be purposely planned and utilized. It influences confidence and representative commitment. It oversees income rates and impacts organization execution and it influences benefit. Organizational culture separates the remarkably effective companies from all the rest. It very well may be a ground-breaking, upper hand. The organizations' culture is constantly unmistakable, yet the enormous champs, reliably, the organizations focus on culture. This article will talk about a portion of the general social definitions and will continue following some particular social definitions for organizations. Taking a gander at the inquiry how the organization culture influences the advancement methodology of the organizations (Weiner, 2018). The article will likewise delineate the impact of the patterns and advancements on the organization structure. What's more, the connection between the organizations' structure and culture? The article will likewise give instances of current patterns and improvements and various techniques that are as of now used to assist organizations with making the necessary change in their culture or structure. Culture definition changed as the years progressed. For instance, over four decades prior imagined a more extensive meaning of culture by proposing that culture was a »human-made piece of the earth. Attempting to decipher his definition, we may discuss »objective culture« (e.g., tables, PCs, trains) and »subjective culture« (e.g., standards, jobs, values). In an ongoing article in Harvard Business Review, the authors said that, Organizational culture is the aggregate impact of the regular convictions, practices, and estimations of the individuals inside an organization (Zak, 2018). Those standards inside any organization control how workers perform and serve clients, how they co-work with one another, regardless of whether they feel spurred to meet objectives, and on the off chance that they are truly into the organization's general strategic. How are representatives completing their work? Autonomously or cooperatively? Do representatives feel enlivened, submitted, and drew in, or irritated, exhausted, and undervalued? At the point when we talk about organizational culture, we are discussing the representative experience, the inward view. What do the representatives think? How is it, to work here? By what method can the initiative keep.

Returning Warriors Organization (RWO) Returning Warriors Organization (RWO) is a rapidly-growing association in Washington, DC. Last year, Vietnam veteran William Jones has held the CEO role of the organization which has more than doubled in membership. It now has over 3,000 members and has added Cassandra Jenkins as Director. Prior to the rapid growth, most of RWO’s records have been in paper format. However, the organization’s business manager, Regina Collins, has emphasized the need for a computerized system to help meet its information needs and to manage activities. In addition to Ms. Collins, the organization employs a part-time administrative assistant, Martha Reynolds. Martha performs clerical duties such as filing, recordkeeping, answering phone calls, and producing the monthly newsletter to members using Word on a Windows personal computer. Shawn Johnson is a Desert Storm veteran who performs maintenance activities part-time in the evenings. Robert Duncan serves in a part-time paid marketing coordinator position, overseeing 25 volunteers who meet every Tuesday to prepare contribution letters to send to the membership. The main concern of the RWO is with registering new members. When a prospective member wants to join, Mr. Jones, Ms. Jenkins or Ms. Collins speaks on the phone or in person with that person to establish rapport. Then, the person is mailed pre-numbered envelops for use in regular contributions to the RWO. Most contributions are made to the RWO using these envelops, although about 15% of each collection comes from cash and checks from non-member contributors. Additionally, RWO has a capital improvement campaign to purchase a building (and stop leasing) for the organization. Contributions to this fund are collected at fund-raising campaigns held once per month. The cost of acquiring the property, paving it, and making it ready for use is $500,000. RWO obtained a bank loan to finance this project, and makes monthly payments from the funds received at its fundraisers. As contributions are made, the remaining balance is reduced. Since RWO is recognized as a 501(c) 3, non-profit organization, all contributions are tax-deductible. In January, RWO send out a summary report of all contributions made using envelops during the previous year for use in income tax preparation. RWO must also keep track of records of all its fund raising campaigns. Mr. Jones and Ms. Jenkins have hired your small, information systems consulting firm to look into the possibility of developing an information system for RWO. This system will address the organization’s revenue resources and its record keeping requirements. Your contract has a six month turnaround time to complete the analysis and design of a feasible solution. In Unit Two , you will be required to complete: Introductory analysis phase requirements to include a cover letter addressed to the organization's management, a title page, a table of contents, and an executive summary of the an.

Response to the Attacks of 9/11 The events of 9/11 devastated our Nation's sense of security and changed the outlook of law enforcement forever. Aside from the impact the attacks had on this Nation; be it the death toll, the economic impact, etc., law enforcement faced other unknown challenges on that fateful day. Several law enforcement and private sector agencies ranging from the New York City Police Department to FEMA arrived at Ground Zero only to find that their ability to communicate was severely inhibited due to incompatible equipment and fragmented technologies. For this assessment, please research the communication challenges law enforcement agencies may have faced, be it internal, or in relation to other agencies, when responding to a particular disaster, either natural or man-made. Write a 3−5 page paper that: Details the facts of the incident and the specific communication problems encountered The consequences of those problems in terms of lives lost, etc. The steps taken by the relevant agencies to address those problems.

Respond in one of the following ways: Share additional potential challenges within the strategic planning process. Offer alternative ways to overcome the challenges your colleagues discussed. Reminder: Be sure to support your posting and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and/or current literature. Use APA formatting to cite references in your posting and responses. The Urban Planning Council is a governmental land use planning authority with responsibility for regulation and planning of property development in a Middle Eastern country. The organization carries out reviews of private sector land use master plans, providing input and advice as well as issuing permits. The organization also prepares master plans in-house in response to market demands for social housing. Finally, the Urban Planning Council is responsible for the creation, evolution, dissemination and implementation of various planning regulations, guide manuals and design standards to be adhered to by all entities in the sector. The mandates handed down to the Urban Planning Council by the higher levels of government are: To ensure sustainable and appropriate development of land to meet social, economic and cultural needs; To develop and curate the regulatory framework in which these activities take place; and To ensure training of and knowledge transfer to local citizen employees in order to comply with short- and long-term goals for reduced dependency on expatriate skill sets (this mandate is common to all governmental organizations in the country). According to Bryson (2011), a strategic issue is a “fundamental policy question or challenge affecting [the] mandates, missions, values…” of the organization. Two potential challenges that the organization may face within the strategic planning process are detailed here: Firstly, the mandates of other governmental and semi-governmental organizations (key stakeholders) are not always clear or static. The government frequently rearranges and/or merges departments within different stand-alone agencies, in an effort to clarify and rationalize their mandates or to simplify the regulatory environment as a whole in the country. This applies to utility service companies, transport authorities, county-level municipal organizations and sector-specific regulatory entities. In the past 10 years, such changes have happened at least once per year at some level. Secondly, the government has also been known to declare expatriate recruitment bans from time to time, in addition to ordering the removal of a percentage of existing expatriate employees. During such bans, which can last for a year or two, no government entity is allowed to permanently employ any foreign workers or professionals. This is done in an effort to ensure the highest possible levels of citizen employment. In this context, the term citizen refers to a national of the country. Such citizenship is only available by hereditary birth-right.

Response with 2-3 sentences to each one below 1. Goals and Objectives are a vital part of your grant proposal. Goals are extensive statements with a long-term, ideal outcome in mind. Most proposals have no more than three goals (Community Toolbox, 2015). Objectives are detailed statements that will show the reviewer exactly how you plan to achieve your goals (Community Toolbox, 2015). SMART objectives are well written objectives. Specific - Tell how much of what is to be accomplished in a given time-frame. Measurable - Information concerning the objective can be gathered, identified, or acquired from records. Achievable - The objectives are not only possible, the organization more than likely will be able to make them happen. Relevant to the mission - The organization has a clear perception of how these objectives fit in with the vision and mission of the organization. Timed - A timeline has been developed by the organization by which the objectives will be completed. Challenging - The organization is stretched to set its aims on important changes that are essential to members of the community (Community Toolbox, 2015). A proposal was written for Lightsville Public Schools based on four focus areas developing specific activities based on each need, and creating measurable tools to evaluate whether or not students and parents are succeeding (Colorado Grants, 2015). Although most proposals have no more than three goals, this proposal had four. Each of the four goals relate directly to the four focus areas described above (Colorado Grants, 2015). The goals were well written and specific and the objectives coincided. The objectives were followed by the SMART format. There is no question as to what was to be accomplished. Goal 1: Students who participate in the programs at the learning center will improve their academic achievement. Goal 1 had two objectives and they both coincided with the goal. The Read to Succeed Project’s goal, in my opinion told what the goal was, but it did not grab my attention to where I wanted to read further. The goal states: “The goal of the Read to Succeed! Project is to enable at risk students and students with learning and reading disabilities to improve their reading skills to the point where they can succeed in school and develop the reading skills that will prepare them for high school and post-secondary education (Kurzweil Educational Systems , 2002).” I would have worded the goal to say: The goal of the Read to Succeed! Project is to enable at risk students and students with learning and reading disabilities to advance their reading skills to the point where they are confident that they can succeed in school and their reading skills are developed to the point that they are confidently prepared for high school and post-secondary education. Objective 1 stated: “Providing a measurable increase in reading speed, comprehension, and reading attention span. The objective is that the students will do.

Respond to two out of the three discussion questions below. Be sure to source cite and reference list any information based on referenced publications. 300 word minimum APA Format 1. Graduate professors like to insist that the completion of thesis or dissertation research is not merely an “academic exercise” or final hurdle to obtaining the desired degree. Explain at least one personal benefit gained from completing a high quality thesis or dissertation. Then explain at least one societal benefit that follows. 2. Do recent technological advances (e.g., the Internet, electronic databases) assure that future research will be of higher quality, or of greater utility, than past research? Support your answer. 3. Daphne has been a member of a research team studying interpersonal aggression among preschoolers for more than a year. In that time, her team has repeatedly employed a consistent set of techniques and procedures to study preschoolers as they interact in a number of settings. The procedures involve volunteer mothers bringing their children to the university child development lab for a an observed "play session". Settings in which the observations have occurred so far include the university pre-school, affluent local day-care centers, and a pre-kindergarten program being offered in the neighborhood school district. All of these settings were fairly racially homogenous. Daphne has just learned that a friend of a friend can help her gain research access in the near future to preschoolers in an unusually racially diverse but impoverished preschool setting. Daphne decides she has no time to prepare a formal research proposal before embarking on the study. 'Besides,' she thinks, 'this study should go just like all the others we've done.' Is Daphne leaving herself open to problems in this situation, or is she safe moving ahead with no formal proposal, given how familiar she is with the study techniques and procedures? .
