Organizational Structural Presentation Action Plan, Part II
The task for our project consisted of our team developing an
action plan and determining our audience. Learning team B
chose our selected audience to be a new diverse management
team that will be over the Hispanic Senior Services. Our
standpoint will be that of the board of directors. As board of
directors, we would be speaking with them about ways to extend
our long-term care services and come up with an action plan.
The action plan must include methods to integrate management,
administrative and health care services amongst the diverse
clientele. The board of directors will propose how they want to
coordinate those services into a cross-functional medical

2. environment. In efforts to relate to the need outside of the
facility, new changes must go into effect. Due to the expansion,
certain positions inside and outside of the facility need to be
filled by bilingual healthcare workers. The new Hispanic Senior
Services team must consider how to hire and train several new
employees. This new team will alleviate cultural and
communication barriers. Each team member in learning team B
has agreed to cover discussion statements and subtopics. Team
B has modified the original plan, it is now called Action Plan II,
and discloses what deliverables, challenges, and circumstances
occurred while working on the new plan.
Define Each Team Members Deliverables
Team member April was responsible for discussing the steps
involved in organizational planning and the functions of
management. The information presented also had to include the
steps used in the plan and implementation concerning the
change within the organization. In addition, the discussion
statements must reveal how those steps could be applied to the
scenario. Team member Vanessa had to explain the effects of
financial and human resource management control issues and
address the subtopics that went with her discussion statement.
Team member Stevee was responsible for organizational
structure in communication and ethical issues in today’s health
care organizations. Team member Chantle was responsible for
explaining the propose strategies and methods needed to
influence organizational change and to minimize conflict and
address the subtopics listed.
What Worked Well For the Team?
Team member April suggested that what worked well was
choosing who will take certain discussion statements early on in
Action Plan I. Team member Vanessa Creekmore felt that one of
the up sides was having a strong leader that kept everyone on
track to get each part of the assignments in on time.
What Challenges Did the Team Encounter?
There were a few challenges. One of the first challenges for
April was narrowing down the amount of information into a few

3. slides. The chapters the class has been discussing provided so
much valuable information, it made the selection process
difficult. Another challenge was that the planning strategies
where probably some that could have been applied to other
questions that my team mates were assigned. Vanessa thought
one of the biggest challenges was the lack of communication on
her part due to some personal issues and the lack of effort that
was put into some assignments. For many assignments, Stevee
biggest challenge is digging up as much information about the
topics for her assignment to flow efficiently. There are many
points to cover when looking at the effects of organizational
structure on communication. It is taking more time to cover all
of the subjects. Chantle thoughts were that every team faces
challenges. The biggest challenges are conflict of schedule,
some of us are on different time zones, have different works
schedules and also have personal life.
How Did The Team Overcome Those Challenges?
April’s challenges were overcome by choosing the most
effective and practical business strategy. When concerning the
use of the same information, it was the only option to explain
the discussion. The angle chosen was from a different
perspective so it could be used in both
situations. Vanessa’ challenge was over come when she was
able to communicate with the team and get her work done in on
time. With much research, Stevee has overcome her challenges
and has found the material. The only thing left to do so far is
combining the information and creating the PowerPoint.
However, by having a broad spectrum of ideas about the
question, it is easier for her to create her power point so far.
When she started looking for information on ethical issues in
today’s health care organization, the information was provided
easier than she expected.
What Would The Team Do Differently, Why?
There is nothing that April would do differently. She feels
confident in knowing that the statements where explained fully

4. and to the best of her ability. April has provided her slides,
references, citations and speaker notes and is finished with her
portion of the team assignment.
Vanessa said, “This team has worked together to through the
good and the bad”. Vanessa also thinks that communication is
the biggest key factor when it comes to working with a team
because the lack of communication can leave other team
members doing extra work but you can’t have too much
communication. Chantle also agreed that the most important
ingredient for a successful team is communication. She also
feels that team members should make sure all assignments are
completed in a timely manner. Secondly, always plan ahead in
case of foreseen incident may occur. A Chantle final thought
concerning the team is “this team has work together and
produce great quality work.” If Stevee had the opportunity to do
anything differently, she would have chosen two topics that
related closer to each other. By doing this, the information
would flow better along with making research easier.
Conclusion
The team was able to accomplish its goal in the original action
plan by using methods of effective communication, team
collaboration and strategic planning. The original action plan
allowed each member to discuss ways and solutions to expand a
health care organization. The modified action plan allowed each
team member to express their views while working on the
assignment from different angles. Although there were some
differences, as a team we were able to strategically maneuver
amongst all of the challenges that were presented. The
modified action plan also helped grasped many similarities.
Every member had to be able to balance their personal life,
class assignments and use time management strategies in
accomplishing this goal.
