Question:
Welcome to the team and congratulations on being appointed as the Project Manager at KELC(Kisha Early Learning Center). Because of the importance of this position, you will be reporting directly to myself, and you will also be part of the KELCBoard, as you will be providing leadership to the employees on meeting strategic objectives.
Your first task is to plan three new initiatives and integrate them into the strategic direction of the organisation. To begin this, I would like you to undertake a review of the current Business and Strategic Plans so that we can plot out the future direction of the organisation based on these new initiatives. I have attached a portion of the current Strategic Plan for your review.
The organisation is looking to expand to offer consultancy services in the following areas to ensure we remain competitive and to keep the business growing:
- Change management
- Customer services
- Social media
These roles have been advertised as yet, but I would like you to begin planning for these changes by redeveloping the Business Plan and Strategic Plan in line with these. You will also need to suggest three strategic objectives for the organisation. These changes might involve a restructure or changes to the organisation's mission, vision, values and goals. At least one strategy must involve an issue that we can positively promote to the media and community to demonstrate that we are a socially responsible organisation. Maybe a sustainability strategy? I'll leave that for you to decide.
Once you have redeveloped the plans, they will be consulted on to make any necessary improvements and put a development plan in place. As these changes will likely be wide ranging, make sure you research what our competitors are doing, and keep in mind KELC's mission, vision, goals, and values. How will your strategic objectives align with the organisational structure KELC has in place? What changes will we need to make?
Kind regards
