Week 6 Assignment - Strategic Planning Implementation and Evaluation

Introduction

Building on the Strategic Planning and Development assignment from Week 3, prepare a 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, with narration, of your plan to present to the executive committee.

In this assignment, use the health care organization you selected in your Week 3 assignment. Determine why you are embarking on this strategic planning process (securing funding, establishing and focusing on organizational priorities, et cetera). In this presentation:

• Establish a clear vision for the strategic planning process.
• Paint a picture of where your organization will be going and of your desired outcomes.
• Ensure the picture is reality and not just what you or your executive committee may want to have happen.
• Make certain the strategic plan allows employees to know why the organization is changing.

Assignment Format

Your 10-slide PowerPoint presentation should follow this format:

Slide 1: Cover Slide

• Include the title of your presentation, your name, the course number and course title, your professor's name, the university's name, and the date.

Slide 2: Background/Executive Summary

• The title of this slide should be Executive Summary.
• Describe the details of the situation.
• Use bullets with short phrases.

Slide 3: Thesis Statement

• The title of this slide should be Thesis Statement.
• Identify the focus of your research.

Slides 49: Support

• Support your thesis statement following the SESC formula: state, explain, support, and conclude. (Use Sublevel 1 and 2 Headings to provide coherence and organization.)
• Provide in-text citations using the format in the Strayer Writing Standards.
