Create a strategic/operational plan which addresses critical issues based on a strategic planning model and design a plan/format to monitor implementation and progress towards meeting goals on the strategic and/or operational plan.

In this assignment, the student will create a strategic/operational plan which addresses critical issues based on a strategic planning model and design a plan/format to monitor implementation and progress towards meeting goals on the strategic and/or operational plan. As part of the assignment, the student will discuss how one goes about making changes/revisions to strategic and operational plans. They will also discuss how project management plays a role in this entire process. The student will explore and conduct a comprehensive search for appropriate formats. Justification for the format selected must be discussed on the initial section of the paper. The actual plan section of the paper must be in “chart/table” format. Variations to this requirement must have prior approval from the professor. Total 10-12 pages (minimum of 10 scholarly references) not counting the title and references pages.

Points to consider, when developing your strategic or operational plan, students should plan to ask some questions to help in the development of the plan—draw from your readings. Questions such as, does this issue/idea/program bear significance to the overall vision and mission of the organization? What is the background of the problem or program? Who are the key stakeholders? Is this a key priority for the organization? What are the goals? Expected outcome? Timeline? Etc.

NOTE: Late assignments will not be accepted beyond the posted due date. If a student has an extenuating circumstance that precludes a timely submission, the student is expected to communicate with the professor beforehand to discuss a possible extension. There are no exceptions; a grade of zero will be recorded for the assignment.
