Strategic planning dis 7 due 3/12

 

It is becoming increasingly important for organizations to demonstrate that they are of significant public value. This requires them to have clearly defined short-term and long-term strategic goals. As a current or future leader and manager, it is essential that you are not only able to help your organization develop these goals, but you must also help create strategies for meeting them. In this Discussion, you consider strategies for prioritizing and meeting short-term and long-term goals for the organization that you selected for your Final Project.

Post an explanation of strategies that you might use to define, prioritize, and meet short-term goals (1–4 years) for the organization that you selected for your Final Project. Include how the goals would support flexibility in an ever-evolving world. Then with a futurist context in mind, explain strategies that you might use to define, prioritize, and meet your organization’s long-term goals (15–20 years).

                                                    Discussion Rubric

The purpose of the rubric is to provide guidance on writing and scoring initial postings and responses for Discussions.

There are four traits on which all posts and responses are evaluated: Responsiveness to Discussion Question, Content

Knowledge, Quality of Writing, and Contribution to the Discussion. The initial posting and the response will be assessed

separately using this rubric as a guide. At a minimum, the Instructor will provide feedback on traits receiving lower than

the maximum score. Students will want to consult the rubric before submitting a post or response to assure meeting the

post/response criteria for proficient (B) or exemplary (A) work. There are a maximum of 40 points for each Discussion.

A (Exemplary) = 40–36 points

B (Proficient) = 35–32 points

C (Progressing) = 31–28 points

D* (Emerging) = 27–24 points

F (Failing) = 23 or fewer points
