In this step, you will complete a needs assessment for the business or organization you have selected and profiled.

Your needs assessment must include data collection measures and outcomes for the following four stages:

  • Stage 1: What are the business/organization needs?
    • Measure: (What measure is used?)
    • Outcome: (What is the forecasted ROI?)
  • Stage 2: What are the performance needs?
    • Measure: (What measure is used?)
    • Outcome: (What are the knowledge and skills needed for success in the business/organization? To what degree are they currently being met?)
  • Stage 3: What are the learning needs?
    • Measure: (What measure is used?)
    • Outcome: (What knowledge and skills need to be improved through instruction?)
  • Stage 4: What are the learner needs?
    • Measure: (What measure is used?)
    • Outcome: (For example: Who are the learners? How many are there? Is the group multi-generational? What is the cultural make-up? Are they traditional or nontraditional learners?)

Continue using the template that you began in Module 2 to organize your findings. Your final product should be well written and conform with the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Use at least two to three sources to support your observations and analysis. The CSU Global Library is a great place to find these sources. Submit your completed template for grading.

Why do organizations need to develop strategic plans? (Discussion 9)

In order to understand the importance of a need of a thing, it is first important to know what that thing is. A strategic plan can be defined as an organizations game plan (David & David, 2017). When I envision a strategic plan, I think of football and basketball teams. Coaches develop different plays to utilize to assist the team in bringing home the win. So, it is with strategic planning. Strategic planning derived in the 1950’s and have emerged over the years. Strategic planning assist organizations to not only plan for now, but also optimizing opportunities for the future. It is imperative that leaders understand the significance of strategic planning.

Benjamin Franklin once stated, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail (Hall, 2019). This statement alone speaks volume as I can personally relate. No one was prepared for COVID-19. There are plans in place in the event a natural disaster occurs, an attack occurs, etc. However, when the pandemic hit, there was no plan. Although this pandemic may be one of the biggest pandemics, with more than expected or wanted fatalities. However, envision if there was a plan developed that would have decreased the number of cases as well as the number of deaths surrounding the COVID-19.

Organizations are constantly competing with one another. Therefore, it is vital for leaders to ensure that their strategic plan is effectively developed. Part of developing a strategic plan is first envisioning where the owner/leader desires for the organization to be. Based on where the organization is going, the vision, mission, assessing internal abilities and external threats and opportunities, assessing strategies, and prioritizing those strategies can assist in the formulation of a strategy, within the organization (David & David, 2017). Goals and objectives are also established within the organization. Another element essential to having an effective strategic plan is developing policies and procedures. Policies and procedures can assist organizations with maintaining order within as well as the do’s and don’ts within the organization. Some policies can include, safety, risk, trainings, health concerns, leave, etc. It is imperative to recognize that each component of the strategic plan is vital to the success of the organization. Therefore, it is vital for organizations to develop a strategic plan, to be prepared for adversity, even before it arises.

        Discussion 9

Topic: Why do organizations need to develop strategic plans?

             The development of an effective strategy can assist a company in ensuring long-term profits and the maximum growth of the company. However, in order to secure this success a strategic plan must be developed and implemented. According to Bryson and Alston (2011), strategic planning is defined as a set of concepts, procedures, tools, and practices designed to help an organization’s (collaboration’s or community’s) leaders, managers, planners, staff, and other stakeholders to think, act, and learn strategically. Strategic planning assists business owners and leaders in knowing what to do to alleviate a problem and how to do it. This process is a direct guide that aids businesses in traveling from where they currently are to where they want to be. Bryson and Alston (2011) highlights six benefits of utilizing strategic planning. The first benefit is that strategic planning can be used to help organize and manage effective organizational processes. The second benefit is that strategic planning assist with improved decision making. The third benefit is that strategic planning enhances the organizations effectiveness, responsiveness, and resilience. The fourth benefit is that strategic planning enhances the legitimacy of the organization. The fifth benefit is that strategic planning enhances the effectiveness of broader societal systems. The last benefit is that strategic planning can directly benefit the people involved. These benefits demonstrate the vitality of employing strategic planning.

            In Martin Reeve’s video (2014), “Your strategy needs a strategy”, he mentions that one approach to strategy doesn’t fit all. He furthers that the approach to strategy has to match the issue. For example, I work for a very large mental health agency and this agency has been around for a very long time. As one can imagine, things in health care are constantly changing. Consequently, the company has to stay on top of those changes and the issues that arise because of those changes. The changes that occur in health care effects the business, their consumers, their employees and so on. Therefore, it’s impossible to implement only one strategy and then apply it to each issue that arises within the company. As a result, the company is constantly developing plans to assist with problems as they arise within the business.

THE FOUNDATION OF HEALTH CARE LAW AND ETHICS IN THE UNITED STATES- SLP

It has been established that the Right to Health Care is not a guaranteed right in American law. Despite this, there have been many legal enactments that have incrementally moved in that direction without expressly granting it. After reviewing the background readings as well as doing your own research, draft a 1- to 2-page (single-spaced) position statement on whether the right to health care should be guaranteed in the United States. Be sure to include some discussion of ethics behind your position, including a discussion of ethical principles. You will not be graded on which side you choose, but you must support your position with reputable and reliable sources; this is not an opinion piece.
