Directional Strategy Report
Create a 4 page directional strategy report, as if you were preparing to present your assessment to a representative panel of employee stakeholders of a health care organization. Analyze the relevance of the organization's directional strategy, including its vision, mission, values, and organizational culture.
The goal is to focus upon application of the concepts and new insight. Keep it brief and substantive. Note: Feel free to construct images/diagrams to summarize information where appropriate (for example, TOWS matrix...). Complete the following:
Review the mission, vision, and values statements of your health care organization.
Examine how well each statement addresses the components of a directional strategy.
Analyze the gap between the desired outcome and the actual state of the current environment.
Analyze the organization's directional strategy, including its vision, mission, and values.
Examine the strategic "fit." Does the directional strategy fit the environment? Is the organization headed in the right direction given the environmental assessment? Does growth make sense right now or does maintaining the status quo or even contraction make better sense?
Recommend changes you would make to ensure a foundation necessary for the current structure and strategies of the organization.
