Individual Project

Assume that you have been hired as a consultant for a skilled nursing facility to help with its strategic planning process. The organization has never made a strategic plan, and many of the employees are resistant to take part in the process. They have hired you to help walk them through the process and guide them through each step. Before you can begin the process, you will need to plan out how you will guide them through it.

Identify and discuss how you will prepare the nursing facility’s staff to go through the strategic planning process.
For example, who will you involve, and what steps will they take, etc.?
In addition, what will you say to them to get them to understand the importance of the strategic planning process?

Construct a 3–5-year strategic plan that is related to a specified health care organization of your choice. The organization may be not-for-profit or for-profit. Complete a SWOT analysis, and include the following:
Internal strengths are related to resources and capabilities that effectively and efficiently allow an organization to accomplish its stated mission. Write out and discuss 8–10 strengths that you consider the highest priority for the organization of choice.
Internal weaknesses are related to deficiencies in resources and capabilities that hinder an organization’s ability to accomplish its mandate or mission. Write out and discuss 8–10 weaknesses that you consider the highest priority for the organization of choice.
External opportunities are outside factors or situations that can affect your organization in a favorable way. Write out and discuss 8–10 opportunities that you consider of highest priority for the organization of choice.
External threats are outside factors or situations that can affect your organization in a negative way. Write out and discuss 8–10 threats that you consider of highest priority for the organization of choice.
