Developing a Strategic Plan

• Consider the information on strategic planning presented by Dr. Huston in this week’s media program, as well as in the other Learning Resources.
• Reflect on the unmet need you identified in this week’s Discussion, and consider any feedback you have received to your posting from your Instructor and colleagues. If appropriate, refine your focus to clarify the unmet need.
• In addition to the steps you took in preparation for the Discussion, proceed as follows:
• Investigate the background related to this unmet need. What conditions have contributed to this situation? Is there data (beyond what you identified for the Discussion) that should be examined?
• Conduct research to assess what has been attempted in the past, by various individuals or organizations, to address this unmet need.
• Think about any broader issues that should be examined to better understand this unmet need. For instance, consider economic, political, and/or social considerations.
