Discussion: MBA6271 Capella Strategic Management Plan For Healthcare Organisations

Preparation

You will follow the same structure as in previous assessments.

Complete A Balanced Scorecard for Change, which can be found in the Suggested Resources section of this assessment. You will not submit the PDF, but will instead use the information to create an executive summary and a PowerPoint presentation. You are not required to give the presentation. You will also need to provide references to at least 10 professional resources to back up the information you present in this assessment; you should already have at least 10 resources from previous assessments.

The Executive Summary should be no longer than 1-2 pages in length and should summarize the key points of your strategic management plan. It enables busy executives to quickly scan the highlights of a report or other document without having to read the entire document. The use of bullet points in the executive summary is strongly advised.

Your PowerPoint presentation should be created with the board of directors and other key stakeholders in mind, and it should outline a strategy for putting your strategic management plan into action.

In the real world, you’d usually have 15 minutes to present your PowerPoint presentation and answer questions. As a result, it is critical to convey your ideas as clearly and concisely as possible. There is no set number of slides for your presentation; however, if you end up with fewer than eight, you may not be addressing the implementation of your strategic plan adequately. If your presentation has more than 15 slides, you will most likely not be able to finish it in the allotted time. Be direct, clear, and concise, and make use of the notes feature to expand on the points on each slide of your presentation.

Assessment Prerequisites

Please complete and submit both sections of this assessment.

Executive Summary (Part 1)

Create a 1-2 page executive summary that includes:

Assess the importance of an effective planning process in the strategic management of a health care organization.
Explain the planning process and key roles in brief, and analyze previous planning strategies in terms of their successes and failures.
Analyze the health care organization’s mission, vision, core values, goals, and governance using strategic management principles.
Explain briefly the relationship between the organization’s mission, vision, core values, goals, and governance and the strategic planning process used.
Examine how internal and external environments affect the strategic planning process.
Explain briefly how internal and external factors influence the operational and financial aspects of strategic planning.
Recommend strategies to improve the health care organization’s operational and financial components.

Be sure you include a title page and reference page (for any resources cited in the summary) even though these would all typically be included in the longer report that you submitted for Assessment 5.

Please note: You must submit both parts of this assessment at the same time. If you submit Part 1 without also attaching Part 2, you will not be able to submit Part 2 later.

Part 2: PowerPoint Presentation

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation that explains the implementation of your strategic management plan. Include the following:

• Define the primary problem that is being addressed.
• Provide your ultimate recommendation to address the problem. This should be based on and supported by the analyses you conducted in previous assessments.
• Explain the resources needed to implement your recommendation.
  • Human resources.
  • IT resources.
  • Other resources.
• Explain the costs associated with implementing your recommendation. (Note: This does not require providing dollar estimates; this is only an explanation of the types of costs that would be associated with implementing your strategic plan.)
  • Will the plan require additional staff and training?
  • Will the plan require new or additional software or hardware and training?
• Analyze the benefits of implementing your plan in terms of:
  • Quality health care service delivery.
  • Quality of work environment for staff.
  • Addressing changes in the external environment over the next five years.
  • Addressing the needs of stakeholders.
• A conclusion that asks for stakeholder buy-in.

Keep your intended audience in mind as you prepare your presentation. Visual appeal should be considered, as should the items you include on each slide. Remember to use the speaker notes to expand your talking points and provide any references. You should be sure to include a title slide that accurately describes your presentation, as well as a reference slide for any resources cited.

Additional Requirements

For the executive summary:

• Length: 1–2 pages, not including title page and reference page.
• References: A minimum of three professional resources.
• Format: Use APA format for all in-text citations and references. Include a title page and reference page.

Part 2: PowerPoint Presentation

• Define the primary problem that is being addressed.

• Explain the resources needed to implement your recommendation.

Remember to use the speaker notes to expand your talking points and provide any references. You should be sure to include a title slide that accurately describes your presentation, as well as a reference slide for any resources cited.

For the executive summary:

• Length: 1–2 pages, not including title page and reference page.
• References: A minimum of three professional resources.
• Format: Use APA format for all in-text citations and references. Include a title page and reference page.
• Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

You must proofread your paper before submitting it. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell- and grammar-checkers; failing to do so demonstrates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer accordingly. Numerous misspelled words and grammatical errors will result in a penalty. Before submitting your paper, read it over — silently and then aloud – and make any necessary edits. Often, having a friend check your writing for obvious flaws is beneficial. Corrections made by hand are preferable to uncorrected errors.

Utilize a conventional typeface of 10 to 12 points (10 to 12 characters per inch). It’s difficult to read smaller or compressed type and sheets with small margins or single-spacing. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended page count than to attempt to condense it into fewer pages.

Similarly, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” a document to enhance its length are unacceptable, waste trees, and will not mislead your professor.

The paper must be formatted cleanly, double-spaced, and with a one-inch margin on all sides and top of each page. When submitting a physical copy, utilize white paper and dark ink. If your essay is difficult to read, it will also be difficult to follow your point.

ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONS

Questions for Discussion (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all aspects of the questions, incorporate at least one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words in length.
Successful comments are substantive (i.e., they contribute something new to the conversation, they engage others in the discussion, and they contain at least one scholarly source).
One- or two-sentence comments, simple affirmations of agreement or “excellent post,” and off-topic responses will not be considered substantive. Responses should be at least 150 words in length.
I invite you to incorporate the week’s readings into your comments (where applicable).
Weekly Involvement

The obligatory DQ’s initial responses do not count toward participation and are scored separately.
Along with the DQ responses, you must post at least one response to peers (or to me) on three distinct days, for a total of three responses.
No scholarly source/citation is required for participation posts (unless you cite another author’s work).
As part of your weekly involvement, you must see the weekly announcement and confirm your viewing in the comments section. These notifications are provided to ensure that you are aware of all of the tasks that are due during the week.
APA Style and Writing Prowess

Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice correctly applying it. It is used for the majority of writing assignments associated with your degree. For APA paper templates, citation examples, and recommendations, visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, accessible via the Resources option in LoudCloud. Points will be removed for ineffective use of the APA format or for the complete absence of the APA format (if required).
All sources of information must be cited! Cite the source whenever possible. Additionally, paraphrasing requires a citation.
I strongly advise you to use the sixth edition of the APA Publication Manual.
Utilization of Direct Quotes

At the Masters’ level, I discourage excessive use of direct quotes in DQs and assignments and deduct points accordingly.
It is crucial for you to be able to critically assess and comprehend information from journal articles and other sources as Masters’ level students. Simply restating another’s words does not demonstrate comprehension or critical analysis of the material.
It is preferable to paraphrase and cite your sources.
Policy LopesWrite

Please ensure that you have got your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE submitting your assignment to LopesWrite.
Please examine your report after you have got it. This report will highlight common grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. Spend a few more minutes reviewing rather than being penalized for these errors.
Examine your parallels. Did you overlook a citation? Were you unable to adequately paraphrase? Is the majority of your paper composed of someone else’s opinions rather than your own?
For advice on how to improve your paper and SI score, visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, accessible via the Resources option in LoudCloud.
Policy on Late Arrivals

The university’s late assignment policy is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also holds true for late DQ responses.
Kindly contact me if you anticipate submitting an assignment late. I am happy to accommodate special requests with enough notice. We may be able to arrange you an extension if extenuating circumstances exist.
If you do not contact me prior to submitting an assignment late, GCU’s late policy will apply.
I will not accept projects that are more than two weeks late unless an extension has been agreed upon.
Assignments are not accepted after the last day of class, per policy. Any assignment submitted after 12:00 a.m. on the final day of class will not be graded.
Communication

Communication is critical. There are several methods to contact me:
This is an excellent location to address questions about course content or assignments. If you have a question, it’s likely that one of your peers does as well. This is the class’s public forum.
This is a private forum where you may ask me questions or send me messages. At the very least, this will be checked once every 24 hours.
