MSN-FP6210 Leadership and Management for Nurse Executives Homework: Strategic Planning- Capella University
Develop a 5 to 10 years strategic plan for achieving specific health care quality and safety improvements, based on the analysis you completed in Homework 1. Use either an AI approach or your SWOT analysis and a chosen strategic planning model.
Evaluation of strategic choices is important. The methods for selecting strategic alternatives help leaders organize significant issues to support decision making. However, it is important that the techniques do not make the decision. Rather, leaders should use the techniques to reveal the inherent situation and to organize their thought processes. This homework provides you with an opportunity to evaluate and apply some of the techniques for successful strategy development and implementation.

Instructions
Note: You will use your care setting environmental analysis as the basis for developing your strategic plan in this homework.
Preparation
The feedback you received on your care setting environmental analysis has been positive. Consequently, you have been asked to select one of the potential improvement projects you noted in your analysis and create a full, 5 to 10 years strategic plan to achieve the desired quality and safety improvement outcomes. You will develop your strategic plan, using either an AI approach (addressing the design stage), or by building on your SWOT analysis and applying a strategic planning model of your choice.
How you structure your plan should be based on whether you are taking an appreciative inquiry approach or using a specific strategic planning model. Regardless of the approach you choose, the requester of the plan has asked that you address the key points outlined below in the strategic plan requirements. In addition, your plan should be 5 to 8 pages in length.
Note: Remember, you can submit all, or a portion, of your draft plan to Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version for this homework. However, be mindful of the turnaround time for receiving feedback, if you plan on using this free service.
