For this section you should summarize the current plan and provide a gap-analysis of the plan based upon what you have learned this semester. You should integrate the course materials into this section similar to how you did for the strategic plan reviews. Be sure you look at the grading rubric and be certain to touch on the elements for this section.

Part 2 – A new strategic plan

For this section you will create a new strategic plan for your organization being sure that you incorporate all of the elements of a strategic plan that we have discussed this semester. As you will see in the example, this section should look like the strategic plans you have been reviewing look like. Assume that you are the head of that organization and you are writing the plan. I cannot stress this enough but this must be 100% your own work. I check these against the original plans.

With that being said, as long as you touch all the points in the project description and the grading rubric you will do fine on the project. I am available for questions as always and the MPP questions conference is open and active. I know that this is a daunting task however if you break it down into sections and pace yourself you will succeed. Treat this as you would a final examination, that is you should spend a considerable amount of time working on it.

Attached is what the final paper should look like please make sure it is in your own words and thought when doing the 15 page new strategic plan. Any illustration, graphs must be your own. Please if you have any question let me know.
