Part -A:

For the provided case study (Case study 1) information, following on from your analysis of the organisation, and competitors and allies, you need to:

1. Formulate strategic objectives for the organisation (based on the Board minutes).

2. For each objective, develop and describe strategies that you think could be used to meet the objective in the future.

3. For the strategies described, you need to:

a. develop a prioritised list of strategies

b. describe a timeframe for each to be completed

c. assign responsible parties to each strategy

d. assign measurable performance indicators to individual strategies.

When you have completed your draft strategic plan, you need to make an appointment to meet with the CEO of your organisation (your assessor) to discuss your plan. They will gain endorsement from the Board for the plan and return it to you with any required amendments.

After you have received the endorsed plan from the Board, you need to:

1. Develop briefing materials (dot-point descriptors) for the identified responsible parties, outlining the requirements of their role in achieving the relevant strategy.

2. Develop a cover statement/letter to be sent out with the strategic plan that includes:

a. a brief overview of key objectives

b. a description of the research and process used to develop the plan.

Part B - Reviewing implementation

In this part, you are required to review the implementation of a strategic plan within an organisation, and develop a report evaluating the

implementation.

As part of your review, you need to develop a report describing the implementation as measured by the achievement of KPIs, milestones and overall effectiveness. You also need to identify and describe any refinements or improvements that can be made to the implementation process.

Procedure

For the case study (Case study 2) information provided, you need to develop a progress report with information provided under the following headings:

1. KPI progress: Review and describe the progress of the strategic plan, according to each of the identified performance indicators.

2. Milestone progress: Evaluate the achievement of identified objectives against the established timeline milestones for the strategic plan.

3. Overall progress. Evaluate and describe the overall effectiveness and progress of the strategic plan.

4. Improvements: Make necessary refinements to ensure continued achievement of the plan; describe methods for improving strategic planning processes.
