Strategic Plan Overview Cultural Appreciation Section Only-determine whether or not the goals and objectives are met. You can strengthen them by including quantitative expectations with them, such as “80% attendance at the revised orientation session.”

The first is that you need to clearly define the challenge. The challenges you identify should be related to the focus area. For example, if you are focusing on change and organizational politics goals on reducing turnover or training would not be appropriate for this focus area as they would be more relevant to Talent Management. We are looking for a clear definition of the challenges your identified organization is facing in this area. These challenges should remain the same for all three years.

Goals should be a BROAD one sentence statement of what you want to do in order to address the challenge. The goal may not be completely addressed until the end of the three-year period. This is why it is important that is broad. Please ensure this is a one complete sentence.

You should have no more than three objectives each year that are designed to take your a step closer to achieving the goal. Remember objective should be specific and measurable but keep in mind they should not be so prescriptive that managers enacting the plan do not have freedom to determine additional steps they would take to ensure objectives are met.

Avoid the tendency to write a metric in an objective format. If you are doing this, you should revisit your objectives. They may not be capturing what you would like to achieve. Metrics are a simple statement of the artifact, document, report, etc that you are using to determine whether or not the goals and objectives are met. You can strengthen them by including quantitative expectations with them, such as “80% attendance at the revised orientation session.”

Finally, you should post work you would like feedback on in your group discussion board. Your professor visits this area throughout the week and can let you know whether or not you are on the right track. Do not assume he or she is reviewing everything you post, ask for the help when you would like it. Please use the template to complete the Cultural Appreciation section ONLY.
