To prepare for this Assignment:

Select two strategic plans from those listed below or find your own example from credible sources or your own experience. If you work in a healthcare setting, you might ask for a copy of the strategic plan from your organization.

Consider how the processes and strategic plans for both organizations might be similar and different.

Write a 2- to 3-page paper to compare and evaluate the two Strategic pPlans you select. Address the following:

What are the key components of each Strategic Plan?
Who are the stakeholders who might have been most involved?
Compare the goals and strategies identified in each strategic plan.
What barriers are there to successful implementation of the strategic planning, and how could a healthcare manager overcome these barriers?
Put yourself in the role of a manager at one or both facilities. What are your responsibilities in ensuring one or both are successful?
