Part 1
Students should provide the instructor with an annotated bibliography for four to five scholarly resources that will be used in support of the Portfolio Project in Module 8. In this instance, instead of submitting a paper, each reference can be a bulleted slide for each reference (the annotation for each reference should be found within the speaker notes or on the slides themselves). Each source referenced should be accompanied by a brief (approximately 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph clarifying why the reference is included in the student’s research. The annotation should inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
Part 2
PowerPoint: Phases of Strategic Analysis, Research, and Implementation
Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the application of phases of organizational strategic analysis, research, and implementation. This milestone will provide perspective concerning how integration and application of these phases inform their approach to the Portfolio Project case study which will be due in Module 8.
As you have been conducting/working on your capstone project, you have used analytical tools, conducted research, and analyzed possible barriers towards implementation of your proposed plan. Your goal is to explain how you have applied/intend to apply these concepts to build your capstone project.
Submit a 3-4 slide PowerPoint presentation that demonstrates an understanding of the various phases of organizational strategic analysis, research, and implementation. The slides should provide perspective concerning how these phases inform their approach to the Portfolio Project case study which will be due in Module 8.
At least three of the sources cited in your annotated bibliography should be included in this submission to show evidence of research being applied in the final project (new references might also be used as well).
The presentation should be well-written and meet the following requirements:
Include at least three current references from peer-reviewed articles. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find peer-reviewed articles.
Part 3
Stand-Alone Hospital or Another Healthcare Organization
For this project, you are to evaluate an existing strategic initiative, or program (e.g., addition of a hospital wing, opening of a new location, closing of an existing branch) for an actual/real stand-alone hospital or other independent healthcare organization (you may select a hospital, large medical group, nursing home, or an ambulatory care facility) within your community.
For the purpose of the assignment, assume that you are the Director of Strategic Planning for this organization, and the CEO has assigned you the responsibility for assessing (1) where the program is in its life cycle and (2) making an informed decision as to the best way forward strategically; i.e., should the organization expand the program, continue the current strategy it employs, change certain aspects of operational strategy, fully maintain the program as is, merge the program with an existing one, or close the program? The summary of your assessment will be presented to the Board of Directors, CEO, COO, and CFO.
Write a paper that proposes the process you would implement for assessing this project.
The paper should include the following:
The paper should be:
