Organizational Culture & Structure in Strategic Planning

First Part

–          Choose an existing health care organization that you can use as the basis for your analysis and business plan. When selecting the organization, ensure that it meets the following criteria:

·         Organization may be for profit, non-profit, or community based.

·         Information about the organization, including financial data, should be publicly available to ensure you can complete the required organizational analysis.

·         Be sure that you have selected an organization, not a system. For example, Banner Health is a system not an organization, while Banner Desert Medical Center is an organization.

Second Part is Business Memo
Imagine you have been asked to communicate your findings about the organization to stakeholders. In a business memo to stakeholders (500-750 words), address the following:

1.      Describe the organizational culture.

2.      Discuss the implications of the culture on strategic planning.

3.      Explain the difference between operating activities and strategic initiatives.

4.      Communicate where the value is in the organization based on the structure.

5.      Identify areas of opportunity and explain where process changes would be seen or come from.

6.      Identify potential barriers to strategic planning and explain actions that could be taken to overcome the barriers.
