In this assessment, you will step into the role of a business manager tasked with evaluating the success of a strategic plan or improvement initiative within an organization. You will develop a presentation to communicate the results to employees and stakeholders.
Assessment Preparation
Select an organization as the subject of your assessment. You may choose the organization you work for, one you are familiar with, or a publicly traded company that has the type of information you need made readily available.
Research the organization’s strategic plan. You may find this information on a company website, by asking a manager, from a human resources representative, and from the Get Started with Company Research page from the University Library.

Summarize the organization and the plan, and then explain the plan’s importance to organizational success.
