ASSIGNMENT 1: A Glimpse into Strategic Planning at Johns Hopkins Medicine
Assignment 1 Overview
The final document that composes a strategic plan for a healthcare organization has had significant input from a wide range of stakeholders. Yet it is essential that workers at all levels of responsibility in the healthcare industry can use written content to guide their actions in their workplaces.
Assignment 1 allows students to produce their evaluation of how well a leader in the field did in communicating a direction for its stakeholders to follow. At the same time, Chapter 3 provides students with a grounding in business strategic theories and language.
