Strategic Planning: Action Plan In All

Strategic Planning: Action Plan Strategic Action Plan In all organizations

In all organizations, change keeps on taking place and being a necessity, and thus new strategies through which the change that is desired can be established are required. Without these strategic action plans, it would be extremely difficult to implement the change in the organization, or in case the change is implemented, there is a high possibility that it would not be as effective as the organizational decision makers intended. This paper presents a formulation of a functional level strategy for business functions at the primary level, from an action plan. The strategic goal of the organization is enabling patients with discharge orders within the organization to discharge, within a certain time frame.

Management Tactics and Strategies For the organization to manage meeting the organizational strategic goal, the first strategy should be seeking to obtain an understanding of the reasons why the individuals within the hospital who have been issued with discharge orders have not yet been discharged. This task should be allocated to the physicians who had been handling their cases. Discharging these individuals is highly important for both the organization and them, mainly because after they have been discharged, the hospital will have more space for other individuals, and at the same time, the individuals will have their hospital expenses reduced, compared to cases where they took much longer before discharge.

The other tactic is the activity by the management of offering to provide recognition to all physicians who will manage to discharge the patients within the provided time limit (Olsen, 2013). Managerial Decision-Making Methods Managerial decisions are the decisions that the organization’s management is required to make, which determines the operations that the organization involves in, and at the same time the means through which it will manage to attain its goals and targets. Throughout this action plan, managerial decisions will be made through the process of obtaining the organizational data and analyzing it, thus when they are made, numerous considerations will have been made, and they will be informed decisions.

An example is a decision of acknowledging all the doctors who successfully manage to complete the task of discharging all the patients that have a discharge order within the specified time limit. The purpose of this decision is to motivate the doctors and thus in case the organization obtains information that the doctors work much better when they are motivated, then the organization could invent more means through which the motivation of the doctors could be motivated throughout. Business Functions My action plan will impact certain business plan. The activities that the doctors involve in, to begin with will be distracted since the doctors will have additional duties, and thus instead of maintaining their focus on addressing the issues concerning the patients, they will need to spend more time in addressing the cases of the individuals within the hospital that have already been issued with a discharge order.

The success of this plan will only take place if the doctors manage to successfully solve the issues of the individuals that have not been discharged without having to disrupt their other activities. Within the organization. For this reason, therefore, I will communicate with each one of them expressing that they should find their own time to address these matters and thus all of them should carry out their expected duties as usual. Leadership Strategies There are many strategies that I intend to utilize in this plan, to ensure its success. The first strategy is providing the doctors with the freedom to use their means and tactics to involve in the issue. Through this strategy, the doctors are likely to feel responsible and thus taking the issue as their responsibility. This will also act as a source of motivation and thus they are likely to manage to attain the target of this plan. The next strategy of leadership that I intend to utilize is the use of my leadership power to ensure that all the stakeholders involved in the plan carry out the roles and responsibilities that the plan requires them for it to succeed (Simerson, 2011).
