you will develop a strategic plan for a new non-profit or existing government organization. As you finalize your Final Project, be sure to incorporate any feedback that you have received from your Instructor and your colleagues, as a well-developed strategic plan can help support an organization in achieving its goals.

o Develop and explain the organization's mission, values, and strategic initiatives.
o Identify organizational stakeholders and conduct a stakeholder analysis.
2. Analyzing Organizations
o Conduct a SWOT or Appreciative Inquiry (AI) analysis.
o Evaluate the organization from multiple sustainable perspectives, including financial considerations, positive community outcomes, and innovation.
3. Strategic Goals
o Develop 2-3 short-term goals (1-4 years) for the organization. Identify challenges that might impact these goals and explain how the organization might overcome them.
o Develop 2-3 long-term goals (15-20 years) for the organization. Identify long-term trends (i.e., social, political, demographic, economic, ecological, technological, etc.) that might impact these goals.
o Explain why it is important to define short-term and long-term goals. Identify resources that you might use to help you define your organizational goals.
