Establishing Metrics. Your text explains why it is important to select the appropriate criteria for strategic planning. Part of this process is establishing metrics to measure the progressive success of the strategic plan. Choose and discuss two metrics that an organization might consider when developing a strategic plan? What are some considerations or criteria that leaders utilize when developing a strategic plan? How might this process work in your current organization or a previous organization? Respond to at least two of your classmates' posts by Day 3. You must create one initial post and at least two responses, for a minimum of three posts for this discussion.
