Theory of Change and Program Portfolio According to the theory of change, for any change to take place, there should be a comprehensive description and illustration as to the way and reason the change would be the thing that is expected in that specific context. The entire theory focused on the specific gap that described as lacking for a program to work. All the goals are set, and the condition necessary is also explained.

...Sample Outline for a Strategic Communication Action Plan The following is an example of an outline for a strategic communication action plan for XXXX County Schools based on the recommendations from an NSPRA Communication Audit Report. The suggested goals were taken from the guiding principles, objectives and action steps detailed in the recommendations in the report. The plan also indicates which of the district’s strategic directions (or goals) the communication goals most directly relate to. Please note that this is an outline and not a complete plan, as there are sections that Communications Office staff and administrators need to address, such as budget, timelines, responsible parties and evaluation measures. Ongoing communication and public relations activities should also be added. While this represents a substantial start on developing a comprehensive communication plan, it requires the input and direct involvement of XXXX County Schools staff and patrons in order to prepare a final plan. Strategic Direction: Highest Student Achievement Suggested Goal: Position XXXX County Schools as “the district of choice” for quality teaching, learning and student achievement.

...very bright one, so long as we keep heading in the direction we are going. In order to do this, we must plan for changes in technology, and implement new ideas, updates, products to keep our company ahead of the curve and up-to-date on new trends. Situational analysis, step one, involves analyzing our current situation as well as past trends, helping us to decide what to do to improve our future business. For instance, in the ever-changing world, people are looking for speed, optimal service and products, and convenience. The next step in the planning process is to develop and analyze possible goals and plans, such as coming out with a new, advanced phone. When analyzing our goals we need to keep the SMART process in mind. This involves five different points to think about when analyzing our options. First is specific; goals that are precise, with particular favorable outcomes. M, or measurable, means the goal should “quantify the desired results”. This way, there is not a doubt as to whether the goal has been attained. Attainable, yet still challenging, goals should be set, giving employees the confidence to believe that they can make it happen, yet still challenge them to be creative and work hard to do so. R is relevant; goals considered should have an impact on the company’s overall operation, while still sticking to its core values. Lastly, T, is for time-bound. A good plan or goal should specify a set date of completion. It is always good to have a schedule in place, so as...

A 2009 article in Bizjournals predicts Raleigh will be the fastest-growing metro area through 2025. Continued growth requires continued concerns for the infrastructure to handle the growth.

...Strategic Plan Critique Kern County Children and Families Commission Healthcare 634 - Strategic Plan Critique The Kern County Children and Families Commission (KCCFC) is one of many organizations created in response to the passage of Proposition 10 (The California Children and Families Act) in 1999. This proposition provides funding for efforts to provide all children, prenatal to five years, with a comprehensive system of early childhood developmental services. KCCFC created an initial strategic plan in 1999-2000, and has updated the plan twice on an annual basis. This critique reviews the second update which is dated September 4, 2002. The Executive Director and the board members were involved, along with representatives from the communities and the service providers. Community meetings were held to gather more input, and surveys were also given to service providers. A strategic planning workshop was held involving 65 people to develop a list of “issues, program areas, and objectives.” Vision and Mission Statements Strategic intent is defined as a “Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal” (Collins and Porras, 1996) that goes beyond the scope of a strategic plan for the next few years to a long-term goal that may take decades to reach. For KCCFC, the strategic intent is summed up in its vision statement: “[that] all Kern County children are born and thrive in supportive, safe, and loving homes and neighborhoods. They enter school...
