These provide models for the development and format of your final plan.
Use the content developed in Assessments 1 through 4 and the information gathered from Worksheet 5 to prepare a strategic management report.
Essential elements of the report include:
- Develop clear, measurable objectives, and initiatives to meet the objectives for the organization.
- Analyze strategies and methods for meeting objectives and measuring success.
- Identify the strategies and methods.
- Explain how the strategies and methods are appropriate for the objectives.
- Identify barriers and constraints to the objectives.
- Explain the methods you will use to address the barriers and constraints.

Format your assessment as a report and be sure it is organized logically, using headings and sub-headings appropriately. Follow APA guidelines for in-text citations and references.
This is your strategy formation. It is the last section or chapter of your strategic plan.
How to use the content developed in Assessments 1–4:
In Assessments 1–4, you gathered information and developed insights that define your organization. Use this content in two ways:
- Base your objectives, strategies, methods and recommendations on your findings. The material from these assessments is your background data.
- Revise the submitted assessments to become summary statements for inclusion in the plan as appropriate.
Do not copy and paste the entire assignment from an assessment into the strategic plan. Remember your audience is the Board of Directors and other organizational leaders. They are not expecting to read the details of your background process.

- Cover page.
- Table of Contents.
- Plan Overview.
- External Environment Review.
- Internal Environmental Analysis.
- Organizational Direction.
- Strategy Formation.
- Reference page.
