Activity Context

This discussion helps you to develop the skills to mater the following course competencies:

•Create a comprehensive organizational strategy assessment.

Activity Instructions

This discussion will help you further your knowledge of strategic development by:
•Analyzing strategic issues.
•Formulating and proposing strategic changes for the project firm.

“It is usual to think of structures, cultures, and systems following strategy . . .” (Jordon & Grant, p. 447). These three strategic elements (structures, systems, and culture) are the most stable parameters of an organizational design and those that are malleable in crafting a strategic change.

For this discussion, consider changing one or more of these elements for a critical strategic issue you have identified for your project firm. Then, craft a strategic recommendation that your project firm could realize in no more than six months.
