Introduction
Worthington Industries Inc. is a “global, diversified, metals manufacturing company” (Worthington Industries, Inc., 2016). The business plans to continue growth by implementing more manufacturing plants in different geographic locations. To do this, the business must strategically plan the implementation of the new plants in order to maintain quality while offering affordability to existing and new customers. As part of the implementation plan the objectives, functional tactics, action items, milestones, task ownership, and resource allocation will be discussed. There will be a need in changing management strategies to enhance successful outcome of the new communities. Some key success factors to ensure success is budget and forecasted financials. If indeed the environment factors such as economic hardships arise a contingency plan will be in place.
Implementation Plan
An implementation plan consist of a broad list of items, such as incidentals, goals, organizational issues and agendas required to complete a company’s key objectives. This type of plan demands a large amount of planning and examining before it can be implemented. However, when developing an implementation plan business do not have to “re-invent the wheel when creating a business plan” (Ashe-Edmunds, 2016).
This helps DRAKEN management and everyone within the company to have a sense of urgency about what needs to be done.
The organization strategic plan consists of addressing clinical quality, growth, and becoming a larger part of the community, and providing long term value. The annual report states the following strategic goals (Bon Secours, 2012):
"Total Quality Management (TQM) is a participative management style that stresses total staff commitment to "customer" satisfaction (Eskimo, 2001)." Quicken Loans utilizes TQM along with the other management styles to provide the high quality of service to their clients. Quicken Loans expresses Total Quality Management in their ISMs. The ISMs Are: Obsessed with finding a better way, Responding with a sense of urgency is the ante to play and Every client. Every time. No exceptions. No excuses (Quicken Loans, 2008). These three ISMs express the care of their clients and illustrate the things that need to be done to ensure that TQM is still effective and efficient within the organization. Quicken Loans focuses on creating a lifelong relationship with
Although Riordan Manufacturing has a generic strategic direction, a comprehensive strategic plan reevaluation and development must occur after the move to China. Environmental scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, evaluation, and control are fundamental to the creation of a strategic plan (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010). Because, strategic planning is integral to the corporate strategy and success of Riordan the board of directors' requesting Team B formulate a comprehensive strategic plan for their organization.
Implementation planning: is the first important step of your project decisions have been made or not. Discuss and identify the information from the old system to planning is needed in the implementation of the
An implementation plan is the management guide that helps design the necessary steps while starting a project (United States Department of Health & Human Services, n.d.). The steps of an efficient implementation plan comprise of planning the course of action, engaging the stakeholders, carrying out the implementation as per the plan and evaluating the implementation process (Spring, Ferguson, Pender, & Starin, n.d.). So, to implement my evidence-based project plan, I will follow these steps.
SSM Cardinal Glennon is a pediatric hosptials beds that contains 190 beds. The organization is a not-for-profit facility located in St. Louis, Missouri. The hospital treats patients within the community, across the U.S. and countries around the world. The organization serves as a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center and Level III Neonatal Intensive Care unit, which both are highest possible classifications. The purpose of this paper is to develop a strategic plan that will implementation, strategic controls and contingency plans.
When considering an implementation plan, consultants are the face of the company. When a project is being implemented, consultants are the individuals who represent the company who is hired to do the implementation. So their role is crucial. When undergoing an implementation plan, they are accountable for administering each of the phases of the implementation so that the necessary activities take place as scheduled and at the anticipated level of quality with effective involvement of all those individuals taking part in the implementation. The consultants are also responsible for creating a detailed work plan for the implementation. This plan must include appropriate tasks and these tasks must be allocated to the right individuals. Consultants will also add value to the project, they bring their prior experiences and knowledge about implementations. During implementation, since they know what will work and what wont, they eliminate the trial and error method of implementation and help in saving time and
The objective of this study was to develop a strategic contingency planning model to be used to fully incorporate emergency management and business continuity into organization structures. (For the purpose of this study, Emergency Management and Business Continuity were collectively referred to as “contingency planning.”) Presently, contingency planning is mainly done on an operational or tactical level. Current thinking suggests that contingency planning should be an active part of organizations’ overall strategic planning processes as well. Organizations will ultimately be better prepared for future disasters and crises.
Ingalls Shipbuilding does not have a strong stable future if current projections and no strategies are developed for the near future. According to the US Navy, over the next five years 10 units are in the budget for Ingalls’ market share and Bath Iron Works will certainly fabricate a portion of those products (“Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plan,” 2014). Therefore, a strong strategy is required and implementation of the strategy is the only hope for Ingalls Shipbuilding to remain in business for another 75 years. Below is an implementation plan to be executed within the next year. The execution team is diverse
The implementation plan indicates modifications made from the original plan, to add local business owners. This modification will give a new outlook from local business owners and benefit the community. For example, the local business owners can anticipate damages from disaster and offer insight on the impacts during pre-disaster planning.
The implementation process is a crucial part to piloting a different hospital process, therefore, a well-planned and thought out implementation plan is imperative to the project success (Draft, 2004). It is essential the implementation plan utilizes a project management process, including project initiation, planning and execution phases (Chow, Woodford & Lambe, 2013) (Appendix G).
Planning of Implementation of proposed work This plan is the basis for the execution and tracking
To stay competitive in today’s markets, it is important for companies to determine objectives and develop a plan so as to achieve financial goals. Effective planning is an essential element if a company is to successfully employ change management and implement new processes and procedures that will adjust organization functions and operational assignments in order to meet the desired outcomes. Different methodologies for planning exist to meet the specific needs within organizations. The most common planning approaches include strategic, tactical, operational, and contingency plans (Hartzell). Even though all of these strategies are extremely useful at different echelons within any one business, the goal setting capabilities of strategic and tactical planning within organizations have the highest degree of criticality and set the guidelines for subordinate operational and contingency plans.
c. Contingency management (CM) is a treatment that uses a systematic method of changing behavior by modifying through consequences. It maintains that behavior has a type of repetitiveness and can be altered by using a system of negative and positive reinforcement. These negative and positive types of consequences, if administered consistently, can result in behaviorally changes. CM is structured around four core principles; routine drug testing is arranged by the clinician to detect if clients been using specific substance regularly, if abstinence is proven the clinician implements positive reinforcement, which is accepted by the client and clinician, if a positive for drugs is disclosed the clinician denies the clients reward that was agreed upon, a negative test rewards the client with what was agreed upon. CM is an approach that is best focused on a targeted behavior such as; substance abstinence, treatment plan adherence, consistency with medication, continuous individual and group presence, and completion of specific goals. There is an assortment of reinforcement techniques that are available to use with CM like; currency, rewards, tokens, concessions, and other prizes. I would use the CM method when a client that denies that he is consuming any alcohol but shows signs of the substance abuse. This would be a good method for those who do better when they receive a reward that would more likely motivate them to accept change. Keeping the client occupied and on a “roll”
