Overview

To prepare:

• Review the Learning Resources.
• Reflect on your HSO’s mission, vision, and values. Consider the ways your analyses provide strong or weak evidence of your HSO’s adherence to its stated mission.
• Think about your HSO’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as how this commitment could manifest within an organizational strategy.
• Consider how various organizational strategies could help or hinder your HSO’s efforts to facilitate positive social change in the community.
• Review each of the Assignments you completed, in this course, in previous modules. Pay close attention to the feedback your Instructor provided, and then edit your analyses as needed. Your goal is to synthesize all your work into a series of analyses that convey clear messages and provide evidence for specific strategic recommendations.
