It is becoming increasingly important for organizations to demonstrate that they are of significant public value. This requires them to have clearly defined short-term and long-term strategic goals. As a current or future leader and manager, it is essential that you are not only able to help your organization develop these goals, but you must also help create strategies for meeting them. In this Discussion, you consider strategies for prioritizing and meeting short-term and long-term goals for the organization that you selected for your Final Project.

Due by Wednesday  9pm New York Time an explanation of strategies that you might use to define, prioritize, and meet short-term goals (1–4 years) for the organization that you selected for your Final Project. Include how the goals would support flexibility in an ever-evolving world. Then with a futurist context in mind, explain strategies that you might use to define, prioritize, and meet your organization’s long-term goals (15–20 years).

THE ASSIGNMENT
