Week3Discussion: Developing a Philosophy,
Goals, and ObjectivesAs addressed in this
week’s Learning Resources, an organization’s philosophy statement derives from
its mission and indicates the values and beliefs that steer decision making. An
organization’s philosophy statement should be used to develop goals and
objectives that lead to assured action.As effective
organizations recognize, “setting specific goals in a clear and compelling
way—and insisting that people work together to achieve them—is the best way to
get results” (Ashkenas, 2012, para. 9).This Discussion builds on
the Week 2 Discussion 2, as you create a philosophy statement, goals, and
objectives for Mountain View Health Center, the organization featured in the
case study introduced last week.You will continue to work
within the same small group. Note: You will develop an individual philosophy
statement, goals, and objectives independently. Through the collegial exchange
that follows, you will offer each other suggestions for refinement.To prepare:·Review
information on philosophy statements, goals, and objectives in Chapter 7 of the
Marquis and Huston text and in the other Learning Resources.·Review
the Mountain View Health Center case study presented in this week’s media, and
reflect on the mission and vision statements you developed for Discussion 2 in
Week 2.·Conduct
additional research as necessary to strengthen your understanding of the
process for creating a philosophy statement and developing goals and objectives
and to deepen your thinking about the organization. For instance, you may
research organizations with similarities to Mountain View and examine their
philosophy statements, goals, and objectives.·Draft a
philosophy statement for Mountain View Health Center.·Craft at
least one goal and at least one related objective to operationalize the
philosophy.·Consider
what you have learned about the importance of the philosophy statement and the
process of developing one, as well as the significance of and distinctions
between goals and objectives.By Day 3Post a
philosophy statement for Mountain View Health Center, at least one goal, and at
least one related objective. Offer insights you have gained about the process
of developing a philosophy statement, as well as the significance of and
distinctions between organizational goals and objectives.Points to remember:·Are the
philosophy statements, goals, and objectives clearly written and easy to
understand?·How well
does the philosophy statement align with the mission and vision statements
posted in Discussion 2 of Week 2? Does it reflect accepted values of the
organization?·Are the
goals and objectives specific, measureable, attainable, relevant, and
time-bound?·How well do
the philosophy statements, goals, and objectives reflect the stakeholders?Learning Resources Note: To access this week’s required library resources, please click
