No unread replies.No replies.

All planning whether strategic or operational has three distinct attributes no matter where or when it occurs.   Planning is futuristic, involves decision making and is dynamic/continuous. 

• Planning is futuristic
  • Anticipates what will be required of HSOs/HSs and their component parts in the future
• Planning involves decision-making
  • Determining what is to be done and when, where, how, and for what purposes requires that alternatives be evaluated, decisions made, and resources allocated
• Planning is dynamic and continuous
  • Planned organizational activities are affected by future events
  • They are also affected by internal and external environmental forces

For this discussion, briefly explain how each of the three attributes were actualized as a planning activity using examples from your own work or volunteer experiences.  The examples you use need not necessarily be connected to a health care organization.
