PADM 6666 - Strategic Planning for Public and Nonprofit Organizations


This course will give students the skills to create, develop, and implement a strategic plan for a public or nonprofit organization. We will discuss all the steps in the process as well and the potential problems that a planner must anticipate. All public and nonprofit organizations should strive to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible in order to survive. Strategic planning is essential to that purpose. Planning is the only way to ensure efficient service and operation. This course examines the theory and practice of strategic planning and management for governments, public agencies, nonprofit organizations and, to a lesser extent, communities.
3 credit hours.
