Although the strategic planning process can have numerous benefits for organizations, the process also has its limitations. As organizations determine the most effective methods to accomplish their goals and measure their growth and progress, they may experience setbacks or encounter new issues that cannot be solved with strategic planning. In this Discussion, you examine ethical, financial, and cultural benefits and limitations of organizational strategic planning. With the organization that you selected for your Final Project in mind: (CAMFED) Question (a) Write an explanation of ethical, financial, and cultural benefits and limitations of organizational strategic planning. Include how ever-changing stakeholders might impact the strategic plan. Provide additional insights or alternative perspectives. Reminder: Be sure to support your posting and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and/or current literature. Use APA formatting to cite references in your posting and responses. Question (b) Write a summary to address the following with your Final Project in mind: (CAMFED) Explain whether you liked the Group work. Include whether you felt like it helped you fulfill the Final Project requirements. You may consider the following questions: How has this experience benefitted you? Has this experience enhanced your knowledge of the strategic planning process? Did you gain significant insights into organizational strategic planning? Provide at least two suggestions for improving the Group work experience.

Program Evaluation of an Assessment Center In this unit, you read about a variety of resources, such as tests or measures and methods, which can be utilized in a variety of work settings. In many settings, several of these resources are incorporated into a single comprehensive design or program to address multiple issues or needs, or answer multiple questions. One such program is the assessment center, which you were introduced to in your Psychological Testing and Assessment text. Since an assessment center, or any similar program using multiple assessment techniques (for example, school counseling programs, and special education intervention programs), typically provides decisions regarding a number of questions, then it is important, if not a requirement, to evaluate the program for efficacy and utility. You also learned about the concept of utility in the context of testing and assessment as applied to a single measure in Unit 5. Considerations involved in determining utility can also be applied to large-scale testing programs that employ multiple tests or measures in a selected battery. While the authors of your Psychological Testing and Assessment text introduced an assessment center from 1956 that incorporated multiple tools and methods, the Thornton and Gibbons' 2009 article, "Validity of Assessment Centers for Personnel Selection," elaborated on a review of the validity of elements of contemporary assessment centers and considerations when employing them. Instructions For this discussion, take into consideration the factors that affect a test's utility, which was identified in your Psychological Testing and Assessment text as psychometric soundness, costs, and benefits (pages 212–218), as well as practical considerations when conducting utility analyses, which includes pool of applicants, complexity of the job, and use of cut scores (pages 232–235). Identify three specific measures for a management assessment center addressing selection, placement, promotion, and career training. Identify a specific instrument for each of the following areas:  Ability or aptitude testing. Occupational career or interests. Personality. Discuss one advantage and one disadvantage in selecting these tests for the battery. Identify at least one issue regarding factors of utility and utility analysis with this battery of tests. Include how you would evaluate the effectiveness of incorporating your measures into this battery. How would you determine that the three tests are adequate for addressing the purposes of selection, placement, promotion, and career training? Include, in your discussion, if and how computerized assessment could be incorporated into your battery or evaluation. Response Guidelines Respond to the post of at least one other learner. Learning Components This activity will help you achieve the following learning components: Explain how testing may have utility in settings of use.  Analyze applications of testing for different purposes and populations. Apply writing and citations skills appropriate for doctoral-level learners.  Studies Key Concepts Review Unit 10 Key Concepts [PDF].
