Implementing a Strategic Plan
Organization used in previous assignment : Life Care Nursing
Building on Assignments 1 and 2, continue to develop a strategic plan for the same organization (Note: Refer to the environmental analysis that you completed as part of Assignment 1 and the strategies identified in Assignment 2.
Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:

  1. Select one (1) specific analytical tool that you can use to determine whether or not the adaptive strategy or strategies selected for your organization will be the most effective in helping the organization achieve its goals. Propose the manner in which you would use this analytical tool, and support your proposal with an example of its proposed use.
  2. Determine one (1) internal and one (1) external factor that you discovered during the environmental analysis that could be a barrier to the success of your proposed strategy or strategies. Recommend one (1) solution to each of the barriers in question.
  3. Determine the specific segment of the market that your organization’s strategy or strategies will target.
  4. Recommend whether pre-service, point-of-service, or after-service activities would be the most effective in approach in marketing your strategy or strategies to the organization’s target customers. Support your recommendation with examples of such effectiveness.
  5. Propose the most effective manner in which the organization can support its strategic direction within its culture and structure.
  6. Determine the most effective manner in which each of the following strategic resources can be instrumental in helping the organization to achieve its strategic goals: finance, human resources, facilities, and IT. Provide a specific example relevant to each resource to support your response.
  7. Evaluate how well the strategic plan you have developed aligns with the organization’s mission and vision. Recommend three (3) specific strategies to track the effectiveness of your strategic plan.
  8. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites to not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Identify and discuss the nutrients that have the greatest impact on the animal if not supplied to meet the requirements of the animal at that stage of its life cycle.

/in /by

Formulate three rations for an animal species of choice for the life cycle of that animal, including growth, reproduction and either maintenance, lactation or a type of ‘performance’ if it exists. This will vary considerably between animal breeds and species and provides scope for you to focus a diet on a particular key stage of a lifecycle or performance event (eg, hibernation in bears, racing in greyhounds, the ‘rut’ in deer or simply maintenance in an aging golden retriever. Carefully explain why these rations have been developed according to the published nutritional requirements for this species. For domesticated animals (cattle, dogs etc) there are documented values for nutritional constituents, which often don’t exist for many wildlife species. Where animals have been selected that do not have sufficient nutritional parameters published, extrapolations from ‘similar’ species with known parameters may have to be undertaken. For example, Blackbuck antelope may have similar requirements to certain species of deer and African Hunting Dogs may have similar requirements to certain breeds of domestic canids. Research and reference these well.

Discuss the most important nutrients at different stages of the life cycle of this animal, along with any potential problems associated with nutrition and feeding of this animal. There may be certain points in the life cycles of animals where particular nutrients or requirements are higher than in others. For example, calcium requirements for laying hens, phosphorus requirements for deer growing velvet antler, calcium to phosphorus ratios in growing puppies or amino acid requirements in growing pigs. Identify and discuss the nutrients that have the greatest impact on the animal if not supplied to meet the requirements of the animal at that stage of its life cycle. Discuss any potential problems associated with the feeding of these animals, whether in general, or at particular stages of their life cycle. Problems may be in formulating rations, meeting dietary requirements from available feedstuffs (of particular importance with non-domesticates) or in relation to differences between lifecycle changes in nutritional requirements. For example, hypocalcaemia, pregnancy toxaemia, acidosis, urinary calculi, osteochondrosis.
