Question

Organizational development is focused on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of a workplace. As part of this process, strategic planning professionals often work with leadership teams to develop strategies for short-term and long-term organizational development, including workforce planning and succession planning. This helps ensure that health care organizations recruit, train, and retain employees that are capable of meeting strategic objectives.
For this Discussion, examine the following scenarios and suggest strategies for organizational development, workforce planning, and succession planning. Briefly describe the scenario assigned to you by the Instructor. Recommend strategies for short-term and long-term organizational development, workforce planning, and/or succession planning. Defend your recommendations. Support your response by identifying and explaining key points and/or examples presented in the Learning Resources.

Park Post-Acute Care Services has been providing quality nursing home and home health services for 70 years in rural Texas. It is a family-owned business that has been passed down through the generations to family members eager to provide service to citizens in the community. About three years ago, the leadership team created a five-year strategic plan in anticipation of some members of the leadership team retiring after fully accomplishing the plan. The remaining members committed to serving as chief executives of larger health care organizations. However, the strategic plan failed to include a succession plan for identifying talented professionals who will be able to lead the organization after the long-standing leadership team of 15 years vacate their positions in two years.
