HCA 7022-8 Week 3 – Strategic Planning Stages Assignment
A Situational Analysis
A situational analysis is the first stage of strategic planning. It
typically begins with an analysis of the current and recent
situation of the organization. The situational analysis sets the tone
and its purpose is to understand past successes and failures,
allow those less knowledgeable about the organization to build a
solid understanding, help determine what factors are subject to
the organization’s control, and how external forces may affect the
organization in the future. HCA 7022-8 Week 3 – Strategic
