Strategizing for Organizational Success

Welcome to Week 2! This week we touch base on the important of motivation and innovation.

Surely you have been in a position at some point where motivation was lacking. This is never a positive scenario and one that most managers look to avoid. With the growth and ever-changing technology, innovation often comes with a great sense of motivation for your team. However, it can also lead to challenges that create just the opposite effect. You will use your skills this week to explain how motivation and innovation can impact the workplace overall.

Consider your current workplace. Do you feel motivated? Do you feel your colleagues are motivated? What creates this sense of motivation? These are just a few of the questions that you will consider as you move throughout this week’s learning.

Furthermore, consider what innovation looks like to you. You might find that what your peers consider innovative varies from your thoughts. This is where the learning from week 1 will also come back into view as you continue to strategize and plan for continued growth and success. I look forward to your effort this week.

Upon successful completion of this week's lesson, you should be prepared to: 

· Evaluate the organization's motivation, innovation strategy, and people strategy

· Compare different types and levels of strategies and how they need to be suited to culture of an organization

· Analyze an organization's remote environment, industry environment, and internal environment
