Strategic Planning Process

Lutheran Services in America (LSA) is a nonprofit organization that organizes the work of more than 300 sovereign Lutheran human and health service institutions allied with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod or the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The headquarters of this organization is in Washington, DC. Its revenue makes the firm the single largest American charitable organization. These corporations offer social and health amenities to at least 6 million individuals in the Caribbean and the United States. LSA approximates that their programs help the lives of one out of 50 residents in American (Leeman & Toles, 2019). Its affiliated organizations address a wide variety of needs, such as those of the people with disabilities, elderly (senior care services), children and families, and people with special needs.

Senior care services at LSA strategizes to incorporate ancillary services needed to help the people suffering because of old age. Meal preparation and planning is also done when the elderly cannot cook or buy their meals. The company also offers transportation services when elderly patients can no longer manage to drive themselves. Additionally, the organization involves senior and adult day care services to help get these patients out to interact and remain active. Their “Seniors Care" department, however, might need to include more services that focus on improving care services for the old, as another way of transforming the lives of the American community and its residents (Leeman & Toles, 2019).

The older adults are often vulnerable to assault from their loved ones and relatives. The abuse mostly stems from a property dispute, where the older people are required to sell their possessions and live in poverty until death. Most of these people are too afraid to present themselves or fear that their loved ones will humiliate them. Pursuing this further, the older adults deserve dignity, a healthy life, economic independence, and a diplomatic death. The elders desire affection, care, and love (Heyland et al., 2015). In this case, knowing their concerns and needs will promote their good health. Moreover, offering emotional help to older adults makes them cheerful, which represents the best way to pursue a healthy and enjoyable life. Nevertheless, for most individuals, offering attention and care to these patients is almost impossible because of work priorities. Older people grieving from cognitive problems experience severe personality changes; that is why they need attention and care (Tegn et al., 2016). By leaving the elders unattended, some get an overwhelming feeling of purposelessness and dejection. In turn, some of these people become violent. Although most people acknowledge that aging is a biological advancement, and it features its limitations, some people often disregard this and recourse to a harsh approach. In other words, the elderly needs better services than those that LSA offers. By incorporating these services intended to help these people, it would be an excellent way to improve the general wellbeing of Americans.

Various challenges may emerge throughout the process of strategic planning on incorporating services for the elderly. Firstly, strategic planning is a new process. Implementing a new process to the current infrastructure might be hard for the staff. Furthermore, the change is creepy. Therefore, managers should involve their team in the new process development and evaluate how each member adjusts or adapts to further modifications to cope with fears (Leeman & Toles, 2019). The second challenge is that the organization might not be aligned. In this case, officials are busy with regular activities, so when thinking about the "big picture," members will go into discussions with their department viewpoint. This could cause problems when prioritizing all department objectives into an organizational strategy (Heyland et al., 2015). Another challenge might arise in the strategic planning process if creativity appears limited. Furthermore, workers might feel their independence and creativity are limited when the manager pre-strategizes milestones, especially when he pre-plans months or years in advance.

It would also be challenging is the management fails to define the core elements of the plan clearly. In addition to this, regular operations might not be directly associated with the organizational goal. Thus, as time passes, employees might lose focus on purpose there are working towards. The final challenge that could arise is the dilemma of whether to focus on growth or operations. The healthcare department keeps the firm afloat while also expanding new projects and knowledge. In that, it balances operations and growth. If LSA fails to acknowledge the daily activities as similarly significant to the planned goal, employees might feel underappreciated and lose motivation (Leeman & Toles, 2019).
