Case Study #1

Why do we go through the strategic planning process for organizations, but don’t consider developing our own strategic plan? Without clarity about the direction you are headed, you may not achieve the things you want to in life. A meaningful, clear image of the future can motivate you to reach higher, think bigger, and take-on whatever comes your way. A strategic plan is designed to help you establish and achieve your life goals, shaping and guiding who you are, where you are going, what you do, and how, when and why you do it. All of this is done with a focus on the future. The first step to creating a strategic plan requires setting aside time to critically thinking about you. Before answering the case study questions, spend some time thinking about each of the following questions below and jot down things that come to mind.

Who am I, and why am I here?

Who do I want to be in the future … in 5 years… in 10 years?

What did I dream of becoming?

What do I value that gives real happiness?

What am I passionate about that gives meaning to life?

What things do I really enjoy doing?

What is important to me in life, both personally and professionally?

What am I doing when I feel my best?

What is it that I believe so strongly in that I would be willing to die for?

What are my strengths and weaknesses? What skills do I have?

With regard to money, how much is enough? If I have more, what will the excess be used for?

What do you want to contribute?

What do I want to be remembered for?

Case Study Rubric

24-27 (Good) = Conforms to the norms of edited American English. Uses language concisely and eloquently. Flows well from one sentence to the next and reads well aloud. The few errors there do not get in the way of reading fluently.

60-66 (Good) = Answered all questions thoughtfully but can go more in-depth in some cases. Details are there but are not very full, and may sometimes be inaccurate.
