The purpose of this assignment is to conduct an internal audit of organizational strengths and weaknesses and an external analysis of opportunities and threats as part of the strategic planning process.

Review the “Learning Exercise” located at the end of Chapter 2 in the textbook. Using a health care organization that no one in the group is researching as the focus for the assignment, you will collaborate to complete a multi-part analysis of the organization’s strategic assets. The findings will be presented in a 5 slide PowerPoint presentation. Keep the size of graphic files condensed and minimize special effects to ensure the file size does not exceed the 10 MB maximum for file submission to the LMS. Speaker notes should be included for each slide to provide talking points and relevant supporting details for the presentation of slide content.

Utilize attached power point unused slides 4-9, PLEASE INCLUDE REFERENCES.
