Strategic Management Action Plan (MAP)

Developing what is known as a strategic management action plan (MAP). When all the strategic planning is
done, it is time for management action planning based upon our strategies. This is where many healthcare
organizations of all types fall short. The same level of effort that went into creating the strategic plan needs to
continue as we take action, measure progress, and reassess over time. Management action planning is a stepby-step approach developed to help healthcare leaders plan the action steps that will lead to positive change
for our organizations.
The strategic plan sets the direction for us, and our MAPs get the work done, turning strategy into reality.
Developing a MAP is a seven-step process, and you will actually be practicing this MAP process as you create
your project. Refer to the steps in your textbook, Chapter 10, pp. 407–412, for guidance. My MAP
topic will be Neonatal/Pediatric Services.
