Strategic planning skills will be important to your career as a nurse executive and will also support you when you develop your Capstone project in order to complete your program. Capstone projects are designed to be an authentic learning opportunity that allows you address an organizational need.
In future coursework, you will work with your preceptor to identify a Capstone project with a leadership or management focus, such as addressing staffing, program, or budget issues. You are required to complete 144 practicum hours in your Capstone course, and about half of those hours will be working on a project with your preceptor.

Growing a business means taking many decisions about the way you want to expand your operations. Creating a strategic plan is a key component of planning for growth. It will help you prepare a realistic vision for the future of your business and in doing so can maximise your business’ potential for growth.
A strategic plan should not be confused with a business plan. A business plan is about setting short- or mid-term goals and defining the steps necessary to achieve them. A strategic plan is typically focused on a business’ mid- to long-term goals and explains the basic strategies for achieving them.
This guide sets out the basics of the strategic planning process. It explains how to go about drawing up a strategic plan, it highlights some important issues to bear in mind and it shows how to turn from planning to implementation.
