To be successful, every organization needs to have a central plan that focuses everyone’s efforts toward a goal from the top down. It takes careful planning and problem solving skills for a leader to define the organization’s goals and implement a specific plan to help achieve those goals. That’s what strategic management is all about:

• Work with the leadership of a business, nonprofit, or government agency to define their goals.
• Develop a plan to achieve that goal with every level of the organization and resource. 
• Execute the plan with careful attention to performance measurements.

Businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies all need leaders who can apply advanced business studies to real-world practice. They need leaders who can analyze and understand critical challenges, create a practical plan, and execute the solution.
