Personal Action Plan 2
Personal Action Plan
At the onset of module one, my SWOT analysis though somewhat close to how business could and should be conducted, is off in a few areas. First of which, I had made note of impulsivity. Acting on impulse might be one of the worst things that could be done in business, as most items such as mergers and acquisitions require significant aforethought to ensure that the
organization that is being purchased is a good fit for the newly formed entity. It must be carefully evaluated whether or not an acquisition is the correct method to achieve organizational objectives. Provided it is, how do the organizations fit together? Does the organization being acquired give the organization a good complement? Sometimes, acquisitions are looked at as a sign of weakness for the purchasing company; however, if done right, acquisitions are heavily relied upon to achieve organizational goals (Nolop, 2007).
The next item, though a minor part within a business transaction, still plays an important role. That item is delegation. In a transitional period, such as a merger and acquisition, it is important to ensure that staff are keeping their skills fine tuned to ensure that productivity does not suffer during this time. Additionally, delegation will help in time management, and helps hold staff accountable to certain standards. After doing the final project, I am better equipped to handle organizational change, especially during such a volatile time. Transitional periods such as
a merger & acquisition can be scary for employees; however, if managed properly it can help organizations achieve great heights.
This course has given me many skills that can translate over to my personal career to help
me flourish. One highly beneficial skill would be understanding how important open, effective and purposeful communication is in business. Having this quality communication with your staff can help garner employee engagement and buy-in to any initiatives that the organization is

setting for this potentially impactful time. Communication can help increase productivity, collaboration, innovation and help establish a clear vision for an organization still trying to find its niche after absorbing the other into their culture (Harris, 2022). Another highly beneficial skill that I will be able to translate over into my personal career is strategic planning. Even if not
in an upper management role, this concept still speaks loudly to business as a whole. It is the process of one company studying the fit of a target asset if absorbed into their organization, while attempting to forecast and mitigate any risks that may be encountered. If this process is not carefully thought out, it may cause the merger & acquisition to fizzle out before it ever got started. Strategic planning will have a multifaceted affect on the organization. It will keep everyone working towards the same organizational objectives by helping to create a direction for
the company (American Society of Clinical Oncology, 2009). Furthermore, the MBA program has provided a multitude of skills that could help in my career growth. One aspect that I can use is approaching each day with an open mind. Working with a diverse culture can present creative solutions to tasks that might not be immediately thought about, but could be an efficient and effective way to give me the direction to take care of
what I need to. There will inevitably end up being options that remain unused; however, keeping
an open mind can help gain respect of your colleagues and may in turn help strengthen your open, effective and purposeful communication. Additionally, being technologically well-versed can also help facilitate career growth in the organization. Technological savviness can make potentially tedious work exponentially more efficient. Increasing the use of technology, whether it is during production or not, can also help an organization remain lean, thus increasing the end value to the consumer.
