Strategic Plan Evaluation

Goals within my organisation look at where we would continue to strive towards. They are long term aims. They are stated in our professional development plan stating:-

Organisations with strategic plans have goals that are long term essentially five year plans that guides programs and functions of administration,

Museums have long served a purpose as cultural staples. For every museum, big and small, careful consideration is used in selecting its contents. When securing new items for a museum, it is most important to consider public appeal, educational value, and cost-effectiveness.

The organization strategic plan consists of addressing clinical quality, growth, and becoming a larger part of the community, and providing long term value. The annual report states the following strategic goals (Bon Secours, 2012):

I hope to see museums make more concerted efforts to educate the public. Too many exhibits are of the “passive, didactic looking” than like the engaging Object Stories program (Dartt, Murawski). Exhibits should seek to tell untold narratives, and programs should be places of communication and cross-cultural encounters. For too long, difficult confrontations have been avoided, both inside the museum, and by dominant communities

Goals are integral in helping the company set timelines for fulfilling their core mission (Balanced Scorecard Institute, 2014). The division will focus on goals that focus on the generation of new ideas and how long it takes for these ideas to become business successes. As such, long term and short term goals must be clearly outlined.

All goals must be measurable to then measure the progress towards the successful outcome, to measure progress is to monitor and access success and achievement.

One of the greatest commitments of the libraries is to link the user to the source of information. Proper dissemination of library materials is only possible when the documents are in good and usable condition. Preserving intellectual and cultural heritage of the library from deterioration becomes the heartbeat of the libraries.

Libraries, archives and museums (LAMS) have been drifting into separate institutions for at least the last century. In doing so they have each created their own vocabulary and style of cataloging that often does not mesh. However, thanks to the great recession and the growth of digitization among all three fields, they are starting to come together for projects. This collaboration allows patrons a greater ability to gather information from all of them in one place. I can see the appeal of joint collaborations on both local and larger scales. By working together and even merging collections a wider audience can be reached and served.

The organizations that will be discussed are Century 21 Powerhouse Realty where I am employed at as a real estate agent and the Disney organization, which is an organization that has adopted total quality management. In the following paragraphs I will evaluate my organization’s mission, vision, goals, and objectives as well as discuss the relationship

Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience to advocate for the preservation of public libraries in America.

Collections play a crucial role in fulfilling a museum’s mission and purpose. A museum’s collection is defined by its collection policy past and present which in turn helps to shape the museum’s goals and direction. As stewards of collections, museums are expected to maintain the highest professional standards legally and ethically.

According to the American Alliance of Museums, community engagement in museums includes the use of this facility as “a center where people gather to meet and converse and an active, visible player in civic life, a safe haven, and a trusted incubator of change” (Long 141). Different museums

A research conducted to highlight the current methods use to promote the library collection and assess their effectiveness.

A greater number of educators are looking to museums to help them attain their educational objectives. Howard Gardner has identified Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood as the perfect environment for stimulating the natural curiosity of a child. Furthermore, in response to demands for new educational approaches, older children are using museums to develop their critical facilities in art and design (Campbell, 1992).
