Chosen Organization and Identified issue

Kids Empowerment Foundation (KEF) is a non-profit organization that aims to empower underprivileged children by providing them with education, healthcare, and other essential services. The organization's vision is a world where every child has an equal opportunity to succeed and thrive. KEF organizational stakeholders complained about ineffective communication and collaboration among different departments. This problem impacts the organization's efficiency and effectiveness in delivering its programs and services to the target beneficiaries. The misalignment with the organization's vision, mission, and values is evident in how the lack of communication and collaboration hampers the organization's ability to provide equal opportunities to all children (Hueske & Guenther, 2015). The mission of KEF is to empower underprivileged children, which requires seamless coordination between different departments such as education, healthcare, and finance. If there is a lack of communication, essential information and resources may not be shared effectively, hindering the provision of necessary support to the children.
