This milestone will allow you to work on the Recommendations portion of your final project.

Prompt

In this milestone, you will begin crafting your recommendations. Your recommendations should be targeted toward the leadership and management of any public sector or nonprofit organization; you do not need to focus specifically on making recommendations for the three organizations you selected. Rather, they will be your basis for making recommendations for public and nonprofit organizations in general. Recommendations are an essential part of the strategic planning process, because they function as a communication tool, as a proposal for the utilization of scarce resources, and certainly as an action plan to accomplish the mission$/$vision of the organization.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Recommendations

Program Success: Based on the measures used to evaluate the program outcomes and the best practices you identified, which best practices could decision makers implement to enhance the likelihood of program success?

Program Reengineering: Recommend a best practice model for program reengineering based on your cost$-$benefit analysis for the three organizations and independent research.

Overcoming Constraints: How effective were the strategic management processes used by the three organizations to overcome the constraints they faced?

Organizational Success: Explain how governmental and nonprofit agencies can improve organizational success by best utilizing the principles of benchmarking, best practices, and comparative governmental performance.
