Final Project: Leadership and Strategy Plan
For this Final Project, you select a pressing health problem
affecting a community and develop a leadership and strategy plan
for addressing the problem. You link this problem to a
corresponding Healthy People 2020 objective(s).
Scenario
You are a new Health Program Planner recently hired by the Lake
Troubled Shallows Department in Minnesota. Prior to your arrival, a
comprehensive community health needs assessment was conducted by
the Health Department. Based on the assessment, the following top
five community health needs were identified. • Heart disease and
stroke prevention • Diabetes screening • Physical activity •
Maternal, infant and child health monitoring and treatment • Mental
health and mental disorders screening and treatment
The executive director of the Lake Troubled Shallows Health
Department has tasked you with targeting one of the aforementioned
community health needs as a top priority during your first year.
The director has asked you to develop a leadership and strategy
plan to address your identified community health
need.
As part of the pre-planning stage of developing your leadership and
strategy plan, first select and match one the Healthy People 2020
objectives to one of the top five needs identified by the Health
Department.
For instance, if you choose “physical activity,” review the various
physical activity objectives under the general Healthy People 2020
Objectives. Then, select a specific, measurable
sub-objective.
You will need to review the current national data on your chosen
objective.
Next, for purposes of this assignment, you should assume that the
health status of
individuals residing in Lake Troubled Shallows is representative of
the overall health
status of individuals living within Minnesota. You can go to the
Minnesota State Health
Department’s website to find additional data on state level
progress and resources to
support your leadership and strategy plan at:

community health
need, you develop a leadership and strategy plan to address
it.
Paper Format:
13-to 15-page paper (not including title page), APA
format
Leadership and Strategy Plan
• Executive Summary (1 page)
• Table of Contents (1 page)
• Manuscript (see components list below)
The manuscript section of your Final Project will need to address
the following
components:
• Introduction (1–2 pages):
Select a problem from one of the five problems identified in the
Background
(Scenario) and match it to one Healthy People 2020 objective
(sub-objectives
that are measurable). Describe the rationale for selection of this
problem and the
magnitude of the problem (e.g., incidence, prevalence, impact on
communities
and society).
? Strategic Plan (2 pages plus SWOT analysis worksheet, revised
from Week 7):
Use the SWOT analysis template completed in Week 7 as a starting
point for this
section. (You will include your completed template in the
appendices of this Final
Project.) For this Final Project, address the following based on
your SWOT
analysis:
o Identify any connections between listed items in the quadrants
(i.e., is there an opportunity that can be taken advantage of to
address a particular threat or weakness?). o Propose strategies to
maintain, enhance or leverage potential strengths (e.g., make
appropriate assumptions about internal strengths of the Health
Department). o Propose strategies to minimize weaknesses (e.g.,
make appropriate assumptions about internal weaknesses of the
Health Department). o Propose options for leveraging or taking
advantage of opportunities. o Explain the potential impact of
threat/challenges and what you should do to address or prepare for
the threat. o Explain potential strategic issues that the health
department may need to address.
• Program Description (2 pages): o Review the evidence for a
program intervention—ideally, this will be quality, evidence-based
public health information demonstrating best
practices from peer-reviewed literature. Find at least three
sources of
evidence, preferably peer-reviewed. o Briefly describe the
hypothetical program to address your chosen community health
problem. Based on your SWOT Analysis, include 3–5
specific and measurable program objectives that you hope to
accomplish
within 1 year (Refer to SMART Objectives Template as a guide
for
developing appropriate program objectives).
• Leadership Challenges and Systems Thinking (3
pages):
(Refer to Weeks 1 and 2 Learning Resources.) Describe and explain
the leadership approach you will take to execute your plan. Include
the leadership style(s) you will employ and the leadership skills
necessary to be effective including emotional intelligence and
cultural competence.
o Briefly describe how you will apply systems thinking to your
identified community health issue in order to communicate to others
(stakeholders) with regards to how your proposed plan may impact
the community. A common systems thinking tool is a casual loop
diagram. Please review the resources from Week 2 related to systems
thinking and create a simple casual loop diagram that relates to
your program development. o Note: You can use PowerPoint (go to
“Insert” then “SmartArt”) to create your casual loop diagram and
copy and paste the graphic into the paper. o The following is an
example of a simple casual loop diagram:
Morbidity and Mortality risks of HIV/AIDs
Evaluation of evidencebased screening, treatment, and education
Options
Community Awareness of risks and treatment options
Engagement of key stakeholders in the community
Development of public health initiatives
• Ethical Implications (0.5–1 page):

Imagine you are hired for Moople, a well-known tech company that receives thousands of job applications from students every year. You are asked to create a program that algorithmically selects the applications that are worth a second look. Moople claims that algorithms will reduce costs and help negate the biases that result from tired application readers (will it?).
To help with this process, Moople’s application collects numerical data about each applicant’s computer science education. Applicants must enter the grades they received across 6 core CS courses as well as their overall GPA. The information for each applicant will be stored in a list, such as the following:
[100, 95, 80, 89, 91, 75, 83]
This list will represent their performance across the following courses:

All of the macroeconomic material is related to this model: GDP, inflation, unemployment. In chapter 12, you’ll read about how fiscal policy can affect the economy. The fiscal policy tools that you read about in this chapter are meant to adjust the aggregate demand side of the economy. But there is a debate about whether this is the side of the market that should be targeted. Some economists and policymakers would rather focus on policies that shift the aggregate supply (so-called “supply-side policies”). For this discussion board, explain one of the reasons why policymakers usually focus on demand-side policies to achieve their macroeconomic goals as opposed to the supply-side ones. Be sure to include concepts from the chapters. Provide one example of a demand-side policy and explain why and how it causes the aggregate demand to shift. Similarly for the supply side, you need to explain one of the reasons why some may prefer to use supply-side policies. Provide one example of a supply-side policy and explain why and how it causes the aggregate supply to shift. In both cases, make certain that you are giving reasons supporting the use of these policies as opposed to giving reasons against the opposite policies. Both supply-side and demand-side policies have impacts on inflation and unemployment. Explain what these impacts are for each type of policy (i.e. demand-side and supply-side policy). Knowing these impacts and the reasons you explained above, which type of policy do you favor and why?
Support your opinion with economic reasoning and concepts. If you use any other sources, be sure to cite them within the text as well as provide a bibliographical citation at the end.
