Organizational goals that are clearly written and communicated to stakeholders can have many positive effects. For example, organizational goals can help establish priorities, improve decision making, and build teamwork. However, organizations sometimes experience challenges and trends that impact their goals. As a current or future leader and manager of an organization, it is important to consider how you might overcome these potential challenges. In this Group Wiki, you create organizational goals, explore challenges that might impact them, and consider ways to overcome these challenges.

Review each of your group members’ wikis and provide peer support and feedback.
Each class member is responsible for creating his or her own wiki page. To do this, go to the Groups area of the course navigation menu, select your group, click the Group Wiki link, and then click on the Create Wiki Page button. Be sure to name your page according to the following convention: Week 7 Group Wiki – First Name + Last Name.
Note: It is important that each class member create a new wiki page and NOT edit your colleagues’ wiki pages.
Reminder: The Group Wiki offers a space for you and your group members to build an online learning community for the Final Project. The goal is to provide you with the opportunity to receive and offer peer support and feedback.
