Strategic Planning and Change Management
Step 1: Find and investigate a current topic in Clinical Nutrition Management
As a group, you will develop an outline of the topic that you are assigned. Prior to developing the outline, you will develop a thesis statement to guide the content provided in the outline. The outline should have at least as many major headings as the number of individuals in the group, with each heading having equal content presented as sub-headings. In addition to the major headings on the topic, a final heading should be titled “Conclusions and Recommendations for Dietetics Practice.”
Insert your outline here:
Step 2: Develop a Strategic Plan
Answer/provide clarification for each of the following areas when developing a strategic plan, providing detail and clarity for all areas. As a group, you will assume the role of employees at the facility that you create to serve as stakeholders and to provide input on the strategic plan.
The following is adapted from Chapter 8; therefore, additional details on what needs to be provided in each section are provided in the text. This information will be used as part of your presentation.
| Description of Facility
Draft of a description of the type of facility/organization where the strategic plan and change will be implemented. Include items such as the patient/customer population served, size, administrative structure, clinical/foodservice administrators, number of clinical and/or foodservice staff, current policies, and procedures (if any) in the area that will be changed, etc. More detail will make completing the remainder of the worksheet easier. |
| Define the Scope and Desired Outcomes of the Strategic Plan
Defining the scope of the plan as early as possible is essential. What are the desired outcomes of this plan? What results do you want to achieve? When do you want to achieve these outcomes? What metrics will demonstrate successful outcomes? |
| Identify Who will be Included in Developing the Strategic Plan
Specific to the change that you plan to implement, list and describe the roles of those individuals that you will need to ensure adoption and execution of the plan. These individuals should be able to provide perspectives that will be valuable to include or will enhance the quality of the plan. |
| External Trends
Evaluate trends on the topic from research and other resources |
|
| Include at least 5 references in AMA style (3 of which are peer-reviewed) on the topic assigned. | Give a summary of the topic utilizing the references identified (AMA in-text citations required. |
| Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT)
Conduct a (mock) SWOT analysis using research, perspectives of the group members and/or perspectives of individuals working in the field. Use information from the text to help guide the development of each area of the analysis including environmental considerations and perspectives of key stakeholders. |

| Strengths | Weaknesses |

Step 3: Change Management
Using the assigned change model, provide a detailed description of the activities that will be completed to assure successful implementation of the change at the facility described in Step 2. Details that are included in Step 2 must be included as part of the description of the steps that will be implemented. While a brief description of each stage can be provided, the focus should be on the activities that will be implemented to support the change.
Insert Description of Change Model with Examples Here:
Reference : I’ll choose option (a) for my made-up athlete, an individual who competes in high-intensity sports resulting in fatigue in about 1 to 10 minutes.
One supplement that my athlete might consider using to enhance their performance is creatine monohydrate. Creatine is a widely studied and well-established supplement known to improve high-intensity, short-duration performance. Its metabolic role lies in the rapid resynthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy source for muscle contractions. During brief, intense efforts, such as sprinting or weightlifting, the demand for ATP is substantial. Creatine supplementation helps speed up ATP regeneration, allowing athletes to sustain high-intensity efforts for slightly longer periods. Several peer-reviewed studies support creatine’s efficacy in this context. For instance, a study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (Jagim et al., 2018) found that creatine supplementation improved power and strength performance in resistance-trained individuals, which aligns with the needs of high-intensity, short-duration sports.
Another supplement that could benefit my athlete is beta-alanine.Beta-alanine is an amino acid that elevates muscle carnosine levels. Carnosine acts as a buffer against the accumulation of lactic acid during high-intensity exercise, delaying the onset of fatigue. This is especially valuable for athletes engaged in activities like sprinting or high-intensity interval training, where lactic acid buildup can limit performance. A research article published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism (Smith et al., 2009) demonstrated that beta-alanine supplementation improved exercise performance during high-intensity, short-duration tasks, aligning with the needs of my athlete.
In summary, for athletes involved in high-intensity, short-duration competitions, supplements like creatine and beta-alanine can be beneficial. Creatine aids in rapid ATP regeneration, while beta-alanine enhances muscle buffering capacity against lactic acid, both of which are crucial for sustaining peak performance in this specific intensity range. The cited scientific articles offer evidence for the effectiveness of these supplements in such scenarios.
– Think about your athlete and what they would need to fuel their competitive performance and then recovery from it. What amount of each macronutrient (carbohydrate, protein, and/or fat) should they consume before their competition (within 3 hours), during, and after. 1 1/2 paragraph explanation per point
