What are some DSS and strategic planning case examples?
The National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of International Material Protection and Cooperation (IMPC) needed to identify, quantify, and track its progress in accomplishing its overall mission and goals as well as planning and predicting future progress a decade into the future. Project Performance Corporation met this need by “supporting a program-wide strategic planning initiative and developing and deploying a web-enabled metrics tracking system.” At Electrogrid, according to McCall and Young (2006), thirty-six directors gave their input in an online survey and an online discussion forum for a strategic planning process. Then sitting in a conference room, “managers entered comments concurrently into their computers, quickly exchanging and documenting ideas on electronic flipcharts. With anonymity ensured, they wrote frankly and read with an open mind. Within thirty minutes, the Environmental Scan produced two hundred well-documented issues of concern to the organization.”
