Based on the broad statements of strategic intent, you are charged with developing an operational
plan. For each strategy goal outlined, come up with two short statements describing an operational
activity that could be implemented to achieve this. Your operational activities should reflect an
understanding of the types of details included in an operational plan.
Your operational activities should be accompanied by a budget, measurement, responsible person
(for example job title) and a timeline. Your activities might encompass manufacturing, sales,
marketing, HR, or administrative responsibilities. Use the table to complete the plan. Strategic goal Operational activity Measurement Person/ title Question 8.
