Identify evidence-based strategies that integrate sound, data-driven analysis, and critical decision making to support the goals, vision, and mission of the organization.

Overview: Your final project will be to create a strategic HR plan to position the human resources function as a key strategic contributor and
focus on advancing the global competitiveness of your chosen organization. The final project will include an introductory cover letter, proposal
content, an implementation method, and a conclusion. This milestone allows you to choose a company in which you have an interest. This
should include learning more about the industry and function of the company, as this will be the subject of your research and the framework for
your proposal. You will also have the opportunity to submit an outline. This outline will not be part of your final submission but rather is an
opportunity to organize your thoughts and demonstrate the flow of your final paper.
Prompt: For the first milestone, you will choose a real organization (which is already competing globally or has the potential to expand globally)
and submit your choice for instructor approval. You will also submit an outline that concisely provides a high level overview of the structure your
final project will take.
