Change Management in Sports-Strategic Plan Development

From the Paper:

"The newly appointed Emergency Manager must lead their subordinates, the Legislature and the Governor in a clearly defined direction in the development of a strategy for implementation of change that has been identified in previous assignments. It is critical that the Emergency Manager understand the functionality and limitations of Emergency planning, National Response planning and Incident Management System planning. The operational plan will be developed in full from identification of the weaknesses or threats that exist in implementing this plan. The plan will have to be initiated through difficult choices such as outsourcing and reduction in personnel. This plan will change the way business is conducted in demonstrating how the obstacles of execution might be overcome."
