Your Human Services Organization's Director Has Appointed You to Head

Your human services organization's Director has appointed you to head the staff and management committee which will develop the organization's planning effort. You have used strategic planning, management planning and program planning models before to develop the organization's program planning. But you believe strongly that taking a strengths-based approach will produce better results for long term sustainable change in the community. Below, explain to the committee the three different types of planning models and then compare/contrast those to the methods of Assets Planning and Mapping. Describe one example of each of the three standard models (strategic, management and program) and then one example of Assets Planning and Mapping. Tell your committee in one sentence why you want to use Assets Planning and Mapping for the organization's planning process.
