The organization that I will research is private protection and training company known as Academi, LLC. Academi, LLC is the former “Black-Water” and “Xe” corporation that is renamed and reorganized. Acedmei LLC specializes in training and protecting other private companies, government agencies, people, assets, and natural resources.
Validation of the organization’s vision, mission statement, and values statements is a process that is living objective and constantly needs reassessed. The CEO and other key positions in the company must review annual and quarterly reviews to ensure the company is meeting short and long term goals. These reviews allow the company asses and realign with the pre-established strategic plan. The company’s mission should address what product or service is produced, how and why its produced, the market that is served, and overall the beliefs of the company. The mission statement should be constantly reviewed to ensure that mission reflects the company’s current status and core competencies. The company’s core management will semi-annually review these statements and provide them to the executive board for approval and changes. The external environment can be separated into three interrelated categories: remote environment, industry environment, and the operating environment. To utilize sources when analyzing the external environment, you must understand each sub category. The remote environment focuses on exploiting and analyzing economic, social, political, technological, and ecological factors. Each factor has to be addressed and prepared for. The industry environment focuses on the competition in other industries. My strategic plan involves to identify threats and opportunities in my competitive industry. Understanding that threats can increase my cost and opportunities can create future profits and critical to my companies
