Strategic thinking and planning in education

Please find my SWOT analysis about Saudi Aramco and relate the SWOT to this assignment.

The 3 page strategic plan plus a 2 page discussion of the logic of the plan
Your 3 page strategic plan plus your 2 page logic of the plan argument should include the following items unless you can justify their exclusion. Remember that your plan should look at the strategic, rather than the operational or tactical. Plans of 3 years or more are favourably regarded.
A comprehensive background to the organisation is provided.
The mission, aspirations, purpose and vision are described.
A values statement is provided IF you believe it to be appropriate to your organisation. If you do not include a values statement, explain why you do not think it appropriate.
A refined SWOT analysis is provided as an appendix at the back of the plan (this is extra or on top of the required to the 5 pages)
Strategic goals/directions are identified (no more than 3).
For each strategic goal/direction, a brief explanation of resourcing is outlined.
Objectives for each goal/direction are formulated with:
actions
timelines
performance indicators/measurements/targets.
The objectives etc should be presented in a tabular format.
If references are cited, use the APA referencing systems1.
Each citation has a relevant reference.
Each reference has a relevant citation.
Remember the budgetary exercise!
Behind your 3 page Strategic Plan please make a two page argument about the logic of your plan-
Why the various organisational priorities/objectives that are situated in your plan?;
What you are concerned about in the plan;
The use of the balanced scorecard in the logic;
Information that was needed but difficult to obtain;
How you worked to design flexibility within the plan;
Collaboration and communication processes in the design of the plan;
Organisational ownership and belief in the plan.
Essentially, here you are asked to demonstrate your thinking in an argumentative and referenced piece of writing that offers insights into the quality and design integrity of your strategic plan.
