Develop Your Strategy
Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, is known as one of the most intriguing, yet intelligent, corporate leaders of our time. His famous quote, "Control your destiny, or someone else will," has inspired numerous managers and organizational leaders to examine their own strategies for becoming successful planners and decision makers.
Based on the advice provided by Jack Welch, as well as others within the videos viewed this week, develop five planning strategies you would implement as the project manager of a diverse team selected to deliver a new technology initiative for your current or former organization. Write a summary reflecting on how these strategies may align with the mission and goals of your organization.
Length: 1-2 pages, not including title and reference pages. Include a minimum of two resources.

You have decided to launch a website to help promote your company and the available services offered.
Use the references below and/or other Internet sources to research your topic.
