Assignment: Capstone Project Part IV: The Technicals: Measuring and Evaluating Performance

Doing so at the societal level is both a challenge and an opportunity. Being a successful social change agent, leader, and advocate requires both skill and commitment.
To accomplish large-scale change to address societal issues as part of the technical aspects of a strategic plan, human and social services professionals need to address indicators of success and performance targets.
To prepare:
This Assignment is the second part of developing the technicals for your Capstone Project.
Think about how you might apply the theories and processes of change, leadership, and advocacy when implementing a strategic plan that addresses indicators of success and performance targets.
The Assignment (2-3 pages):
