Organizational Design
The creation of an environmental or coastal management organization
is usually based on mandates, either congressional or legislative, that
translate into a mission.
The organizations mission is then elaborated as a
strategic plan with regional, state, or local focus.
The strategic plan contains appropriate programs and
project plans with a local or site-specific focus.
Each project plan and the planning process itself
focuses on specific local issue(s) and audience(s).
To then determine if and where there are issues for which training
or other tools and techniques can help, a needs assessment is
conducted.
