CMS began by using systems analysis to understand the current practices used; utilized various personnel assessments in working with senior management to determine leadership styles; and instituted several role-playing exercises to determine what was successful and how these successes were awarded. These activities helped to establish attainable short-term goals based on sound best practices, and followed through with measurable outcomes and associated time frames. Additionally, the team of CMS was awarded a special plaque from the organization for their leadership role in this strategic planning process.
