Write a strategic plan for a clinical laboratory
Not what you're looking for?
I am writing a strategic plan for a clinical laboratory I am having a problem trying to decide if the change I am proposing is long term and if it is how do I explain it and if its not do you have any suggestion for aplan for well established clinical laboratory key objectives Patients, growth, people(employees).

deliver six sigma quality
innovate and rapidly deploy tests and technologies
accelerate profitable growth
continuously improve ourselves
commit to future
