Content
The needs assessment correctly identifies a gap which can be remedied through the inclusion of a formalized social media plan.
The needs assessment is representative of an analysis of the entire organization, not just pieces. It thoroughly identifies stakeholders and policies, the role that they currently play within the context of the identified issue(s), and the role that they will play in any kind of change.
Risks to the organization, and the assessment, are identified and analyzed. Measurements are devised to monitor and evaluate risk, and a reporting mechanism is established for stakeholders to be aware of opportunities for risk.
