Section 1: Project Plan
All previous documentation should be combined into one document that will serve as the statement of work for the project. Your goal is to have the CEO of your chosen company and the leadership team approve your strategy recommendations. The presentation should be very detailed in order to address potential concerns and provide support for your recommendations. However, the executive team is only interested in a 30-minute summation. Therefore, you also must create a compelling executive summary that is supported by details that convince the executive team that it should move forward with your recommendation.
20-30 page project plan
2–3 page executive summary in which you provide a high-level technical overview of your project where you address the following from the case study: 1. Strategy Development. 2. Innovation and Competitive Analysis. 3. Exploiting Innovation. 4. The Organization’s Response to Change.
Combine all previous documentation for Project Deliverables 1–4 in which you provide all aspects of the strategic management process into the project plan. Compile all the quality resources from the previous deliverables. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Section 2: Powerpoint
Present your findings to the executive team and the venture capital group that, along with the executive summary, will convince everyone that your solution is optimal. Your PowerPoint must have speaker notes, and these speaker notes must be written as if you were presenting this project to your client.
9–15 slide presentation in which you: 1. Include a title slide and a slide in which you provide the purpose and objectives of the presentation. 2. Examine your chosen company’s competitive environment. 3. Determine your chosen company’s main strengths and weaknesses. 4. Determine and evaluate two to three strategies to exploit its innovation breakthroughs. 5. Recommend a strategy for your chosen company. 6. Advise a key strategic implementation approach. 7. Include a summation slide in which you provide the key takeaways for the CEO.
