Assess the external environment for the organization you researched in Week 1.
Based on your assessment and the organizations strengths and weaknesses you identified in Week 1, evaluate opportunities for that organization to add economic, social, and environmental value.
Recommend an opportunity that best capitalizes on the organizations valuable, rare, and hard-to-imitate resources, is least impacted by the organizations weaknesses, and will take best advantage of the external environment.
Create a PowerPoint presentation to present your assessment, evaluation, and recommendation. Include the following sections in your presentation:
A cover slide
An agenda
A description of the organization (1 slide with speakers notes).
A summary of the strengths and weakness of the organization (2 slides with speakers notes)
Key aspects of your assessment of the external environment that present opportunities for adding value, such as trends, unmet needs, unsolved problems, under-served consumer groups, etc. (2-3 slides with speakers notes)
An evaluation of opportunities to add economic value (1 slide with speakers notes)
An evaluation of opportunities to add social value (1 slide with speakers notes)
An evaluation of opportunities to add environmental value (1 slide with speakers notes). Note: Some opportunities may appear on more than 1 slide. For example, you may find an opportunity that adds economic, social, and environmental value.
A recommended opportunity to pursue first, with a rationale that shows how the opportunity capitalizes on the organizations valuable, rare, and hard-to-imitate resources, is not much impacted by the organizations weaknesses, and takes advantage of the external environment (1 slide, with speakers notes)
