Discussion 2: Capstone Forum: Assignment With Peer Review: Stakeholder and General Force Analysis for Your Capstone Organization
Now it is time to apply key insights learned from this week’s case
analysis and Discussion about stakeholder assessment and its
relationship to P.E.S.T. analysis, this week’s readings, and other
resources to help you think about how you might answer the question,
where will you play? (Who will you serve, and who will either help or
compete against you?)
To prepare for this Discussion:
• Review all required readings, including the Weekly Briefing, which
provides additional guidance on how to complete the Assignment.
• Review this week’s case study and peer discussion and reflect and make
notes on the following: What insights did you gain, and what did you
learn from this week’s resources your case analysis and peer discussion
that you can apply to your Strategy Playbook for your chosen
organization? What conceptual and strategic differences are important
between the case example and your organization (focus on the concepts
analyzed this week)? What assumptions do you need to make in order to
use the strategy concepts appropriately?
• Identify and review all relevant readings from the MBA Capstone
Program Bibliography. Given your chosen organization, what concepts,
tools, and readings from the Program Capstone Bibliography are most
relevant to helping guide how you might recommend improving the company?
How and why are they relevant?
• Locate and maintain access to publicly available information about your organization.
By Day 5, post a polished and synthesized entry into the discussion
area, which will also be the basis for an entry into the final draft of
your Strategy Playbook for Extraordinary Results. At minimum you should
add the following to your discussion post and Strategy Playbook:.
• An evidence-based and cohesive set of specific and actionable
recommendations for actions (based on application of this week’s
strategy concepts), that your selected organization can take that will
clearly enable your organization to achieve its strategic goals, sustain
and grow its business, and remain viable and healthy.
o HINT: You should provide a preliminary argument that defends your
recommendations. Consider why your recommendations are SMART- specific,
measurable, achievable (that is realistic and feasible, and timely
(relevant and important).
• A related set of metrics that will enable your selected organization to measure the effectiveness of your recommended actions.
o HINT: These metrics could then be used in the comprehensive final
draft of your strategy playbook diagram, which is part of your final
Strategy Playbook.
General Guidance: Your original Discussion post for the Capstone Forum
will typically be 1 to 1 ½ single-spaced pages, excluding references.
