Assignment: Capstone Final Project and Presentation

Please do this paper on WALMART...I will do the power point presentation

This assignment consists of two sections: a final capstone project plan and a closing process PowerPoint presentation. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Section 1: Final Capstone Project Plan

You are now in the final stage of the capstone project development. 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 his leadership team approve your strategy recommendations. The presentation should be very detailed in order to address potential concerns and provide support your recommendations. However, the executive team is only interested in a thirty minute summation. Therefore, you also must create a compelling executive summary that is supported by your detail that convinces the executive team that it should move forward with your recommendation.

1. Develop a twenty to thirty page project plan in which you:

a. Write a two to three page executive summary in which you provide a high-level technical overview of your project where you address the following from the case study:

i. Strategy Development
ii. Innovation and Competitive Analysis
iii. Exploiting Innovation
iv. The Organization's Response to Change

b. Combine all previous documentation for Project Deliverables 1-4 in which you provide all aspects of the strategic management process into the project plan.

c. Compile all the quality resources from the previous deliverables. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Section 2: Closing Process PowerPoint Presentation

In addition to your detailed executive summary, you must 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. A template is provided for your use. You can modify the template based on your professor's instructions. Do not omit any information from the template because the information aligns with the rubric. Note: The template can be found here.

2. Prepare a nine to fifteen slide presentation in which you:

a. Include a title slide and a slide in which you provide the purpose and objectives of the presentation.

b. Examine your chosen company's competitive environment.

c. Determine your chosen company's main strengths and weaknesses.

d. Determine and evaluate two to three strategies to exploit its innovation breakthroughs.

e. Recommend a strategy for your chosen company.

f. Advise key strategic implementation approach.

g. Include a summation slide in which you provide the key takeaways for the CEO.

Your presentation must follow these formatting requirements:

• Use the PowerPoint presentation template that can be found in the online course shell. Your professor will inform you if the template can be modified.
