This is perfectly on track but needed clarification 1) Ensure it’s only 12 pages. Simplify the contents page and put it on same page as Exec Summary. Delete the images of PESTEL and SWOT etc 2) You MUST back up your explanations with numbers. You need to explain everything i.e. sales, effectiveness, financial strategy and use numbers to justify your points. 3) Make sure you explain your financial forecast and tactical plan.

Don't forget to explain how you intend to use the $4m! · This is the toughest assignment of this unit. Keep pushing through and give it your best shot. Even for those on zero for the Q4 cumulative balanced scorecard, you can get just as high marks for a good plan as those in the 100's. The final assessment for the capstone is a powerpoint and slightly less taxing. · Best of luck and remember, I don't typically work weekends, so if you have any questions, please post them or email them to me before Friday, or use the discussion forum at the weekend to support each other.

Following a few questions I have had I just wanted to clarify a few things. · You should be using your Q1 to Q4 actual results. You need to forecast your financials for Q5 and Q6 and also describe what they mean. Don't just include a Q5 and Q6 forecast without describing in your plan the implications. · You also need to forecast a Q5 and Q6 tactical plan. · There is no word limit for this plan, just the 12 pages total. Be sure to include the key charts / numbers, but don't go overboard and include all of them as you'll have no space left to write / describe. As a general guide, I would expect about 3 or 4 pages of charts and 8 or 9 pages of written description. · Make sure in your written description that you are analysing the numbers and communicating the meaning of them. It's not useful to say sales increased from a to b without offering an explanation as to why. It is this analysis that distinguishes a good plan from a bad plan and it is critical you do that all the way through. Remember, you are producing this for venture capitalists who need to be left understanding the real performance of your business. ·

Attached please find the assignment, and what all information do you require from the live martket place that this unit is base on. By now, you will have an updated cumulative balanced scorecard for Q4. It is this you should use for your Business Plan. Q5 and Q6 you will need to forecast. Be selective about what you put in your plan. I fully understand that sometimes it is harder to write less than more!! I suspect this is the challenge a few of you are facing. Please be assured that it is still possible to get all of the marks i.e. a High Distinction in 12 pages! Now that the decisions have been processed, I can tell you that another 10 people have a positive balanced scorecard which is great. Pioneer computers are leading with a scorecard of 284. The highest score anyone at KBS has ever had is 2,200, so keep pushing. Finally, I want to acknowledge that it is difficult working through the simulation alone. Keep going with it. A big proportion of the marks for this course are on the business plan and presentation. It doesn't matter what your score is to get the marks in these. What matters is what you write and how you explain your business strategy going forward.
