Homework: Business Finance- Management- Your Business Portfolio
Throughout your journey in the program, you have completed many deliverables that could be added to a professional business portfolio to share with future employers. It is recommended that you add one core homework to the business portfolio in each course within the program. These homework will demonstrate your strategic thinking in each area, and they will also reflect your own growth and development.
This will be your business portfolio homework for this course.
Overview
Throughout this course, you have created homework for a business consulting pitch deck. In your homework you shared important data and insights about your company. Analyze the data and provided a targeted recommendation for the challenge or opportunity faced by the company. In this homework, you will continue in your role as a hired consultant and compile an implementation plan that addresses communication, collaboration, motivation, and return on investment. This is your final (cumulative) pitch deck presentation.
Instructions
The goal of this homework is to convince leadership at the company to accept your recommendation and implement the strategies in your proposal.
Important: In this homework you will combine the three homework (PPT decks) together into a single, final pitch deck that could be presented to your company leadership. Be sure you have made the necessary changes to your previous homework based on instructor feedback. You will also update your Sources slide to include all resources used throughout the project.
The homework must be completed in the provided PowerPoint template.
