Determine how an organization gains a competitive advantage

Determine organizational risk and growth opportunities in order to develop a strategic plan

Defend business decisions in support of an organization’s strategic plan

Scenario

It’s the moment of truth: your opportunity to demonstrate why your new product or service is worth funding.

Not only will it produce revenue and profitability, but more importantly, it will strategically set the company apart from its competition.

You just have to convince senior management.

In preparation, you have created a checklist for yourself to use in compiling information that includes research, feasibility of the idea via the BMC, scope of project (timeline included), project risk mitigation, DEI, CSR, and 24-month pro forma.

You know that anything can happen in a funding pitch. With this in mind, you are prepared to answer questions that encompass all aspects of the project.

Directions

Create a pitch for funding. In this pitch, you will have to convince senior management to greenlight the new product or service. Aspects of the pitch that must be addressed:

Value proposition: Describe the company’s current value proposition in the market.

Describe the selected company’s main product or service.

Discuss the company’s overall strategic plan.

Competitive advantage: Describe the competitive advantage the company will gain by funding the project.

Describe how you discovered an opportunity to do something better than your competitors.

Determine how the new product or service shifts the value proposition of the company.

Note: In this pitch for funding, senior management has to know that the project, based on market research, is speculated to be profitable. Use the company’s current income statement to project how the company’s profitability will be affected. Look to other companies in the marketplace with products or services similar to the one you are proposing as a basis for your projections. Note: these numbers are purely speculative.

Determine the impact on the functional areas of the business (accounting, marketing, sales, and so on).

CSR plan: Outline the plan to service the community or customers that purchase the product or service.

Discuss how the idea demonstrates corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Identify what the company has invested in as it relates to the communities they serve.
