Capstone Forum: Assignment With Peer Review: KSF Analysis and Potential Strategic Pathways for Your Chosen Organization
Now it is time to apply lessons learned from this week’s case analysis and discussion about Key Success Factor analysis this week’s readings and other resources to help you think about how you might answer the questions how will you win? (how will you create unique value now and in the future?) and which capabilities must be in place (to win in the future)? What skills competencies and capabilities do you need now and in the future?
To prepare for this Discussion:
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:
General Guidance: Your original discussion post for the Capstone Forum will typically be 1 to 1 single-spaced pages excluding references. Refer to the Week 6 Discussion 2 rubric for grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use the rubric to assess your work.
Note: After you receive input from your colleagues in the next few days you should revise your original post to reflect input that you think is helpful and strengthens your position. This final revised version from this week’s Capstone Forum will become the fourth formal entry into your Strategy Playbook appendix. Title this section KSF Analysis Strategic Pathways and Recommendations for XYZ [Starbucks] and be sure to keep a version of your response in your Strategy Playbook template. As a best practice you should plan to review your playbook throughout the course as you continue to build your components. You may find that you have new ideas and items that further improve your work.
