This is a progressive/scaffolding exercise where students are required to submit sections of work incrementally throughout the semester.

Students are to assume that you are a business consultant working on strategic corporate planning. You have been hired by the company (your selection) to provide effective actionable feedback. You need to demonstrate your level of understanding and assessment of the client’s situation by preparing a case study analysis.

Throughout this exercise, you should identify a problem existing within your company.

You will carry out various levels of research to explore what financial information would be important for you to distribute with the company and others. Identify what intervention strategies would be appropriate for you to put in place at this stage for the client going into the future.
