Introduce your organization, providing a clear description of its path dependency, purpose and current
business profile.
2. Provide an analysis, using module models and theory, of the current strategic situation of your chosen
organisation.
3. Identify aspects of your chosen organization that, based on your analysis, give cause for concern, describing
the symptoms you have observed. As a good place to start this aspect of the analysis, you might ask the
question, ‘Is there a dissonance between what the organisation’s mission/vision statement expresses and
what is seen by the consumer of the organisation’s product/processes/services? This might include
product or process issues, increased competition, declining popularity, poor on-line reviews, declining sales
revenues.4. Provide a brief discussion of the organisational characteristics that might have led to the problems
observed, providing reasoning for each of your decision.
Ideally, you should try to identify 3 systemic issues that you consider may be responsible for
the problems identified in 1. above.
5. Apply the triage approach to the problems identified. Discuss which of the problems are considered, by the
project team to fall into each of the triage categories of:
A. Critical. Those problems that require the greatest application of resources to prevent further
decline in organizational health,
B. Intermediate/urgent. Those problems which are not considered critical, but if left un-resolved,
will eventually become critical or have a long-term impact on the business.
C. Tertiary/non-urgent organisational problems that, while they appear important, might be
monitored in the short-term.
6. Identify and discuss business strategy options that might, if implemented correctly, provide suitable
solutions to the problems identified.
