Week Three Survey
Overall Program Survey
Deliverables for this week include the following:
Results of your organizational Data Mining efforts presented in Zoho Notebook. This should include a general summary of your organization's mission, geographic presence, and key activities/projects.
1 core competency map (completed in teams per instructions) to accompany your Data Mining summary. This should include "adjacencies."
1 Strategy Canvas that is appopriate to your organization and/or alliance
1 completed Partnership Strategy Matrix
Products created in small groups should be consolidated and presented in your own Zoho Notebook by the end of the week
As per Week one, the pages in your Notebook need not be uniquely your work. When you are working on team projects (e.g., the Partnership Strategy Matrix), you may present the work you did with other team members. You are, however, free to improve or enhance the group's product so that you have a lasting portfolio of which you can be extremely proud.
