Initiate your own feedforward experience with your peers and practice providing specific recommendations based on their feedforward requests.
If delivered effectively, feedback centers on specific recommendations for future improvement and growth. If delivered ineffectively, it focuses only on what was done wrong, with no specific path provided toward a better outcome. Goldsmith (2002) provides an alternative approach labeled feedforward. It shares a future orientation with effective feedback but differs from feedback in that the coachee identifies the areas for improvement and asks for ideas from others about how to change the behavior.In this Discussion, you will initiate your own feedforward experience with your peers and practice providing specific recommendations based on their feedforward requests.RESOURCESBe sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity. Click the weekly resources link to access the resources. WEEKLY RESOURCESTo prepare for this Discussion:Reflect upon your own professional life, in particular, how you relate to and/or manage others in professional contexts.Identify one or more behaviors you would want to improve as you work with and manage others.In preparation for responding to your colleagues, consider how feedforward can help you and others improve their management practices.BY DAY 3Post a description of one behavior in your professional life that significantly impacts how you manage or relate to others and that you would like to change.

SCENARIO: Select an organization you are familiar with or have worked for (currently or in the past). You are tasked with analyzing the organization both internally and externally using some of the tools and frameworks you have learned in this course. You are also tasked with recommending changes to the organizations strategy and structure, in addition to considering associated ethical implications. This assignment requires you to apply SWOT analysis, PESTEL analysis, Porters Five Forces of Industry Analysis, Porters Generic Strategies, and organization design concepts related to strategy-structure fit. You will prepare a slide deck containing your analysis and recommendations that could be presented to the organizations Board.ASSIGNMENT: TitleExecutive SummaryOrganization BackgroundInternal StrengthsInternal WeaknessesExternal OpportunitiesExternal ThreatsMacro Environment Analysis: PESTELMicro Industry Analysis: Porters Five ForcesGeneric Strategy RecommendationsOrganization Design RecommendationsEthical ConsiderationsReferencesStep 1: Choose an OrganizationSelect an organization that you are familiar with.The most successful Learners select an organization that is a public company with readily available information to meet the analysis requirements of the rubric. These successful learners do not rely solely on their personal knowledge but instead use evidence from references to support points in the touchstone.Learners that struggle with this touchstone are those who select an organization that is small, hyper-local, non-profit, or governmental; this includes municipalities or the company they work for. We suggest you avoid organizations in these categories.Organizations that should not be used include:AmazonAmnesty InternationalUS BankWalmartTeslaUse a presentation tool like PowerPoint or Google Slides to outline and organize your presentation. Your presentation must include the following:Slide ComponentTitle Slide Your title slide will be the first slide and should include your name, the date, and the name of the organization you selected.Executive Summary An executive summary should include the main points of your presentation in 1-2 slides (no more than 2). It should also include your recommendations in 1-3 bullet points. As a general rule, it is usually best (and easiest) to write the executive summary lastafter the rest of your presentation is completed.Organization Background The organization background should be briefno more than 1-2 slides. It should include a brief history of the organization, in addition to the major products or services offered and the markets that are served. Other possible categories include the founding date, mission statement, annual profits, sales regions, etc.Internal Strengths Using what you have learned about SWOT analysis, identify 4-6 strengths internally within the organization. You may have to make some inferences based on what you know or perceive about the organization.Internal Weaknesses Using what you have learned about SWOT analysis, identify 4-6 weaknesses internally within the organization. You may have to make some inferences based on what you know or perceive about the organization.External Opportunities Using what you have learned about SWOT analysis, list 4-6 opportunities facing the organization externally. Opportunities and threats are generally easier to identify than internal strengths and weaknesses, and are typically shared across the same industry.External Threats Using what you have learned about SWOT analysis, list 4-6 threats facing the organization externally. Opportunities and threats are generally easier to identify than internal strengths and weaknesses, and are typically shared across the same industry.Macro Environment Analysis: PESTEL Applying the PESTEL framework to the organization, identify 1-3 factors for each of the following: Political Factors, Economic Factors, Sociocultural Factors, Technological Factors, Environmental Factors, Legal Factors.Micro Industry Analysis: Porters Five Forces Analyze the industry the organization competes in by applying what you have learned about Porters Five Forces of industry analysis. You should list 2-3 observations for each of the following factors: Threat of New Entrants, Threat of Substitutes, Supplier Power, Buyer Power, and Industry Rivalry.Generic Strategy Recommendations Given what you have learned from your internal and external analysis of the organization, are they pursuing the right strategy? If so, why? If not, what might you recommend? Is the recommended (or current) strategy the right fit for the environment in which the organization competes? Be sure to select one of Porters three generic strategies and provide your rationale: Cost Leadership, Differentiation, or Focus.Organization Design Recommendations Is the organization optimally designed (structured) for either your recommended or their current strategy? For example, if they are pursuing a Cost Leadership strategy, do they have a low-cost operating model? The objective here is to determine and demonstrate the degree of fit between strategy and structure.Ethical Considerations What are some of the ethical considerations for your recommended (or current) strategy? Is the organization positioned for long-term sustainability? Are there issues which may ultimately affect the organizations ability to attract and retain talented employees or maintain the credibility of their brand? Are there potential ethical dilemmas in executing any recommended changes? The need to potentially layoff thousands of workers or stop paying for benefits such as healthcare to lower operating expenses, for example?For this assignment, you are not actually giving a presentation, but rather just preparing a slide deck that summarizes your findings and recommendations.An important step in the preparation of a speech is writing speaker notes. Speaker notes are notes added to a slide presentation as a reference for the presenter and can be found below each slide. For this touchstone, add your speaker notes to explain your analysis using information from your sources. If you were giving an oral presentation, these notes wouldn’t be visible to your audience when youre in Presenter View. But you would be able to see them, and they would guide you through your presentation.Your speaker notes will be used to evaluate your project, so make sure you write in complete sentences and pay attention to spelling and grammar. Also, make sure youre citing the information from your sources using in-text citations in APA style. These citations should include the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source, for example, (Mitchell, 2014).Most presentation software will automatically display a field for speaker notes. If using Keynote, you can access the speaker notes by clicking on View, then Show Presenter Notes.
