1) Updated and finalize your strategic plan to include the
following:

• Executive
Summary (2-page maximum).

• PCC’s
background, organizational mission, vision, and value statements.

• Note. For
a start-up, focus on the backgrounds and accomplishments of key anticipated
management personnel. The goal is to convince the investor that these
individuals are trustworthy and successful.

• Environmental
scan.

• Review of
strategies and a recommendation for the best strategy for PCC.

• Implementation
plan: Include objectives, functional tactics, action items, milestones, tasks,
resource allocation, and a deadline.

• Analysis
of key success factors for plan implementation, including discussion of cash
budget and forecasted financials, including a break-even chart.

• Risk
management plan, including contingency plans for identified risks (I used
material requirements planning (MRP) as the contingency plan).

• Any
change management strategies that would enhance successful implementation.

2) Prepare a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation of no more
than 10 slides with detailed speaker notes. The focus is to sell the
recommendations to the board or venture capital firm and obtain approval for
funding your plan.
