Main objectives of the Assessment Individual Analysis (100%)
In Week 14, you are tasked with creating a video presentation on the company you selected in Assignment 1. This presentation must move beyond reviewing past strategic decisions and instead provide forward-looking recommendations on how the organisation can enhance its decision-making and risk management over the next 3–5 years.
Strong emphasis should be placed on critical thinking, originality, and thorough secondary research. Any AI tools must only be used within the limits of the Amber guidance under CELT’s Traffic Light System, serving to complement rather than replace your own analysis. All use of AI must be transparently acknowledged.
A recorded presentation of strictly no more than 8 minutes should cover the following:
