Content/Format: This major project is to produce a final comprehensive report based on the two minor projects you’ve done so far. Fundamentally, this project allows you to use both the "art" and the "science" of managerial planning by developing your research skills in competitive analysis, applying the managerial frameworks learned in class, and using your imagination and judgment to formulate the recommendations. There are two options for the Major Project. You are to choose one based on the needs of the organization and your assessment. Option 1 is the development of a Quality Management Plan Option 2 is the development of an Organizational Management Plan (I choose this one) Choose one option and follow the outline in the development of the plan. The plan should be clear, concise, and thorough. The plan should provide actionable items to aid in organizational development and performance. You are to provide recommendations that incorporate lean methodologies learned in this course as well as a focus on the development and implementation of human, spiritual, social, and structural capital to achieve organizational objectives. The plan should be professionally designed and worthy of submission to the company owner(s), executives, the board of directors, or management teams.
