Hello Class, Two Ways to Track Success of Plan
Client Feedback
Client feedback should be constant and regular
Regular feedback can result in real time adjustment if needed
Adjustments and feedback can lead to product or service innovations
Client Retention and Loyalty
Tracking system for returning customers
Customer referrals increase
Increase in customer service satisfaction Possible Risk- One risk face by Bath & Body Works is competitive brands that have a stringer brand name. For example Victoria Secrets is a company that has more brand power that Bath & Body Works and have a wider range of products. Strategy to Mitigate- Bath & Body Works can broaden its product line to include clothing and apparel. Bath & Body Works can also increase its international sales and open more international locations. Strategy for responding to stakeholders:
1. Firsts I would determine the reason for stakeholder feedback or concern. Whether is be a suggestion or concern I would identify the reasoning. 2. Second I would create a communication plan. I would communicate to stakeholder that I understand their reason and reveals a plan for addressing their concerns. Week 11 Discussion – ROI Journal

Brianna Day
In this class, I have learned that effective communication and strategic communication are pivotal skills for both professional and personal success. Effective communication involves not only conveying messages clearly and concisely but also actively listening and adapting to the needs of the audience. Strategic communication, on the other hand, requires planning and delivering messages that align with overarching goals and objectives. These skills have taught me the importance of tailoring my communication style to different contexts, whether it’s crafting a persuasive business proposal or addressing a personal concern with empathy and clarity. The ability to communicate strategically allows for better alignment of team efforts and enhances overall productivity and morale.
Time management is another critical skill I have honed through this class. By prioritizing tasks, setting realistic deadlines, and utilizing tools such as calendars and project management software, I have learned to manage my time more efficiently, leading to reduced stress and increased productivity. This skill is equally valuable in personal life, helping to balance work, family, and personal commitments. Additionally, the class has highlighted how minor adjustments in a business, such as streamlining processes or improving internal communication channels, can lead to significant improvements in efficiency and performance. For instance, implementing regular team meetings to ensure alignment or adopting new technologies to facilitate better workflow can dramatically enhance a business’s operations. These lessons underscore the importance of continual learning and adaptability in both professional and personal spheres, demonstrating how small changes can yield substantial benefits.
One of my challenges in the class was time management, as balancing multiple assignments and deadlines alongside other personal and professional responsibilities often felt overwhelming. To overcome this, I implemented prioritization techniques and utilized tools like planners and project management software, which helped me organize tasks more effectively and stay on track.
I grew from this challenge by developing stronger organizational skills and becoming more disciplined in managing my time. This experience taught me the value of setting priorities, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and maintaining a consistent schedule, which has improved my efficiency and reduced stress in both academic and personal contexts.

Your Business Portfolio
Throughout your journey in the program, you have completed many deliverables that could be added to a professional business portfolio to share with future employers. It is recommended that you add one core assignment to the business portfolio in each course within the program. These assignments will demonstrate your strategic thinking in each area, and they will also reflect your own growth and development.
This will be your business portfolio assignment for this course.
Overview
Throughout this course, you have created assignments for a business consulting pitch deck. In your Week 3 assignment you shared important data and insights about your company. In Week 6 you analyzed the data and provided a targeted recommendation for the challenge or opportunity faced by the company. In this assignment, you will continue in your role as a hired consultant and compile an implementation plan that addresses communication, collaboration, motivation, and return on investment. This is your final (cumulative) pitch deck presentation.
Instructions
The goal of this assignment is to convince leadership at the company to accept your recommendation and implement the strategies in your proposal.
Important: In this assignment you will combine the three assignments (PPT decks) together into a single, final pitch deck that could be presented to your company leadership. Be sure you have made the necessary changes to your previous assignments based on instructor feedback. You will also update your Sources slide to include all resources used throughout the project.
The assignment must be completed in the provided PowerPoint template.
Download and save the Week 9_Assignment_Template [PPTX] Download Week 9_Assignment_Template [PPTX].
Follow the guidelines provided in the Strayer Library: SWS Guidelines for Slideshow Presentations.
Review the rubric carefully before you begin working on the assignment.
Review and incorporate the instructor feedback from your week 3 and week 6 assignments. Those slides will be incorporated into this deck and submitted as part of this assignment for the full presentation.
Using the template, complete seven additional slides that will be the final part of a pitch deck for the company that hired you as a business consultant. Each slide should include 1-2 paragraphs of speaker notes that will be utilized to explain the content to the company leadership.
Important note: This final presentation will be 20 slides in total: five content slides from assignment #1 [exclude the title and sources slides], six slides from assignment #2 [exclude the title and sources slides], and nine slides from this assignment [including a title slide and cumulative sources slide].
Slide 1: Title slide. Add the name of the company as a subtitle and your name and the date.
Slide 2: Describe the potential impact of not acting on the selected challenge or opportunity. Use data to support your conclusion. (Detailed explanation should be placed in the speaker notes.)
Slide 3: Evaluate the potential return on investment (ROI) for acting on this challenge or opportunity. Use data to support your explanation. (Detailed explanation should be placed in the speaker notes.)
Slide 4: Implementation strategy that advises the company’s leadership on how to create a sense of urgency and shared mission around implementing the business consulting plan. (Detailed explanation should be placed in the speaker notes.)
Slides 5-8 will come from your Week 7 communication plan. (Note: Be sure you have addressed and incorporated instructor feedback.)
Slide 5: State the overall objective of the communication plan and the key stakeholders who are directly or indirectly impacted by the recommended strategy. Indicate if the stakeholder will be leading or following the change(s). (Detailed explanation should be placed in the speaker notes.)
Slide 6: Determine the appropriate stakeholder communication channels to provide information and actively listen to concerns or recommendations. Explain how this is inclusive and motivating to the organizational culture. (Detailed explanation should be placed in the speaker notes.)
Slide 7: Provide a timeline for the implementation including important milestones and deadlines. (Detailed explanation should be placed in the speaker notes.)
Slide 8: Summarize the next steps in the recommendation and specify the key individuals or departments responsible for executing and overseeing the implementation plan. This promotes accountability and clarity in the process. (Detailed explanation should be placed in the speaker notes.)
Slide 9: Sources slide. Use three or more quality sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source slide at least one time within your assignment. (Note: The final sources slide should be cumulative to include all sources used in the three assignments.)

Combine all of your slides from week 3, week 6, and this week’s assignment together into one singular presentation file. This is your full pitch deck that you would present to the company leadership. (Note: See the guide in the resources section for help on how to reuse and combine slides together in a PowerPoint presentation.)
Produce writing that is clear and well organized and applies appropriate Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) style. Writing contains accurate grammar, mechanics, and spelling.
