You will draw upon your knowledge and skills around operations, finance, marketing, leadership, etc. for each homework. The homeworks will be completed in a PowerPoint presentation template and will be combined into a final pitch deck that you can add to your portfolio. In your homework you shared important data and insights about your company. In this homework, you will continue in your role as a hired consultant and analyze that data to create a recommendation for your company to either solve a problem or capitalize on an opportunity. This will be the 2nd part of your pitch deck presentation.
