Case Study Analysis
Learning Outcome 1: Critically analyse the role that best practices play in organisational competitiveness
Learning Outcome 2: Evaluate organisational performance against best practice benchmarks and apply these benchmarks to establish organisational improvements
Context
In Assessment 1 you reviewed an organisation's current strategy, analysed its performance using 4 benchmarks, reviewed its main competitors, the business environment in which it operates, and identified its main weakness.
The organisation now has an opportunity to address that weakness, and as such, solutions must be developed and assessed with a view of their holistic effects on the business's long- term direction. This "future-proofing" assessment asks you to build on your understanding of benchmarking by developing options related to the opportunity for business improvement identified in Case Study Analysis; Part A. Your analysis should specify a range of benchmarks by which the organisation's executive can track progress and/or measure the impact of changes.
These options are intended to inform decisions made by executive management about the future direction of the organisation. As such, you should write a report for executive management that recommends a particular course of action and the benchmarks by which its progress and success can be measured.
Instructions

2. From the 3 options, choose the one (1) option you believe will ensure the
business's long-term success, and,
