You are requested to prepare an outline strategy to deal with each of the following scenarios:•	Income is strong, sales are strong but we wish to position ourselves such that we will be in a position to respond to changes in the market.•	Income has been stable for the past number of years but profits are low and we don’t see potential for growth in our core business•	The company is losing money and is running out of reserves.We are looking at a 3-5 year strategy but the kick-off has to happen in early 2014.Feasibility StudyYou must present an initial feasibility study by 29 October 2013. This will take the form of a Powerpoint presentation to the Executive Board. Typically 5-6 slides this presentation should give a high level overview of your organisation, its IT structure and your expected work with it.ReportThe final report would be expected to be in the range of 15-25 pages of text plus diagrams, references, indexes, appendices. This is a team exercise but individual contributions must be identified and, of course, work should be original.
