Question: Identify an important managerial challenge facing his or her work or other organization. Develop a plan that integrates effective financial and operational decision making to successfully meet this challenge and improve organizational performance, in a succinct report that includes an executive summary.
Clarification:
The key to a successful EOSP is to comply carefully with the tasking, stated here with bolding to draw attention to key elements:
What is a succinct report? Could it be 10 pages or less? One reads that IBM decision papers are limited to that length, and we all recall the single-sheet Ringo Sho approach to important decisions at Toyota.
As to overall plan format, I-B-C is, as always, recommended for your consideration.
A results-filled executive summary (ES) should lead off the plan.
