You are required to produce a podcast to be uploaded to a closed Youtube account. (Refer to the instructions under the General Resources tab).
Review the work you did in the group assessment for the review of the strategic position of an entity and now consider YOURSELF the most important entity of all. You have stakeholders, you have competencies, you have aspirations, you have performance pressures and you likely do not have a strategic plan in place against which you measure yourself regularly.
Present a short and succinct strategic review of yourself as a sustainable, productive entity and provide specific and well-supported conclusions and recommendations. Use the format of the group strategic report, obviously in a much scaled-back scope, to cover important areas that apply to yourself.

Can you somewhat objectively analyse yourself using the appropriate strategic analysis tool(s)?
