1. The Organisation: Mission and Current Business Model

1.1 Mission

[The purpose of this sub-section is to introduce the case organisation very briefly. What is its Mission Statement? What are its objectives? What is its overall strategy? Where does it operate? What is its size? And so on.]

1.2The Business Model

[The purpose of this sub-section is to define the current business model of the case organisation, which allows it to do what it purports to do.

2. Data Analysis and Visualisation

[The purpose of this section is to present the analysis of the data provided by the case organisation. Besides presenting your analyses through visuals, it is good practice to explain the main messages conveyed in the visuals through text. It is also important to note your method of analysis (i.e. how you analysed the data to arrive at the results), together with any limitations you observed in the dataset available or the method used (this is so that the reader of the report understands that the analysis results are contingent on a set of limiting factors). In addition to the dataset provided by the case organisation, accessing and analysing complementary data (such as those available from open data sources about grander, PESTEL-type trends) will help strengthen your analysis and is therefore highly recommended.]

3. Synthesis of Findings

[The purpose of this section is to report the emergent themes from the prior data analysis section, and attach meaning to these findings so that the case organisation would be able to implement a set of strategic actions.]

4. Data-led Strategy and Business Model Recommendations

[The purpose of this section is to step beyond the data and the findings acquired from their analyses, and to list a set of recommendations as to how the case organisation can further improve its current data-led strategy and overall business model.]

1-Page Summary

[The purpose of a 1-Page Summary is to deliver impact quickly to the audience. This is where you will do your engaging story-telling based on all of the prior analyses.]
