Students will develop a strategic roadmap for each program, one aimed at small business owners and another at BIPOC women. The ultimate goal is to provide Achieve Potential Inc. with data-driven insights and a clear strategy to successfully launch and grow these initiatives.
- Goal 1: Market Analysis & Forecasting π Students will conduct a thorough market analysis and use forecasting methods to predict demand and potential market share for each program. This involves gathering data on target demographics, competitors, and market trends.
- Goal 2: Strategy Development πΊοΈ Based on their forecasting and research, students will design a strategic plan for market entry. This includes identifying key opportunities, mitigating risks, and proposing a value proposition for each program that resonates with its target audience.
- Goal 3: Deliverables & Presentation π£οΈ Students will produce a detailed market entry feasibility report for each program and present their findings and recommendations to the Achieve Potential Inc. leadership team. The final deliverable will be a professional, actionable plan that the organization can use for its program launch.
