This PPT slide, part of the 21-slide Developing Conclusions and Recommendations PowerPoint presentation, outlines a framework for understanding the 2 distinct levels of conclusions that emerge from strategic analysis. Level 1 focuses on identifying the key drivers behind an issue or problem. This involves summarizing the main causes as determined by the analysis. The judgment required at this level emphasizes the significance of the insights for the specific issue at hand, ensuring that all relevant information is included. An example provided illustrates that a decline in sales might be attributed to lower salesperson productivity rather than external market conditions.
Level 2 shifts the focus to actionable solutions. It summarizes the options available to address the identified critical causes, either individually or collectively. This level requires a different type of judgment, assessing the potential effects of various options on the underlying issues. The slide suggests that organizations might choose to retrain existing salespeople, recruit new talent, or hire additional staff to recover lost sales.
The transition from Level 1 to Level 2 is highlighted as a critical process, typically conducted through internal discussions or client workshops that facilitate brainstorming of possible solutions. This structured approach not only aids in problem identification, but also guides organizations in developing actionable strategies. The slide effectively communicates the importance of distinguishing between understanding the problem and generating viable solutions, which is crucial for effective decision-making.
This slide is part of the Developing Conclusions and Recommendations PowerPoint presentation.
