The PPT shared looks excellent, though I must confess I have not done a detailed study of the same. The Word document on assessing your strategic thinking needs extensive proofreading. For example, in Point 4, the word "Tall" appears instead of "all." In Point 11, the word "Team" should appear instead of "Term." In Point 32, the word "collection" seems to be the wrong word, and the sentence is not comprehensible. In a few sentences, the word "mu" has to be replaced by "my."

Unfortunately, the other Word document, "Strategy," also seems to need extensive proofreading. For instance, the very first sentence has the word "Cruel," which has no relevance to the thought expressed in the sentence. The next sentence has the word "into" instead of "to," thereby making the reading very jarring.

Since I have only had a cursory glance, I would not be able to share my thoughts on the contents but am taking the liberty of sharing my immediate reactions so that my feedback can help you take corrective action.

A very good presentation. I wish to add the following:

SLIDE 2

Good Point: To be a catalyst and not a control point.

POINT TO WATCH: Whether initial assumptions are holding good throughout the implementation phase is to be ascertained periodically.

EXIT STRATEGY: How are the returns planned so as to have a smooth exit strategy? That is, the benefits of a new strategy get easily copied, and hence the returns will be diluted. A niche market suddenly becomes flooded with many players.

SLIDE 24

Concept correction: Any demanding activity would produce stress. Stress has to be coped with. It cannot be the reason for giving up. Instead, intermediate results would give an idea of whether to pursue or not.

SLIDE 20

Spelling correction: team boos its is to be replaced by team boost its.

SLIDE 21

Spelling correction: SWOT summery is to be replaced by SWOT summary.

SLIDE 26

Spelling correction: what in conceived is to be replaced by what is conceived.

SLIDE 27

Concept correction: Need for equity is to be replaced by Need for equality OR equanimity. Equity in the Indian context is used more as a financial term.

SLIDE 28

Grammar correction: Should be look is to be replaced by Should look.

SLIDE 33

Grammar correction: completely understands their is to be replaced by completely understand their.

SLIDE 35

A better usage: you react to change is to be replaced by you respond to change.

The PPT shared looks excellent. However, the grounds on which you are presenting this are important. Only then can we suggest things from our end.
