“Sniff’s Business Model”
In this activity, students invent a business and participate as Sniff to discover changes that could be made to the business to improve practices; then they develop a plan to implement changes the way Scurry might.
Now that you have eavesdropped on Michael’s class reunion, hearing his ideas about change and some stories about how these ideas apply to businesses and relationships, consider how this approach to adaptability could improve the performance of an imaginary company.
- Invent a company in a particular industry and use some of the latest techniques to “sniff out” changes the company needs to make to adapt to change. What shifts or changes might be on the horizon that the company will need to address?
- Describe how you, like Scurry, would go about making the necessary changes in the company’s business model.
- In your model, include details to convince Hem and Haw to embrace the changes to the company’s vision.
- Pitch your new business model to the company’s employees, describing your execution plan in a slideshow presentation delivered by Sniff and Scurry.
