Business Healthcare Capstone Project

I chose McKesson Corporation. McKesson is a medical supplies and pharmaceutical distributor. I chose to speak about how the company needs to hire more truck drivers since deliveries to hospitals and pharmacies are being delayed due to worker shortages.

As the incoming Chief Executive Officer, reporting to the Board of Directors, you are responsible for strategic planning and the alignment of people, processes and resources needed to implement your long- term vision.

Through this project you will apply what you have learned in the JWMI MBA program to a real-world situation. Your task is to convince your Board of Directors that you have a credible plan that will not only improve the organization’s performance over the next year, but position the company for significant long- term growth that will keep it ahead of the competition.

Successful completion of the Healthcare (HC) Capstone Project will demonstrate your ability to analyze, interpret, synthesize, and communicate with a “CEO mindset.”

This project has two major components:

• Part 1 – Presentation Game Plan (Due: Week 2)
  This part of the Healthcare Capstone project is designed help you gather and organize the information that will be a part of the presentation of your strategic initiative. It is presented as a “Game Plan” designed to help guide you through your preparation for your presentation to the Board. While such documents can never be exhaustive, this experience should provide you with a model that will not only help you prepare for Part 2 of the Capstone Project, but will guide you as you continue your career beyond JWMI.
  1. You must have access to current, accurate, and objectively verifiable data. This includes financial data and any other information required for your analyses, recommendations, and implementation. You are responsible for reviewing the project requirements (details below) and ensuring you are able to secure access to any missing information as soon as possible.
  2. If you have selected a publicly traded company, you are expected to use their annual, semi- annual, or quarterly reports as part of your analysis of the organization and market. If you chose a privately-held company, you must include independently audited financial data that is sufficiently detailed to support your analysis. “Self- reported” financial (and other) information is suspect, since those who provide the information often have something to gain by portraying their organizations in a certain way to the public.
• Your Game Plan is a working document that is intended help you organize your findings and make sure you address all the key elements that are critical to the success of your pitch. Additionally, it will serve as a “touchpoint” between you and your professor. It is an opportunity for you to get feedback that may identify flaws in your logic or missing content that could undermine your presentation, if left unaddressed.Your professor will review your Game Plan and provide comments and questions where needed to help you strengthen your presentation. Because this is a working document, brief notes, bullet items, short paragraphs, and references to sources are all acceptable and useful formats. Note that your Game Plan must be clear and complete enough that it makes sense, without being overly wordy.
