Instructions

The goal of this assignment is to convince leadership at the company to accept your recommendation and implement the strategies in your proposal.

Important: In this assignment, you will combine the three assignments (PPT decks) together into a single, final pitch deck that could be presented to your company leadership. Be sure you have made the necessary changes to your previous assignments based on instructor feedback. You will also update your Sources slide to include all resources used throughout the project.

The assignment must be completed in the provided PowerPoint template.
