Executive Overview
CanGo is a successful company that wants to expand and ensure its continued success. In order to accomplish this task, Liz the CEO has hired Forward Progress to examine current management practices at CanGo and provide a report outlining deficiencies and resolutions. Forward Progress has observed the interactions of top executives, operations managers, and the rest of the staff at CanGo to determine what processes and efficiencies we can recommend to help them in their endeavors. Below is a list of issues that we have observed along with our recommendations on how CanGo can learn and grow from these experiences in order to build a stronger, more successful organization.
Issue #1
Strategic Management
Liz is the owner of the company and she is having trouble articulating the how and why she started the business and why they are successful.

To continue to grow the business, we suggest she develop a strategic plan starting with a mission statements, goals, and visions for the company and sharing that with the employees of CanGo.
Resolution

It is important for a company, such as CanGo, to have well defined mission, vision, and value statements in order to move forward. There is a famous quote from Alice in Wonderland that
