Choose an organization according to the following:
a) Current employer
b) Most recent or former employer
c) Place of business that you have patronized or have been familiar with over a long period of time.
d) Avoid choosing an organization that is so large that historical data would be difficult to apply. Firms in the Russell 2000® index may fit well, whereas firms in the Dow 30 Industrial index probably do not. Do not choose companies that do not need help developing a new strategy. For example, Apple, Starbucks, Disney, Nike, etc.
