Professional Paper “Go big or go home”

All of you aspire to advance in your career or you would not be investing in your professional development by working towards an MBA. This paper is meant to get you “thinking bigger” about making a serious professional contribution to your company or industry. In order to make big vertical moves, you must think like an entrepreneur. Start building your professional portfolio if you are just starting, or add to it by thinking outside the box. Consider top leaders across a variety of industries, not only are they excellent at what they do, but also, they are willing to take risks and be entrepreneurial. They are true outliers. Humans typically revert to “average” because it is a comfortable state. You are already on your way; however, I encourage you to use this paper project as a starting point to stretch yourself a little beyond your comfort zone. Use this “requirement” and thinking time involved to consider how you might make a bigger impact.

Pick an operations or supply chain area that interests you and consider how you can contribute by solving a problem or coming up with an innovation for a product, process or service by applying OM/OR/SCM techniques. There are a ton of methods that can be considered regardless of the industry you’re in. You may also consider ways that typical OM/OR/SCM solution methods could be applied in an unconventional way. For a theoretical example, the transportation method is meant to solve for shortest distances or lowest costs between supply and demand centers. This method can be formulated as a specialized linear programming problem and can be applied to solve scheduling problems among others. For a practical example, another semester I had a police officer in the course. He in particular did not think anything in operations applied to his situation. However, after a short conversation about viewing who or what your customer is through various lenses, he was able to suggest a major improvement to the booking process by developing a flowchart and analyzing the bottlenecks. There are many other examples. Please feel free to use me as a resource. Once you have a topic/problem to solve/innovation to deploy, I am happy to consult with you on potential solution methods or tools you might develop if you need suggestions.

Max of 25 pages you may add appendices for additional data, charts, graphs etc. Any additional material should be clearly addressed within your paper and referenced accordingly. The most pertinent data/charts/graphs should be summarized and included in the appropriate section within the text. Remember to cite sources. Key paper components should include (you may include additional or sub-sections relevant to your work):

·Title page.

·Table of contents.

·Introduction – Main issues, what are you doing, why are you doing it, key outcomes/learnings (in other words, how does this work contribute by solving a problem or innovating in your field).

·Background/Problem Statement – Go into a more detail describing your topic, a good time to bring in other context (i.e. current vs ideal, yours vs. competitor or industry standard, political, cultural, economic, regulatory landscape) relevant to set the stage for your paper.

·Methods – Explain your methods and any data used for analysis, in other words, describe your decision making process to solve the problem with the solution methods or topic tools you have chosen.

·Analysis and Results – Explain your analysis, what are your results or expected results.

·Recommendations and Conclusions – discuss your results and contributions/potential contributions.
