Overview
You are excited to see the possibilities after finishing the Business Model Canvas Template. The next step is the development of the BMC slide deck for review by the experienced former project manager mentioned in the Module Four assignment.

Scenario
In the BMC slide deck, you will make educated assumptions (based on research in Marketline, Yahoo Finance, or the company’s website) about your selected company’s resources, partnerships, cost structures (what needs to be paid for), how the product or service will be marketed, value delivery (product sold online, in-store, or both), and the unique value proposition for a specific targeted market segment.

All 9 segments of your redeveloped BMC must encompass elements to achieve new product/service feasibility.

Beyond profitability, other key elements that the experienced project manager stressed were diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), as well as corporate social responsibility (CSR). In the marketplace, companies that have diverse project teams get varied perspectives that help the overall project. Just as important, companies that “give back” to the communities they serve do better and are supported by millennial buyers—a big target segment for many companies.

Financials, DEI, and CSR must be addressed in the funding pitch, which you will complete as your course project, due in Module Seven.

Prompt
You will create a slide deck that will help you expand on your BMC chart in detail as you refine how your selected company will create value for itself while delivering a new product or service for customers. Complete the Milestone Two Template linked in the Guidelines for Submission section for this assignment.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

Deliver a unique value proposition.
Leveraging the blue ocean strategy, what makes the product or service unique?

Revenue models
Price points for the product/service
Key activities for the value proposition (product or service)

Check your assumptions
Complete the assumptions chart
Prepare to meet customers.

ETPI article uploaded

You are the Union President and have been tasked with developing the Union proposals for the upcoming negotiations with. Your members had a 1% increase in wages for each of the three previous years of the current three-year agreement. You know, for a fact, that Management employees received a 5% annual pay increase, 500% more than your members. Your members know this as well, and they are livid. Your Union members have charged you with doing far more in the upcoming negotiations, as a 1% increase in wages is far less than the current rate of inflation and they have told you in no uncertain terms they will not stand for any more such treatment.

While the Management team has attempted to keep salary increases a secret you know from talking with many salary employees that HCC managers received 5% across-the-board annual raises for each of the past three years which has caused considerable resentment among your union rank-and-file. You have heard that future managerial compensation increases will take the form of at-risk annual lump-sum bonuses based on achieving the projected strategic yearly goals in Item 1 over the next three years.

You are also hearing rumors that Management is planning significant investments into the site to upgrade its production equipment. Overall, this is a good sign, as a large capital investment means the plant will stay, but you have also heard that this new equipment will eliminate 30-50 Production employee jobs. This reduction will be a major issue for your members, as you are not interested in bargaining jobs away.

The average hourly wage for Production employees at the site is $16.00 per hour. The employees work a 40-hour week. Little to no overtime is worked. Thus, the average annual wage for Production employees equals $33,280 dollars per year. There are currently 1000 Union production workers in the bargaining unit.

You are planning on starting negotiations with the Company with a proposed 8% annual increase in wages for each of the following three years. Your minimum level of wage increase is 3% per year.

For the purpose of this exercise, you will cost out proposals for only the first year of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.

In previous negotiations in years past the Management negotiation team has always stated they may elect to lockout labor at any time if it believes that no reasonable progress has been made in negotiations. However, you know that work stoppages will severely damage HCC customer relationships and its valued reputation as a firm dedicated to the prompt delivery of quality products. This is to your advantage

HCC employees currently have a first-dollar (no deductible or co-pay) health benefits package that costs $3,500 annually per employee. If left unchanged, the cost of health benefits is expected to increase 10% annually for each of the next three years.

You have heard through the grapevine that Management is seeking to drop the current health care plan and substitute it with an HMO-type plan, that costs less and has an annual deductible. This is not acceptable to you or the Union members, as your members have zero interest in changing to an HMO style medical plan. There have been far too many issues with employees in other firms being denied surgery or their choice of doctors that are outside of the HMO plan. You and your members have no interest in changing your medical plan, and your objective is to keep it exactly as it is

The current contract includes six paid holidays and two days of miscellaneous leave. For costing purposes – each holiday costs the company, on average, a total of $128,000 ($16/hour x 8 hours x 1000 employees = $128,000). The Union members has made it clear to you they. believe they deserve two additional holidays per year, which can be fixed or floating.

For or every 1% increase in hourly wages the total increase in cost equals per year, and compounded every year thereafter (1.00% increase x $16/hour x 2080 hours per year x 1000 employees equals $332,800). Your bottom line of 3% will equal close to $1 million dollars to your members

The 2nd shift differential is currently $0.15 cents per hour and hasn’t been increased in two decades. This is very low; Your going in position is to propose an increase to $1.00 per hour, with your lowest acceptable differential at $0.50 per hour. There are 300 Union employees on 2nd

The 3rd shift differential is currently $0.25 cents per hour, and hasn’t been increased in two decades. This is very low; Your going in position is to propose an increase to $1.00 per hour, with your lowest acceptable differential at $0.50 per hour. There are 300 Union employees on 3rd

Your Challenge by Union Members
The Union members have heard rumors of a layoff if new automated equipment is added. They are in favor of upgrading the antiquated equipment. They want you to ensure a fair severance package is negotiated, allowing enough employees to voluntarily retire, with severance, to avoid any involuntary layoffs.
In summary – Your Union members have charged you to negotiate nothing less than the following:

A minimum 3% raise for each year of the new agreement
Two additional paid holidays per year
A 50 cents per hour increase in 2nd
