I am working on my EMBRYO case for SCR. This will be a very robust case regarding
SunSource’s exponential growth and the role of leadership development in this growth.
The questions I would like help with are as follows:
• Although I have permission from the CEO to write this case, and am interviewing him, I
expect there will be a balance between providing needed details and “trade secrets”.
• How to maintain the story and interest throughout as providing the facts (right hook?)
• Can I focus solely on this organization, or do I need to provide external forces data?
• Confirm the LOs to theory as I get into the challenges they addressed along the way.
• Although growth is driven by private equity/M&A activity, the success of this is
attributed to “the Joining Forces” mindset and the Leadership Institute training.
• I will be writing this case over the summer, so there is a possibility that the case may take
a slightly different turn prior to the workshop (though unlikely).
