As Limitless Automation plans for its next stage of growth, a deep and current understanding of the competitive environment is critical. The main objective of this project is for a learner or small team to conduct a focused competitive landscape analysis. This will provide our company with actionable insights into our market position and highlight opportunities for strategic differentiation.

Learners will engage in the following key activities:

• Researching and identifying our key direct and indirect competitors in the business process automation and consulting space.
• Analyzing competitors' service offerings, pricing models, target markets, and marketing strategies.
• Evaluating our unique value proposition in comparison to the competition.
• Identifying underserved market niches or areas where Limitless Automation can build a stronger competitive advantage.

This project offers a focused, hands-on opportunity to apply market research and strategic analysis skills to a real-world business challenge, providing tangible experience in strategic consulting.

Project outcomes and deliverables: To successfully complete this project, learners will deliver two key items that are deep in analysis rather than broad in scope. These focused deliverables are designed to be manageable within a typical academic term while providing significant value.

* SWOT Analysis: A SWOT analysis for Limitless Automation, specifically framed by the context of the competitive findings.

* Strategic Recommendations: A set of clear, data-driven recommendations for how Limitless Automation can better position itself in the market.

2. Final Summary Presentation: A professional slide deck and presentation that summarizes the key findings from the report and presents the strategic recommendations to the Limitless Automation leadership team.
