HOW EACH BUSINESS CASE IS STRUCTURED
- A.Each business case below includes a scenario, an OFA 1 exercise, and a short "Looking Ahead" note previewing what the same business case asks of an OFA 2.
- B.The OFA 1 exercise is scoped to contribution under guidance, consistent with everything this curriculum teaches.
- C.The OFA 2 preview is included only so a learner can see the shape of what comes next, not as something to attempt now.
- D.Where useful, each business case also includes a worked example excerpt showing what a thorough, finished deliverable looks like.
- E.Some of these examples reflect the fuller scope of ownership that arrives at OFA 2.
- F.They are included here as a preview of the standard of rigor this curriculum is building toward, not as artifacts an OFA 1 is expected to produce unsupervised.
III.
ABOUT THESE SCENARIOS
- A.These scenarios are illustrative and written around the kinds of initiatives common across the Church's local unit, missionary, temple, and member-facing systems, but they are not descriptions of any specific real project.
- B.A mentor should feel free to substitute a real, active initiative wherever one is available, using the structure below as the template.
