About this lesson

This video walks you through the five key feasibility factors: current finance and ability to raise funds, physical resources and materials, people and skills, and change management capability. You'll see these concepts applied to real-world examples including Blockbuster's failed subscription pivot and Saudi Aramco's abandoned solar project, then work through an exam-style question to practise identifying feasibility barriers. Understanding feasibility is essential for Strategic Business Leader (SBL) and other strategy-focused papers, where you'll need to evaluate whether organisations can actually execute their plans, not just whether the plans look good on paper. The five factors form a practical framework you can apply to any case study or scenario: can they afford it, do they have the physical assets and materials, do they have the right people, and critically, can they manage the organisational change required? This recording equips you to spot when ambitious strategies fail not because they're poorly designed, but because organisations can't realistically implement them given their constraints and stakeholder pressures.
