​Abstract:

On February 4, 2019 Dastiger Khan, CEO of Guard-Ex Corporation and his team were preparing for a meeting with the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police to present the implementation plan for the new cannabis screening device their firm had designed and developed – the GX420. Guard-Ex was part of the Waterloo Accelerator Center’s JumpStart program located within the Schlegel Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario Canada. Khan wondered what implementation strategy Guard-Ex should adopt to achieve the firm’s goal of becoming a global leader in the emerging marijuana screening device industry.
