Directions:
Develop
a proposed solution and implementation strategy
1. Problem solution, long
and short term.
2. Justification: Research
support - justify your solution based on material discussed in class, presented
in the readings, or using outside research support.
3. Argument: Organizational
context - justify your solution based on the information you have collected
from the organization, i.e., independent of the research support, what ‘hard’
report from the organization leads you to believe your solution will be
appropriate?
4. Implementation
Strategy. How do you plan to implement the proposed solution? What
sustainability and resilience aspects do you recommend the organization/program
adopts? Make sure you support your recommendations by drawing from research,
including outside sources, and detail your plan to implement the proposed
solution.
5. Measurements and Reporting: How do you plan to measure outcomes? How will the outcomes be tied to the budget of the organization? Who will be the champions for specific outcomes and results, whether you decide to use indicators or targets? How will you report the implementation of activities and strategies?
