Systems Thinking for Good, Part 2
This week, you will return to the business report you began working on in Week 6. As a reminder, you have assumed the role of a consultant who has been asked by the upper management team to evaluate an organizational performance problem within an organization. You will present your findings in the form of a written report with an executive summary presented as a PowerPoint presentation. The organization for this evaluation is one that you selected and with which you are very familiar. You will continue your business report using that selected organization.
As you complete Part 2 of your business report, remember to include specific examples from the organization as well as relevant citations from the Learning Resources, the Walden Library, and/or other appropriate academic sources to support your evaluation.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Return to the same business report template you utilized in Week 6. With the research and readings from Week 6 and Week 7 in mind, incorporate any feedback, as needed, into your report as you complete Part 2.
By Day 7
Submit Part 2 of your business report, to include the following:
