Topics: (choose ONE):
new computer system or software upgrade,
new policy or procedure,
employee/member moral or team building initiatives,
other change that needs to be implemented within your organization, or
be creative!
Guidelines:
use APA style
may use direct or indirect strategy
Consider your audience’s likely reaction to
your ideas to help you choose and make a more impactful report.
Format:
Use memo style format with date, to, from, and subject.
Include headings for each of your sections (examples below):
1. Significance of Problem: explain the issue/problem you want to change.
2. Alternatives/Solutions 1, 2, and 3: this section should include three recommendations describing benefits
(pros), disadvantages (cons), and any costs associated with your solutions. This could be a strategic place to
include paraphrased or quoted content from a source to support your viewpoint or to show costs.
3. Conclusions and Recommendations: summarize your ideas and end with your specific recommendation.
