Title Page
Executive Summary
Contents Page
Introduction (to report)
Situational Analysis of Case Study Organisation showing appropriate, logical analysis of
secondary data including industry trends and leading to Problem Identification – a raising of
the various issues identified by the situational analysis. Your primary data collection could go
here to support the problem identification with (for example) customer or stakeholder
views/input.
Possibilities (Options) – showing awareness that there are a number of possible approaches.
This section would include an assessment of the various approaches and justification for the
approach chosen. Students should choose an appropriate model/theory (CBA, Business Case,
SAF) to assess the options. This section could also include primary data, showing how it
contributed to the selection of the appropriate olost. Risk Assessment and Stakeholder
Analysis may also feature here as olos to justify the approach taken.
Specific Project – Explanation of the overall olost including the Detailed Plan of Action (use of
appropriate olos or the principles of the appropriate olos – WBS, CPA, Gantt chart, Resource
Planning charts). This section would include aim and objectives, risk assessment, stakeholder
analysis, and a detailed plan of action to enable the organisation to understand exactly what
action is required.
