Consulting Project

Consulting Project: Reflection

Instructions: Based on your work in previous modules, reflect on the process. What issues could you see arising? How would you deal with them? Try to include references discussed throughout this course.

A major deliverable for this course is the Consulting Project for which students will write a problem identification, request for proposal (RFP), a corresponding contract, and a reflection paper about the process of developing the RFP and contract. Make sure to include references discussed throughout this course.

Your Consulting Project will have these four elements:

· Problem Identification

· Request for Proposal

· Contract

· Reflection Paper

In this Consulting Project, you will submit the Reflection Paper. Reflect on the process of writing the RFP and contact proposal. What issues could you see arising? How would you deal with them? Try to include references discussed throughout this course. Your paper should be a minimum of five pages in length, not including cover page and references.

In 3-2 Consulting Project, deal with Problem Identification. You must define a problem that needs resolution. It could be an organizational culture issue that impedes work, a communication issue, or an “elephant in the room”. Consider issues your own company has faced. Explain the problem in detail. Your Problem Identification should be a minimum of one page in length.

In 4-3 Request for Proposal, deal with the Request for Proposal. Write an RFP that defines the issue and the type of help you are looking for.

In 5-3 Consulting Project, deal with the Contract. You will develop a contract in response to the RFP that you have created. Using the steps in the Flawless Consulting textbook, explain how you should go about identifying the root cause of the problem. Be detailed and don’t leave any steps out.
