Your assignment should include: a title page containing your student number, the module name, the submission deadline and a word count; the appendices if relevant; and a reference list in Arden University (AU) Harvard format. You should address all the elements of the assignment task listed below. Please note that tutors will use the assessment criteria set out below in assessing your work.

Assignment Task

Write and present a proposal to conduct a consulting project on an issue or problem in an organisation of your choice. The proposal should include the following:

1. An analysis of the issues with a clear statement of needs and benefits.

2. A description of how you would approach the problem.

3. A discussion of how much you would charge to complete the project and how long it would take.

4. A section explaining why the company should hire you to perform the work.

Note: Higher marks will be gained by proposals that are client-centred and sufficiently persuasive so as to increase the likelihood of getting the project bid accepted.

The proposal assignment will consist of two parts:

1. A formal written proposal (3000 words)

2. A PowerPoint presentation for a hypothetical 15 minute oral proposal. nb. The audience for both of these is the client.

The report carries 75% of the marks and the Presentation 25%

Submission - Important note: This should be inserted into the appendices section of your report as follows: once you have prepared your PPT go to the ‘File' menu, click ‘Save as Pictures...' this will save each slide as a separate JPEG or TIFF file. These can then be copy and pasted into the report. Please note: this PPT must be pasted into the appendices and not embedded as a separate file.
