Structure - A 2,500-word business report to the Board of Directors of the company, in the capacity of a CX strategy consultant. There are many ways to construct a report and the following is only a suggestion:

Title page: your reader's first impression of the report. It should be succinct but still describe the report's contents so that it can be distinguished easily from other reports. Comprehensive list of contents: a table of contents could help the reader to find specific information in the report quickly. This includes page numbers and any additional sections such as appendices and bibliography.

Report: covers your answers to the requirements one to eight as listed above.

Appendices: Appendices contain additional information which would be too detailed to include in the main body. Typical examples of information included in appendices can be glossaries (if it is a technical report), tables with supporting statistical data, examples of research and so on.

References list: if you have consulted any source, either printed or on-line, you must include it in the list of your references and dates of internet access where applicable. For more information on referencing and the Harvard system access the link given in the General Assessment Guidance above.
