Once they understand the business, the team will determine a scope of work.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the team will seek to understand the root causes of any challenges facing your organization and will explore critical success factors and best practices to discover possible solutions. The student team and their coach will meet with you at the end of this phase to present their diagnostic assessment report and receive your feedback.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"likeh3 crimson\" style=\"padding-top:14px;\">Phase Three: Recommendations<\/h2>\n<p>The team will use what they have learned from the assessment to develop a set of clear, actionable alternatives for your company \u2013 and a formal recommendation. At the end of this phase, the team and their coach will meet with you to present a Recommendations Report.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"likeh3 crimson\" style=\"padding-top:14px;\">Phase Four: Implementation Plan<\/h2>\n<p>The team will spend time pulling together everything they have learned into a final implementation report that includes next steps for your company and the necessary detail to implement each of the team\u2019s recommendations. The team will present their findings to you, their coach and WSU faculty in a formal presentation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"likeh3 crimson\" style=\"padding-top:14px;\">Phase Five: Client Feedback<\/h2>\n<p>You will be asked to complete two evaluations, the first at the conclusion of the project and the last after a one-year check-in.
