What idea do you have to improve something at your job, your organization, or in your community?Who would care about this idea? In other words, who should be your intended audience?

Persuasive Communication

You need to begin preparing for subsequent activities related to the Final Recommendation Report due in Module 8. See the Final Recommendation Report Flow Chart.docx to get an idea of what is coming.

In other words, you must consider the scope of your topic; you cannot attempt, for example, to solve the rising student debt crisis in the United States; nor can you attend to the refusal of some organizations to require face masks in their establishments during the pandemic.

Once you have decided upon a topic as the focus for your final report, you will then write a letter to your instructor identifying the problem or opportunity you wish to research and write about in that final report.

Consider the following as you complete this exercise:

1) What idea do you have to improve something at your job, your organization, or in your community?

Is it a new process or policy?

Is it a new position that should be created?

Is it a new program that could be created?

2) Who would care about this idea? In other words, who should be your intended audience?

Is it your boss? Your boss’s boss? A board? An elected official?

What will you need to do in your final report to convince your audience that your idea or solution is worth implementing?
