Final Recommendation Report

Here are some links to our final recommendation report as well as our PowerPoint presentation.  As a group, we were happy with our report.  We felt that we researched some good ideas to help our client with their problem. 

Although we did not go into too much detail concerning how to accomplish each task, we felt that we offered our client a good starting point concerning some ideas that maybe that had not thought of. 

I understand that there are going to be some errors that we did not catch in this report but this was my first recommendation report.  I feel that this was a good learning experience and I know now what changes I can make in the future if I am ever required to write a recommendation for another client. 

This report had many different parts to it.  We had to develop a work plan and write progress reports concerning the status of our report at different intervals.  I see now why all these aspects of report writing are needed.   

As for the assignment as a grade, I feel that there was a miscommunication concerning what was required of us as a group.  We were under the impression that we were supposed to develop ideas for our client to use and were not required to get too detailed in our report. 

I blame myself seeing that we probably should have talked with Dr. Fricke more about our report.  I should have made sure that we were are the right track rather than assuming that we were doing all that was required of us. 

This was a good experience though, I had working with the group, especially on the day of our presentation and I leaned a lot about myself. 

 

Mowing Proposal Report

  I was excited about this assignment because I was going to have full creative control over the assignment.  There was no true template for writing this assignment.  I was able to choose my rates, letterhead, font, images to use and overall format of the proposal.

This assignment proved to be a bit more involved than I anticipated.  I had fun creating the idea of my lawn care business but I failed to present my information that was clear and concise.  This proposal was a valuable learning experience for me.

I feel that I did a good job of listing my rates and did an alright job listing information that may have been useful to potential clients, but I failed to organize my information in a way that was beneficial to my audience. 

Looking back on the assignment, I feel that I did rush my proposal a little bit.  I should have given my self an extra day to two to iron out all the kinks in my proposal.  I learned that I need to pay more attention to detail and organization.  If I produce a proposal that is not organized effectively and is just pages of what I will and will not do, the client may just disregard my proposal entirely and I am left with no clients.

FYI:  This post has two links, one to my table of contents and the other to the main body of the proposal.
