Overview

The Solutions ToolKit Assignment builds upon what we have talked about in lecture, what you have completed in the discussion forums, AND your first written assignment. A Toolkit is a group of documentation that provides guidance around some key issue. In our case, we are making a communications toolkit – this would guide an organization while communicating about the topic that you have chosen in your needs analysis. In your feedback from me I suggested some approaches you could take (e.g. a fact sheet, a persuasive document, an infographic, sample language when addressing a topic that could be incorporated into communications, etc.).

What your Toolkit will include

· Your revised needs analysis. Take the feedback I gave you, incorporate it, include any other changes that would make your assignment strong. (~7-10 slides)

· One Persona – Write a persona for one of the sub-segments you named in your needs analysis. Use the format that was displayed in lecture. (Template will be in assignment folder). Explain why this segment is important to target first. Use evidence. Based on the need/context of your project there will be a segment that is a better choice. (~1 slide)

· Impactful communication – This will look different for each of your assignments. Regardless of the type of communication you create, target it to the persona you chose above. Some of you will choose to create

· a persuasive document, such as “Top 10 reasons why you shouldn’t move to the suburbs”

· an informative document, such as “10 myths about feminism” or “Did you know?” infographic, poster, etc.

· Suggestion for disseminating your communication in the organization. Provide constructive feedback/tips for how an organization could use this toolkit. Draw from what we learned about speaking with stakeholders, providing criticism, etc. Explain your choices (~1-2 slides)
