Problem solution

INSTUCTIONS

For this assignment, you need to use the template I have attached

The biggest effort should be invested in column A. In this column, you should describe Previous Problem Solution and source of that information (something that did not work well and you want to improve it), and Proposed Problem Solution (new solution that should improve the process). In all other columns (B to F) you will enter numbers 1, 3, or 5, depending on your assessment. For example, if quality of old solution was poor, you will enter number 1. If quality of a new solution, in your opinion, is very high, you will enter number 5. Once you update columns B to F for all existing and proposed solution, you will see which solutions have more points than others and you should focus on implementation of these solutions.

You should select the three, typically highest-point solutions, and use for Business Proposal Presentation in Topic 7 and the Final Business Proposal you submit in Topic 8. In addition to the number of points, you should base your selection of the best solutions on: timeline for implementation, costs, benefits, stakeholders needed to implement these solutions, potential roadblocks to your solutions, and success criteria.

The purpose of this assignment is to review the root causes of the problem and all of the previously tried and new solutions you researched to address the problem. From that information, potential solutions should be ranked based upon how well they meet the needs of the business and address the identified problem. Once this process is completed, the best solution for solving the problem within your organization can be selected.

Complete the "Problem Solutions Matrix" spreadsheet using data and information you collected through research and completion of the Stakeholder Analysis in Topics 2 and 3. Select the top three solutions for addressing the problem within your organization. Be sure to consider the "Solutions Score" column number when selecting the top three solutions. Additionally, you must also consider the timeline for implementation, costs and benefits to key stakeholders and the greater good, potential roadblocks to implementation, and how you will measure and validate whether or not a solution is successful in addressing the problem. All of this must be considered prior to selecting your final solution.
