Group Milestone 3: Analyze the Data Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: Analyzing data is a critical step in a consulting project because data drives decisions and is a major component of any suggested change in an organization.

Directions: Specifically, be sure to include the following critical elements in your analysis summary:

● Determine the correlation in the data set ● Identify your group’s hypothesis from Milestone 2 and evaluate whether the correlation supports or refutes your group’s hypothesis

statement(s) ● Analyze what could be happening in this company as it relates to the correlation and initial statement of the organization’s

issue/dilemma Note: ​You may find it helpful to utilize the group wiki tool available in Blackboard to organize your thoughts, information, and resources for the group milestones and final group project. You are not required to use this tool, but if your group would like to use it simply ask your instructor to create a wiki for your group. Guidelines for Submission:​ This milestone should be submitted by just one team member on behalf of the entire group as a Microsoft Word document, one to two pages in length, double-spaced, using 12-point type and 1-inch margins. Although using outside resources is not required, any sources used must be referenced in APA format. Instructor Feedback:​ This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center.
