Scenario

Scenario: You are the Chief Information Officer (CIO), and your supervisor has asked you to use your "Group Presentation" to obtain funding to further the research.  You must write a formal memorandum to the Board Members stating:

• Why is research on your topic necessary?
• State the problem
• Propose a solution
• What are your resources to assist in the research, i.e. organizations, other authors…
• What is your budget to continue to research project?
• How will you use the budget (funding)?
• What challenges do you foresee?
• How long will the project take?
• How will this research help others?

Tips

• Hint: To ensure you get your point across to the board members it is wise to attach documents!
• A memo letter is a type of business letter used mostly for internal communication within a company, organization, or school. A memorandum may be used to make a request, announce an upcoming meeting, or communicate some important facts
• Say what you need to say in the most concise and clear way possible. That isn't always easy, but everybody will appreciate not having to read a lengthy memo.
