Use Chapter 2 of the Davenport & Kim book for guidance. Note that you need to frame – not solve – the problem.
Create a written brief in which you:
1. Define a clear problem or opportunity that addresses what is important to your business or Organization.
2. Define key items or variables you want to study that are relevant to the problem.
3. Identify stakeholders for the problem, including the role of the stakeholder who will make a
specific decision based on analysis results once the problem is solved.
4. Consider multiple alternative ways to solve the problem.
5. Adopt an analytical story type to communicate the particular problem (pp. 29-40, Davenport &
Kim).
6. Describe previous findings or experiences related to this problem that occurred within or outside
