Please note, the assignments in
this course build upon one another.
For these assignments, you will
take on the role of a consultant for a government agency. Your consulting firm
has been asked by the agency to conduct research, compile a report, and provide
recommendations for improvement of their personnel management system. The first
role of the consultant is to become familiar with the agency and its
departments. You will develop the assignment in four parts, submitting each to
your supervisor (your professor) who will review and grade your efforts.
In this assignment, you will continue to research the agency you
selected for the Week 3 assignment.
