Your team has been hired by Verizon as consultants to help them apply a decision process that will result in a solid set of recommendations for resolving their complex problems. Your team should utilize the following consulting steps in your process:

1. define the complex problems
2. determine objectives***Need this by tomorrow please***
3. generate creative alternatives
4. analyze and evaluate alternatives
5. propose recommendations

Note that the company may face several problems, which may be inter-related and quite complex. You will need to address the financial ramifications as well as the risks, consequences, and trade-offs of various alternatives and recommended solutions.

Length: Each team member contributes 800 words to the body of the paper (does not include executive summary, introduction or conclusion).

Report Format: Your consultant team should produce a business report that includes an executive summary and follows an organized plan for presenting your analyses, recommendations and decision process. Report sections should include:

1. Title Page
2. Table of Contents
3. Executive Summary (A brief summary of the report. This is NOT a history of the company.)
4. Introduction (The Instructor is NOT the audience for this report. The company is the audience, so make sure your report is geared toward them. Hint: you wouldn’t provide a long history of the company as an introduction since they already know all that stuff. This sort of filler will be considered “fluff.”)
5. The Situation (only include portions of company history if directly related to the problem/s)
6. Background of the Problem
7. The Complex Problems
8. The Objectives (make the list clear and as specific as possible)
9. Creative Alternatives
10. Evaluation of Alternatives (should include table/s with numerical analyses. A very important section.)
11. Consequences
12. Risks
13. Add sub-points as appropriate for your project
14. Recommendations
15. References
