write a three to four page proposal to your manager describing a technical problem or situation in the workplace and offering a solution. For example, a company may have a need for new software or hardware to improve productivity. Your proposal will be in the form of a memo with appropriate sections and headings addressed to your manager. Your proposal should do the following:
Demonstrate that a problem exists.
Forecast how your solution will improve the situation.
Suggest a preliminary plan for implementing the solution.
Discuss any potential obstacles to success.
Your proposal should provide your manager with all the information s/he needs to give you the go-ahead for researching and ultimately implementing your solution. The proposal will form the foundation for your final report.
