Write a 3-4 page recommendation report based on the benefits and risks highlighted in the informative report from Assessment 3.
Introduction
The goal of writing a recommendation report is to provide a solution to a problem or challenge in the workplace. In this situation, the problem or challenge is the need for innovation; the solution is determined by you.
You can choose whether the benefits outweigh the risks or vice versa. If you choose the benefits, your recommendation report should focus on the recommendation of the innovation. If the risks outweigh the benefits, your recommendation report should focus on not implementing the innovation at this time and suggesting an alternative.
Recommendation reports are a form of persuasive writing. Preparing for this assessment, you’ll discover how you can use your communication skill to summon the passion and power of your words to persuade others to believe your point of view.
Preparation
Review the innovation risks and benefits you defined in the informational report. Identify possible innovation recommendations based on the risks and benefits. Use the Capella library and online resources to help you determine criteria you can use to help clarify and define the scope of your final recommendation. Identify a minimum of two references that support your conclusions. The General Education Information Research Skills Library Guide is helpful for this research.
To write a detailed recommendation, you will need to consider 2–3 criteria that are influencing your recommendation. Common criteria include cost, safety, or efficiency, but you can choose any criteria that best support your recommendation.
Instructions
For this assessment, write a 3–4 page recommendation report in which you complete the following. Use the Recommendation Report Template [DOCX] to complete this assessment. The template is structured in the order that is typical of these kinds of reports, but it is not necessarily the order in which you would complete the work.
- Step 1: Create an introduction that clarifies purpose and audience.
- Identify the audience for which you are targeting your report.
- Discuss any resistance you anticipate from your audience about the recommendation.
- Explain the outcomes you’re looking for after the report is delivered.
- Step 2: Select criteria to determine the scope of the recommendation.

- Rank the criteria in order of importance.
- Explain why each criterion was chosen and ranked as selected.
- Step 3: Analyze each criterion.
- Provide a brief and concise analysis.
- Provide an analysis that clearly shows how each criterion supports your final recommendation.
