  • How is the proposed solution applicable in this specific organization?
  • What, if any, modifications have you made to your proposed solution from what was gleaned from the literature review?
  • Evaluate the ways in which the proposed solution is consistent with current research knowledge.
    • What are the unique or parallels between the implementation of this solution and the literature?
    • Analyze potential barriers to the feasibility of implementing the proposed solution
      • How will leadership support, staff buy-in, finances, legal/regulatory issues, and information technology issues impact the feasibility of implementing the proposed solution?
