Assessment 2
By Simone Shepherd
Executive Summary
This report will outline the proposed project by the Ruskin glass centre.

It was the role of the consultants to find ways of executing these potential ideas and in doing this and prior to being able to provide answers as consultants we had to draw to theories to give us insight into the area’s we needed to research and also to provide a basis and focus point . These theories being feasibility, consumer motivation and implementation theories, as well as these individually we looked at managerial theories and theories surrounding group dynamic’s to ensure as consultants they were able to work together and communicate effectively, after delegating roles, both as a team and individually work was distributed and carried out, timescales were set as well as smart objectives and we used a blog and a facebook group page as means of communicating.

This report will discuss the Ruskin glass centre and the issues under investigation, conducting a critical analysis of the concept’s and theories that helped form the consultancy project. The report will conclude by comparing the main findings of the research with theoretical
