Appraise historical and international facets of IT consulting.

IT402-4: Appraise historical and international facets of IT consulting.

Purpose

Over the years, the IT consulting industry has responded creatively to the changing needs of clients, leading to the growth of a thriving industry and, for the most part reactive to client demands. IT consulting firms have readily grown and shrunk in response to client demands.

The fortunes of IT consulting firms, like most firms, were impacted by the recent global recession. IT budgets were cut, and most high-profile projects were suspended, most notably in financial services. Having discussed the past and the present, what does the future hold for IT consulting? Which factors will shape the future of the industry?

Assignment Instructions

Prepare an APA-formatted paper with the following content. Your Assignment does not require an abstract page but does require a cover page and separate reference page.

Content

After doing the unit reading, conduct research on the Internet and/or in the library to learn more about the Enron scandal, the role that Arthur Andersen played, and the changes made in the consulting industry as a result. Use at least two different sources for this Assignment.

Assignment Requirements

Use at least two different sources for this Assignment.

• Provide an appropriate paper title. Titles should be short phrases that describe the content. Do not copy Assignment instructions or questions; doing so does not prove an understanding of main ideas.

• This paper should be pure research, without personal commentary, conversational speech, or emotional wording.
• The length requirement for this Assignment is 250–350 words. Do not write more than 350 words; it is important that a consultant learn to be concise.

Scenario: 

Avery’s Gym has had some limited success providing athletic training and physical therapy…but she’s struggling a bit to expand her presence and her brand to expand her business. Avery is considering expanding her web presence and is interested in exploring what her competitors are doing. She thinks a great way to do that would be to build a website that could serve as a home for her marketing efforts. There are two parts to the assignment. First, research other similar sites to serve as a launching point for your creative efforts.

• Physical Therapy
• Mental Health and Wellness centers

Because Avery is focused on crafting personalized training and experiences, she is looking for local inspiration.

Create various forms of business correspondence and documents

LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Write for a specific purpose and audience • Create various forms of business correspondence and documents • Develop effective business correspondence writing style, paying particular attention to concision (i.e., avoiding wordiness), paragraph construction, and tone ASSIGNMENT Choose one of the following scenarios, and produce the requested documents for one scenario only. Each scenario asks you to prepare a range of documents. Students are responsible for determining the appropriate genre (email, memo, business letter, etc.) as well as the content of those documents. SCENARIO 1 You have been an employee for almost two years with Innovative Residential Solutions, a firm that provides support services for design and construction of residential and commercial buildings, and other types of infrastructure. One of your company’s specialties is innovative security features for multi-use facilities, such as keyless entry for residents. Innovative Residential Solutions has just released a new sensor that needs to be installed at a number of buildings the company holds maintenance contracts for across town. The new sensors update residential entry points so that the resident’s key fobs are functional at a greater distance. You have been tasked with your first big project. You are to coordinate the replacement of old sensors with the newly designed ones. Coordinating with your team, you provide all the necessary parts to do the work. The first stage of replacements–five buildings with 20 replacement points–was completed, but you received a call from the management of those buildings because residents are reporting they cannot enter the building. You get in touch with the person who did the replacement, Hagen Smith, and send him back over to troubleshoot. He lets you know that it was the sensor. The new sensors were not properly calibrated. Hagen Smith was able to recalibrate the sensors, and resident’s entry problems were resolved. Upon further research, you are able to locate the cause of the problem. At the Research & Development (R&D) warehouse, a new employee mis-read the sensor labels, resulting in inaccurate instructions for sensor installation being circulated to your installment team. Now you have to take steps to ensure the problem does not happen again.
