You are composing a research question that drives an explanation for the necessary change that drives improvement. The question should start with $$What can be done...$?.$ Avoid using questions that begin with $$How will$$ or $$Will$.$ These types of questions merely provide part of an explanation for a solution or a Yes or No answer. A proper solution digs deep into the root cause and is justified with evidence$-$based, actionable plans to incorporate change. Note: the instructor expects a rough draft, not a finished product.

List some issues and metrics that pertain to potential problems in your organization. Explain your organization's transformation process by providing the inputs, transformation, and outputs $($see the transformation process diagram, page XXX$).$ Note any concerns in the transformation process and devise a few $(3-5)$ topical questions to get you thinking about the term paper. Try to note metrics that can be used and measured between the as$-$is and to$-$be conditions. These metrics are how you will determine success. Note that metrics can pertain to financial and non$-$financial measures. Submit your $3-5$ slide presentation rough draft by the end of module $1.$

You are expected to provide the following information:

Describe the organization

Introduce the as$-$is operations condition

Construct $3-5$ problem statements

Draft a research question: What can be done....?

Provide any notable metrics that you could use to measure performance.
