1.Encourage you to read/review all of the case materials (so you don’t wait until just before Phase II is due)
2.Prepare a preliminary perspective to present to your President on what you believe are the major issues and side issues and your proposed approach to addressing the major issues. This is to ensure that you’re on the right track, when you are investing time on Phase II & III.

1.Introduction: Describing the company background, industry, size, location, overall business issues – these provide important context to the solutions
2.Identification of the Major Issues and a few side issues and outline of plans to correct major issues (the side issues will be in Phase III)
3.Overall clarity, professionalism and presentation; use of compensation terminology to reflect your knowledge of and understanding of the concepts; prepared to business standards
