Purpose: Now that you have finished your technical report and are developing your leadership work products, you need to make an intentional and graceful exit from your client relationship. This is important so that you, personally, leave the relationship strong for potential future collaboration and so that your fellow Batten students and professors have a strong relationship to build on for future APPs or other projects with the client.
Task: Prepare a client exit plan and exit memo to your client. You are welcome to choose either option 1 and 2 (both of them together) OR option 3
- The client exit plan should be no more than 1-page single-spaced (max 750 words), addressing the questions on page two of this assignment. Your exit plan could also include a combination of the following:
- A final call or meeting with your client point person
- A formal or informal presentation to the client organization
- A hand-written note and hard copies of APP technical report and/or supporting materials
- The exit memo should be approximately 1 page single-spaced and should thank your client for giving you the chance to work with them and share the documents you’ve produced, highlighting key findings/recommendations. The client exit plan should reflect the relationship you’ve developed with the client over the course of the year and may vary in its level of detail, formality, etc. to reflect that relationship.
- Send the professor an email with the information provided below
