This PPT slide, part of the 30-slide How to Run a Consulting Project PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured exercise aimed at developing a high-level work plan for a project related to Tradeweave, specifically focusing on increasing market share for QRS. The instructions are clear and direct, indicating that the engagement team must concentrate on a specific sub-issue: winning new clients. This focus is crucial, as it narrows down the scope of the project and ensures that efforts are aligned with the overall objective of market growth.

A key component of the exercise involves creating a Gantt chart. This chart should effectively illustrate the project timeline, detailing who is responsible for each task and when these tasks will be executed. This visual representation is essential for project management, allowing stakeholders to track progress and ensure accountability.

The slide emphasizes the importance of documenting critical risks, trade-offs, and assumptions. This aspect is vital for identifying potential obstacles and making informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle. The mention of leveraging an Issue Analysis worksheet suggests a methodical approach to problem-solving, requiring the team to define the issue, formulate hypotheses, and outline necessary analyses and data sources.

Participants are instructed to work collaboratively within their existing teams, reinforcing the idea that teamwork is essential for success. The time constraint of 40 minutes adds a layer of urgency, pushing teams to think quickly and efficiently. Finally, the requirement to share solutions with the class indicates a focus on peer learning and feedback, which can enhance the overall quality of the work produced. This exercise is designed not just to create a plan, but to foster collaboration and critical thinking among team members.
