Recommendation Reports “A recommendation report [1] assesses a troublesome or unsatisfactory situation, [2] identifies a solution to the problem, and [3] persuades decision- makers to pursue a particular course of action that will improve matters” (Searles 78).

Recommendation Report Components Problem: includes causes and effects Solution: includes how and why See p. 74 for sample short recommendation report. See the Long Report Outline on the course page

Sample Topic: Wayfinding at IVCC Finding one’s way from one location to another without knowing the way ahead of time Use of maps, signs, or other methods to help with wayfinding

Problem Questions to Ask What are some specific problems/challenges at IVCC with wayfinding? What are the negative effects of these problems/challenges, actual or even potential?

Solution Questions to Ask What specific solutions might improve wayfinding at IVCC? How could these solutions be implemented? What might the steps be? What would have to be considered? What are the potential benefits of these solutions?

Other Key Planning Questions What information in the report would benefit from a visual? What type? Who should read the report? In other words, who is the executive reader(s)? Why?
