Analyze the cause: What forces are working to create this problem?

Propose a solution: What does the company need to do to turn this situation around? Use the Johari Window model to suggest solutions to the problems this organization is facing. Be specific in your suggestions of recommended actions.

Overall, you must demonstrate that you have read, understood, and can apply the background materials by citing them in support of your analysis.
