The Assignment As the head of the consulting team, you need to brief the senior partner on your findings so that he can then meet with the COO at Huge Computer Company. You need to synthesize the information from the interviews, consolidate your key findings, and develop a one-page executive summary comparing the key features of the plans and making any observations or recommendations you have about merging the plans. Remember that the senior partner may or may not read your full report, so any key findings and your recommendations need to be easy to access and understand.
