To prepare for this meeting you should:

• Read the About the Organization reports from your peers
• Be on time or a few minutes early.

The agenda for the meeting is fairly simple and open-ended:

• Each person gets an equal share of time
  
• The student should start by reading through the list of problems
  
• The should *not* read through the whole report!
  
• They should *not* re-explain or justify them the problems, except to answer questions from the group.
  
• Then the group can discuss:
  
  • What type of solutions were you considering for the various problem/opportunities?
    
  • What other solutions should be considered.
    
  • Brainstorming innovative solutions to the problems.
    
  • Suggest solutions that the student consultant should do more research into.

In a week, you will meet as a group again. At that time, you will have a well-defended argument for the solution approach you chose. So for this meeting, ideas can still be half baked ... and this is an opportunity to think of alternatives.
