For most projects a three-stage approach is followed:
- The first stage involves an 'issues-focused' meeting with the client and subsequent preparation of a detailed proposal. This forms the blueprint of the project. The supervisor will be present at that meeting as an observer (and support if needed), but the student group is responsible for setting the agenda and running the meeting. The client must agree to the proposal and sign it off. This will form the basis of the contract between the group and the client. A template for this will be provided.
- The second stage normally involves some hands-on research.
- The final stage involves consideration of alternative strategies/solutions and appropriate recommendations to the client.
