Background

You are the Director of Talent Development at Planit, an advertising agency in Philadelphia. Your position involves providing training and professional development opportunities for Planit employees. The company has offices in London, Tokyo, and Paris.

Situation

Planit is preparing for two seasoned advertising managers, Lydia and Nathan, to transfer to the company’s Paris office. Lydia and Nathan are important members of the organization and are excited about the transfer.

Elizabeth is your direct supervisor. She is also well acquainted with Lydia and Nathan and has been involved in planning for their transfer.

After a meeting earlier this week, Lydia and Nathan shared with you that they want to learn more about the French culture in advance of their transfer. Planit is not equipped to provide this type of training, and therefore, you need to conduct research to identify training companies that offer this type of service to businesses.

You certainly agree with the rationale behind Lydia’s and Nathan’s training request and believe that training would be a worthwhile investment. You mention the training initiative to Elizabeth in passing. In response, Elizabeth has asked you to prepare a proposal, and send it to her by the end of the week.

Task: Plan, compose, and complete a short proposal that has the goal of persuading Elizabeth to support a cultural training initiative. Follow the specific directions outlined in Part 1 and Part 2 below.

Part 1 –Planning Questions

State your general purpose: are you trying to inform, persuade, entertain, facilitate interaction, or motivate a reader?
Determine your specific purpose (the desired outcome).
What information will you include based on your research?
As a manger, discuss what Elizabeth cares about in terms of her position as a manager?
How might Elizabeth feel about the issue you are raising?
Determine whether you’ll use the direct or indirect approach.

Part 2 – The Proposal

Directions: Compose a short proposal that follows guidelines outlined in the chapter. Make sure to use a template so that your information is visually organized with appropriate headings. You will make a recommendation to Elizabeth that Planit should contract with a cross-cultural training program that is capable of offering training in the French culture. You will need to conduct research using the web to support this goal. Ultimately, you will provide pertinent information to Elizabeth regarding the training company that best meets the needs of Lydia and Nathan. Please select a proposal or report template from Word and ensure that your proposal is logically organized and professional in appearance.
