Week 7 Executive Summary

Assignment

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to provide a concise overview of key project updates to senior executives. You have developed many practice-ready skills during the planning phase of your practicum. Learning how to write an executive summary will be important to your future practice. Informatics nurses frequently develop executive summaries as project updates for senior leaders. As you are aware, the process of project management has five phases, 1) design/initiation which you just completed, 2) finalizing your plan before implementation which you will do now, 3) implementation, 4) monitor and control and finally, 5) evaluation and lessons learned as well as knowledge transfer.

You will demonstrate the ability to communicate at the executive level through development of an Executive Summary for your project. The Executive Summary is directed to the project Sponsor/Senior leaders and should provide a high-level overview of the project and your recommendations. There are many templates that you can use for this type of deliverable. A sample is included based on the Motorola (2021) phone project exemplar you have been following this session.
