Assignment: Please identify and discuss three (3) possible solutions to the issue or problem that you used in your background paper. In your discussion, please address the following:
Alternative Identification: What is the solution and how will it solve the problem or address the issue? What specific steps would be taken in this solution?
Actor Involvement: Who would be involved in developing and implementing this solution? What roles would each individual or group play? How would you get the agreement and buy in of each of these actors?
