Learning Goal: I’m working on a communications writing question and need support to help me learn.

Hi, my field is civil engineering please make sure what you write is about my field.

You are working for Řešení International, a 14,000 person consulting organization. You work in a 600-person division of the organization that provides client services in your field. That is, all of the types of professional work products your field produces are marketed to Řešení clients as a consulting service. Your manager has asked you to write a memorandum to be provided to your division leaders. This memorandum will make a case that increasing the number of employees in the division proficient in statistics and probability will improve provided services and increase profitability. You will recommend that this be accomplished by making data literacy a requirement for all new hires. The leaders he has asked you to address the memorandum to are Vivian Bonady, Vice President of [your field]; Amaka Nwamdi, senior manager of [your field]; and Ellis Richards, senior manager of [your field]. You will also copy it to your boss, Coleman Hawkins. You are to assume that these leaders are senior professionals in your field with the knowledge that entails. Specifically, Mr. Hawkins is requesting that the division require and verify probability and statistics proficiency for all new hires in the division. He has tasked you with accomplishing this by:

1. 1. Highlighting how statistics and probability are used in the services your division provides to clients. To support your argument, this part of the document will summarize aspects of the services your division provides in which statistics and probability are applied and for what purpose each is used. Note: In this section, I expect you to use the research you did for assignment IDL 1. However, as you are writing to a different audience for a different purpose, you will use it differently. If you feel your research from IDL 1 is inadequate for this assignment, you may add additional sources.
   2. Documenting the importance to division success of having all employees engaged in data analytics (analyzing data using probability and statistics for increased profitability and meeting division goals). For this part of the work, he is providing you with a documentLinks to an external site. summarizing external research data provided by a Rešitel partner, Deloitte, to support this case. He wants you to review this data for:
      • Relevance: Is the data Deloitte collected relevant to Řešení? Are the participants from whom Deloitte collected the data similar enough to Řešení to suggest their findings would be applicable to Řešení? You will include what the data indicates, the source of the data provided, the size and reliability of the study, and how that data source aligns or not with Řešení as an organization.
      • How does it support the claim you are making? How the data provided can support your argument that more data literate/probability and statistics proficient employees will make the division more profitable.

After reviewing the data you will use it to make the case that your division will be more profitable if more employees are able to engage in data analytics (that is applying probability and statistics knowledge.) You will recommend that the organization accomplish this by making data literacy requirement for all new hires in the division.

Please note: Some of you will work in organizations with coworkers with diverse professional skills, all making a specific contribution to producing a product. This assignment is NOT structured for that type of organization. For example, you will not present this as an engineer working in a manufacturing facility. You will not present this as a cybersecurity expert working within a financial institution.
