Answer 1

My approach for organizing the tasks that were needed to be done for completing the project was a systematic approach. I made a WBS and on this basis sub-divided my different tasks. This approach ensured that I had a complete list of all tasks that were required for the project.

With regards to selecting the sources of information for the report I relied mainly on academic journals and white papers as the information contained in such resources are credible as well as reliable. This also ensured that the sources were current as well as accurate.

To evaluate the information and select them I used that material that was tangibly relatable to my report and that supported the flow of information in my report.

To formulate conclusions based on the information I analyzed the key points of all the pertinent information and derived appropriate conclusion after analyzing the information in a comprehensive manner. This also allowed me to add my own ideas and thinking in the report.

With regards to the program about ‘green’ practices for businesses my previous experience taught me that the most important thing is to first select proper sources of information, then analyze available information in a comprehensive manner so that apt conclusions can be drawn easily.
