The first part of the project is the company selection. This memo to your instructor will launch the project, by submitting a company name, background, and proposed research plan for approval. You will use this company to create a Risk Management Plan & Business Impact Analysis draft in Week 4 and Final in Week 6.

Memo Contents:

1. To ensure you have access to appropriate level of information please select either a) is publicly-held company or (b) an organization where you would have access to basic financials or strategic plan. If you have a connection with a non-profit you can use this as an option.
2. Conduct a brief round of preliminary research (Google search is fine at this stage) to learn more about the company selected (you will need to research the company background, mission etc.)
3. Submit your memo and your instructor will provide approval. Include the company background, the possible risks associated with the company and research approach in developing the Risk Management Plan.
