Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal
Write a brief introduction (2 to 3 sentences) to your proposal that outlines the issue you
are attempting to solve, the part of the organization in which the plan would be carried out, and
the desired outcome. This will set the stage for the sections below.
Objective
Describe what your plan will do and what you hope it will accomplish in one or two succinct
sentences. Also, comment on how the objective, if achieved, will improve organizational or
patient outcomes. For example:
Test a double-loop feedback model for evaluating new product risk with a small group of project
managers with the goal of reducing the number of new products that fail to launch. This
objective is aligned to the broader organizational goal of becoming more efficient taking
products to market and, if successful, should improve outcomes by reducing waste.
Questions and Predictions
For this section ask yourself 3 to 5 questions about your objective and your overall plan. Make a
prediction for each question by answering the question you posed. This helps you to define the
important aspects of your plan as well as limit the scope and check its ability to be implemented.
For example:
1. How much time will using a double-loop feedback model add to a project manager’s
workload?
a. At first, it will likely increase their workloads by 5 to 10 percent. However, as the
process is refined and project managers become more familiar and efficient, that
percentage will decrease.
