Action Analysis

On the previous worksheet you compiled a list of stakeholders and their opinions on the issue. Each of
these stakeholders probably has a preferred course of action (a certain way that they would like to see
the issue handled). Take note of/research the course of action proposed by each group and enter it
into the Proposed Course of Action column. When that is finished take some time to reflect on each
suggestion and state what you think the pros and cons connected to it might be (you might be able to
find some pros and cons in your research, but there is also room for you to critically reflect on each
idea here).
