Developing a policy sounds important, but it might be premature without understanding the issue first. I recall a similar question where we had to prioritize understanding the problem before implementing solutions.

I'm confident I know the seven stages of internal consulting, so I should be able to spot the one that's not part of the standard process. Time to apply my learning from the course materials.

Whoa, lots of options here. I'm a bit confused on the best strategy. Maybe I'll just go with the customer interview approach - that seems like a safe bet to start.
