Which of the following is not included in an effective recommendation?
A. Ways to eliminate or reduce
surface causesB. Ways to eliminate or reduce
root causesC. Finding who is to blame
D. Detail estimated investments
That's Wrong. Try Again!
The correct answer is, C. Finding who is to blame. If root causes are not addressed properly in Section III of the report, it is doubtful recommendations in this section will include improving system inadequacies. Effective recommendations will describe ways to eliminate or reduce both surface and root causes. They will also detail estimated investments, involved with implementing corrective actions, and system improvements.
