It is a good idea to work out if your Client project is one of these as the Client briefs will be different
An Evaluation study “ A Client needs part of the business or specific task reviewed to see if it has achieved the targets set. Would normally require Cost/Benefit tools as part of the approach.
A Feasibility study “ A Client wants to do something new and needs a study to identify whether it is possible and or desirable e.g. Launch a product into a new market. Often make use of a PESTLE to identify broader trends relevant to the study
A Scoping study “ The Client is interested to find out what factors may be relevant in a different business activity. Could use Porter’s Five Forces and Market analysis models
Stakeholder mapping “ Is often a very good model to identify relevant individuals and groups who should be involved in the study
