*<u>'''Your assignment this week is to hold one-on-one interviews with institutional stakeholders.'''</u> Select three or more administrative or faculty leaders who are on your invite list for the stakeholder meeting. This should be your Faculty Champion and a other people such as your Career Placement Officer, Dean or Entrepreneurship Center Director. Pick institutional stakeholders who you think are most important to the future success of the project or might be direct beneficiaries of its potential impact.

*<u>'''With each interview, you will use the Change Model Canvas to share and test your assumptions about four project ideas.'''</u> You will populate four different copies of the Change Model Canvas to test each of the four different project ideas with each person you interview. You can attend these meetings as a team, or divide and conquer, but each member of the team must participate in an interview and in building out the Change Model Canvases.<br>Each copy you prepare to test should have a Problem Statement, Change Strategy and Metric of Success identified that is meaningful to the person you are interviewing (see above for definitions).<br><br>

<u>'''Step 2:'''</u> Jot down your rough ideas about each project as a bulleted list, or using post-it notes. See HOW TO COMPLETE THE CHANGE MODEL CANVAS above for more information.<br><br>

<u>'''Step 3:'''</u> Schedule or drop in to visit three or more institutional stakeholders. You would be surprised how few student walk-ins institutional stakeholders get. As a strategy to securing these meetings, it's worth a try to drop-in early this week. If they are unable to take a meeting at that time, they'll be more likely to squeeze you into their calendar before the assignment is due.<br><br>
