Guidelines for producing the Action Plan for a Busines Analytics internship

You should produce the Action Plan during the first four weeks of your internship. It will contain a clear statement of the problem (the 'terms of reference), the role you are to play in solving that problem, a schedule (by week) and a description of the intended output ('deliverables'). The Action Plan will be between two and five A4 pages in length.

The Action Plan must be approved by your internship supervisor and the second reader (from the VU University) and by the external supervisor (your manager at the host organization). A copy should then be submitted to the Internship Office, from where it will be forwarded to the Examination Board for information.

A template for the Action Plan is available.
