Now that you have read the Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking share your definition of critical thinking. Give an example of how you have utilized critical thinking in the workplace. In addition, search the open job listings on the web. Identify and post one new open position that requires business analysis skills. Cite the source about the job opening. Describe and discuss some business analyst skills required in the job opening. Discuss how the skills relate to the six knowledge areas presented in Chapter 1 of the BABOK® Guide and the skills required to think critically. Research in peer-reviewed journal articles and share how two experts define critical thinking, business analysis, or problem solving. Do you agree? Why or why not? Benchmark their definitions against yours. Evaluate the similarities and differences. In addition to peer-reviewed academic journal articles, back up all opinions with foundation knowledge from the BABOK Guide and in-class lessons.

You must complete a 3-page (typed 1.5 spaced in 12-point Times Roman font) report
(To be fair and consistent, we won’t read beyond three pages) that demonstrates the insights

title page. The report must have the following components (point values for each
component are given in parentheses):

your opinion, who gets your vote as Most Valuable Executive (MVE)

that insight—this is the major take-away from the course. (6 points)

This is a three-part Assignment that is submitted over the course of 3 weeks. This week, you will submit Part 1. You will submit Part 2 in Week 2 and you will submit Part 3 in Week 3. Additionally, you will use the same document for each submission (renaming it each time you submit). In this week’s submission, you will complete Part 1, and you will leave the placeholder language for Parts 2 and 3 as is.
For this Assignment, you will play the role of a consultant who has been brought in to help the leadership of a company struggling to evolve in the current market. You will present a report to the CEO in which you analyze the relationship of creativity and innovation to business practices.
The company’s CEO, Gabriel Marron, has been resistant to change for the past 25 years, and the company recently began losing market share to other competitors. After months of being in denial, the CEO is finally open to considering the idea of implementing innovative approaches to reclaim the company’s former position at the top. Gabriel admits that it is simply not in his nature to value innovation. Sticking to tried and true methods has always worked favorably throughout his career, but you are being brought in because that is proving to no longer be the case. In your report, you will draw the connection between creativity, innovation, and business practices.
With those thoughts in mind, construct Part 1 of your report to the CEO with the following section, being sure to incorporate appropriate business examples (as indicated), as well as citations for relevant academic resources from the classroom, the Walden Library, and/or other appropriate scholarly sources to support your work.
Submit Part 1 of your analysis of the role of creativity and innovation in business, in which you address the following in a 2- to 3-page business report (excluding references):
Part 1: Incorporating Creativity
What does it mean to be creative in business? Provide two or more examples to support your response.
What is the role of inspiration in creativity?
What are three to five attributes of a work environment that fosters creativity (including an explanation of the impact of each)?
How can design thinking enable businesses to foster creativity in their work environment? 

This is the beginning of my thesis and will be the second part! It basically consists of continuing the first part (already done) by answering the questions in the second part (to be done).
I said that if you want to change the research questions, feel free to do it in your own way.     There is feedback from the teacher on the first part.  Please see the documents attached. There are my first part, the second part (the one that has to be done), three examples from last year’s project and the questions. 
LECTURE FEEDBACK: Solid Proposal. Well put together should work and a solid Proposal. Well put together should make a great report. ok this should work and a comprehensive lit review will help the identification of themes and provide the depth necessary. 
For the second submission Be sure to concentrate on the following areas (SEE PROJECT PART 2)
Then concentrate on the literature review and make it as comprehensive as possible under the heading of the themes that you have identified. So identify the themes and then seek 5 authors on each of those themes, compare and contrast the authors views and then consider what that means for your project, as in how can I use the information in the literature review to develop my research instrument, to develop the questions and topics that you ask in the primary research.
