Scenario:
You work for a large city government and have been tasked with running a flagship executive fellowship program. The program has the overall objective of not only providing experience for proven leaders but also providing skilled talent for the city to advance assorted strategic initiatives. You have been asked to redesign the hiring and implementation of the fellowship program. This includes designing a process for assessing and selecting applicants (who are typically limited to only 10 per year despite regularly receiving more than 100 applicants from across the country).
Importantly, you have also been asked to systematize the process for assessing the projects these fellows will be advancing during their tenure. Necessarily, this required working with unit directors to solicit proposals for strategic projects. Clearly, only some of the proposed strategic projects will be selected due to limited resources including time and personnel (i.e. there are only 10 fellows). While the number of selected proposals is not important, you must design a mechanism for evaluating and selecting projects.
Instructions:

For part two of this assignment, provide a detailed strategy (no more than two pages) for selecting projects to which these fellows will be tasked. Be sure to pay special attention to what you know about decision-making and the imperative, as a government organization, to be responsive to assorted stakeholders including the valid perspectives of unit directors and also residents and elected officials.
