A few months ago, on the basis of your experience in a hospital business office, you were hired into a managerial position. You were just starting to feel comfortable in the position when the administrator walked into your office to tell you the department is outgrowing its quarters and must start planning an expansion project.

She wants you to do the initial legwork and put together a briefing that will help her prepare a presentation for the board.
