  2. What is a PAE? • Customized product for specific client addressing specific challenge • Clear statement of the challenge • Clear statement of the goals • Analysis of alternative strategies to reach those goals • Policy recommendations • Recommendations for implementation and performance assessment • May take form of a traditional consulting report or a briefing book • A PAE is also a process • Working with and managing a client • Working with and managing an advisor • Working with and managing a partner

  3. Guidelines for Muddling Through the PAE • Decide what you want out of the PAE (skills, client). • Pick a topic you can live with for a year. • Identify your client: • Who is responsible for you? • How much of their time you will get? • Define problem as clearly and quickly as possible. • I can not stress this point enough. • Really, I can’t.

  4. Guidelines for Muddling Through the PAE • Make sure you and client each understand your roles. • As early as possible, identify where the data will come from and who is responsible for providing it. • Take initiative. • Remember you have advisors and peers in the seminar to provide support and guidance. • Be prepared for changes.

  5. “Working in PAE Pairs” (JieunBaek and Laila Matar) • “If partners are chosen well, there are tremendous benefits in working in pairs for the MPP PAE.” • “The pair could potentially cover a broader research question... and deliver a more substantial product.” • “The pair could give each other constructive and honest feedback… that could help hone research, writing, and interview skills.” • “A good partner will be a much harsher and more effective critic than almost any other MPP friend.” • “Working in pairs is good training for co-authoring reports in the future.”
