Question : Draw influence charts for each of the following problems.

Your client is the planning office of a major university. Part of the job of the planning office is to forecast the annual donations of alumni through the university’s long-established giving program. Until now, the forecast has been made subjectively. The client wants you to develop a more objective approach. The Planning Office can make data available for the past 10 years that shows for each alumni class in that year:

- The number of living alumni in the class

- The number of givers

- Total direct donations from the class

- Other gifts for the class (e.g., employer matching)
