On behalf of the summary and conclusion, I will need to explain what I learned from this simulation, what I would do differently if I performed the simulation over again, and following how I would apply what I have learned at my current or future job (Apollo Group, 2006).         Phase I: Capital Shortage         The board members at Elijah Heart Center (EHC) have recommended engaging my services as a Senior Consultant to execute and accomplish new strategies for his or her current problems.
