Propose concrete actions (not mere recommendations) that you would employ in theory to address the case and/or to your own future projects based on the learning you gained from the case.
One possible approach to encapsulating your case analysis/learning/synthesis:
Write 'Action Item' statements applicable to your own practice/team/company/and-or-the-case. Each Action Item to be a single (long) sentence covering the basics...
- (Why) reasons linked to specific observation(s) based on or related to the case;
- (What) elaborating on selected element(s) linking the case context with additional research/readings;
- (How) 'for examples' suggesting things to be done that activate the recommended action item in a practical manner.
