This is quite personal, basically you have to take a blank sheet of paper and write down all things good and bad about your experience, then order them into similar ideas and write your report.


You have mentioned just 2 items:

a) organisation:
good, bad, fabulous, awful? why? what could be improved? examples of what has gone wrong and analysis of why, what aspects/levels of organisation are there (outsourcsers, clients, in-house team)

b) tasks
list of different tasks, who does them and why, which ones require more/less training/expertise, etc

HTH:-)
