Assessment Description
This assessment has two sections:
1. Project teams and Leadership
You will answer questions on team performance and leadership based on information from
your workshop slides. In this section Project teams and Leadership are to be discussed in
the context of a project in which you have been involved, hence this first section does
not have to involve analytics.
2. Discovery Analytics project
Discovery analytics projects are those in which participants are trying to gain new insight,
create completely new ways of doing things or make improvements using data and analytics
techniques. You are to research analytics projects and case studies on the internet. Use these
as inspiration to find a similar unique project of your own, and then answer the questions in
part 2 below in relation to your innovation analytics project.
This assessment is to be done individually. You need to write your answers in a report form in
Microsoft word and submit it via Turnitin. More detail is given below.
