Further narrowing down the case
study and assessment
Media shark is an ambitious company and wants to further dive
into the RPA space and Regenerative AI. They would love to do
this project and you are the consultant to prepare for the
tender. A few observations:
• The Federal Government and Centrelink are complex
organisations
• This pilot project fits into an overall strategy for Federal
Government and Centrelink
• You will present to key stakeholders (including decision
makers) your ideas
• You will have to demonstrate your understanding and
solutions of the context, overall positioning of the project
and the project itself on a sufficiently deep level

Suggested parts of the case study
You are required to apply the Project Strategy Framework
and identify key elements such as:
• Business background, objectives and concept
• The project definition, strategic focus, Competitive
advantage / value and success criteria
• The way how you propose to deliver the results (linked
to the expectations of the project stakeholders
And potentially more – up to your academic judgement
and critical thinking skills

Your must create an 8 minute video presentation and
a 1 page infographic
on your proposal and how it will
meet the current business needs and strategy as
