Video – Individual Presentation
Description of assessment task
You will individually record a video pitch analysing an organisational issue and proposing a
compelling solution. You will present to a managerial audience (including the CEO, CFO and CIO) of
an organisation of your choice. Your proposed solution will be based on thorough analyses using
the tools and strategies you learn throughout the term.
Approach to the assessment task
Week 2: Select an organisation you are interested in. The choice of organisation must meet the
following criteria:
• The organisation is publicly listed on a major stock exchange, e.g., the
NYSE/NASDAQ/FTSE/ASX, etc. This ensures that you can access publicly available
financial information about your organisation.
• The information and evidence about the organisation must be available in the English language.
• No more than two students in the same tutorial can choose the same organisation
and the students choosing the same organisation must choose different issues to
work on for the assessment task.
• The organisation must not be utilised in major class examples, i.e., Netflix.
Week 3: Identify an organisational issue that can be linked to a Human Resources (people)-related
problem. For limited guidance there is a list of possible issues provided on Moodle. You must select and
justify your choice of either:
• An organisational issue that can be linked to a Human Resources (people)-related problem
that is occurring in real-time in the organisation you have chosen OR
• An organisational issue that can be linked to a Human Resources (people)-related problem
that you believe is likely to occur within the next 12 months in your chosen organisation.
• The organisational issue that can be linked to a Human Resources (people)-related problem
must be appropriate for analysis and addressed by considering both technology and capital
resources, as well as any required changes to the organisation’s HR resources.
Your tutor can provide several useful frameworks, tools and processes that can be used to analyse organisational issues.
You should choose the most relevant/informative one(s) to use for the analysis section of your
presentation:
• Competitive Advantage: 3 strategic approaches (Week 1)
• Resource and Capability analysis (Week 1)
• SWOT analysis (Week 2)
• 5Ws Tool (Weeks 1 and 3)
• As Is–To Be’ Model (Week 3)
• 5 Components of IS analysis (Week 3)
• Budgeting (Week 5)
• Capital Considerations and Business Risk (Week 7)
• TOE feasibility analysis (Week 8)
Week 8-10: The Lectures in these weeks will cover specific examples of organisations at every
stage of the organisational lifecycle and genuine issues faced by these organisations and how
they have tackled them. This will provide you with knowledge and insights to support you in your
own problem-solving process and in formulating recommendations for your chosen organisation.
You should use these lectures to guide you and check for ideas or methods you have not yet
considered in your own analytical and problem-solving process.
In Weeks 9-10, drop-in session times will be available with the COMM1170 teaching team to
ensure you are on track with Assessment 3 and progressing towards delivering your video in
Week 11.
Submission instructions
Upload instructions will be provided on Moodle under the Assessment Hub.
