Assessment: Enhancing the benefits and understanding systems
It is essential that when embarking on a project, a detailed investigation is undertaken to identify and maximise the potential benefits, to identify the potential adverse issues as early as possible, and to incorporate measures to mitigate their consequences.
For example, the overall EWB Challenge consists of a total of nine individual projects. Therefore, the actions undertaken in relation to an individual project should not adversely affect any of the other projects. This requires a systems approach in order to understand the linkages and relationships between specific projects and the influential factors which play a key role.
Activity
An individual report should be built on the previous assessments and readings undertaken and lectures conducted.
Scope of the report
You should specifically focus on the selected EWB project. Your report should adhere to the following outline and use the headings provided (content provided in italics):
-Introduction
- Tell the executive team very briefly what is covered in the report
-Systems Analysis
Preferably in a table format:
- Identify the possible linkages and relationships between your project and the other (major) EWB project topic areas
- Identify any potential beneficial or adverse impacts of your design strategy on the other project areas
- If there are positive or beneficial issues, what can you do to further enhance their potential benefits and thereby increase the success of the project?
-Discussion and Conclusion
- Adopting a holistic view, briefly discuss the contribution of the selected project to the overall EWB Challenge
