Task Overview:
"Proposal for a new digital innovation which promotes sustainability"
You will develop a new digital innovation proposal for a product or service for ONE of the organisations listed below. The proposed innovation should be grounded in an appropriate business model; make innovative use of consumer, product, supply-chain or company data in the product design; and articulate a well-considered management plan for developing, deploying and delivering the product. Technology management issues such as data privacy and security, workforce management, outsourcing, innovation, and product lifecycles must be considered in your proposal. The assignment focuses on making a compelling case for your digital innovation, including a strong business case and development plan.
In addition, the innovation you select must promote and contribute to the company's goals of achieving ethical, social, environmental, cultural, or economic sustainability. For example, how does this firm promote sustainable practices, including climate change initiatives, reduced water inputs, renewable energy sources, and customer health and well-being? Please ensure your technological innovation promotes one of these goals.
Ensure you can access details about the organisation's current strategy, tech systems, and market position to identify an appropriate innovation. The proposal is expected to draw significantly from the unit's curriculum and involve the full lifecycle of technological innovation.
