Slide Content
Slide 1: Cover page
Slide 2: Explanation of why having people return to work in the office, post-covid is a wicked problem in Australia, with the application of data sets.
Slide 3: Reframe the problem in terms of a question or questions that could lead to micro-solutions and recommendations, i.e. approaching the bigger problem via smaller ones. For example, perhaps you could focus on productivity, work-life balance or improvements to office design. This is to be a unique initiative of your group, which would lead to a more specific solution.
Slide 4: Explain the elements of the system now that you have reframed it.
Slide 5: List the possible perspectives of different "players" in the system.
Slide 6: List the boundaries (scope and scale of the system), having reframed the problem.
Slide 7: Apply three datasets to the problem, now that you have reframed it? Explain how these data sets offer fresh insight to the problem..
Slide 8: Apply the Iceberg model (using Systemic Thinking in contrast to Systems Thinking) to identify underlying causes for the problem (see week 3 slides Book Our Assignment Help Service Now!).
Slide 9: Suggest some preliminary recommendations, solutions and suggest next steps. Slide 10: References (both academic and "grey" material)
