Leading Through Digital Change – Digital Transformation Report
This formative assessment for the Leading Through Digital Change module requires students to act as a Digital Transformation Specialist and prepare a Digital Transformation Report for a selected retail organisation. The assessment focuses on how traditional brick-and-mortar retailers can respond to the rapid growth of e-commerce and changing customer expectations. Students are required to evaluate the digital changes affecting their selected organisation and propose appropriate strategic changes that can help maintain competitiveness and create business value. The assessment is aligned with Learning Outcome 1, which focuses on applying knowledge and understanding of management and leadership strategies in organisations experiencing digital change. Students must select one organisation from the options provided in the assessment brief. The available organisations are River Island, Khaadi, Shoprite Holdings Ltd, Reliance Retail and Carphone Warehouse. Each organisation operates within the retail sector but has different markets, products and business contexts, allowing students to investigate digital transformation from an organisational perspective. The main task requires students to critically review and propose an appropriate digital transformation strategic framework that the selected organisation should employ in response to current digital change. Students must use one digital transformation framework from the specified choices: McKinsey 4Ds, BCG 3 Stages, Gartner's 6 Steps or Cognizant's 4 Pillars. The chosen framework should be applied to the organisation rather than simply described. The report should also establish digital transformation objectives that support important organisational departments, particularly operations, ICT and marketing. Examples may be used to strengthen the discussion, while higher-level work should demonstrate extensive personal research and critical evaluation. The report should demonstrate an understanding of the organisation's technological challenges, factors driving digital transformation, internal and external threats, opportunities and emerging digital practices. Stronger submissions are expected to provide clear justification for the selected transformation framework and explain how proposed objectives connect with the factors driving the organisation's digital transformation. The marking criteria place importance on knowledge, analysis, justification, evidence-based discussion and the use of relevant and recent research. The submission has a maximum main-body word count of 1,000 words. The cover page, table of contents, list of abbreviations, references and appendices are excluded from the word count. The required structure includes the BPP cover sheet, table of contents, list of abbreviations where appropriate, introduction, Task 1, conclusion, references and appendix if required. The report must be written in the third person, use professional academic formatting, include correctly labelled tables and figures where applicable, and use Harvard referencing and in-text citations. Overall, the assessment develops students' ability to analyse digital transformation challenges in retail organisations and apply management and leadership concepts to develop a strategically justified response to digital change. It combines organisational analysis, digital transformation frameworks, strategic objectives, academic research and professional business-report writing.

Digital Transformation Report and Poster
This assessment requires students to act as a Senior Digital Transformation Manager and produce a Digital Transformation Report and Poster for one selected sports retail organisation. The purpose of the assessment is to evaluate the organisation's current digital environment and recommend changes that can help it maintain competitive advantage and create business value in response to continuing digital change, changing consumer expectations, e-commerce growth, sustainability requirements, digital innovation and supply chain resilience. The assessment consists of three connected sections addressing digital transformation strategy, future digital trends and digital leadership. The first section requires students to critically review and propose an appropriate digital transformation strategic framework for their selected organisation. Students must select and apply one framework from McKinsey's 4Ds, BCG's 3 Stages, Gartner's 6 Steps or Cognizant's 4 Pillars. The framework should be applied to the chosen organisation rather than simply described. The analysis should also establish digital transformation objectives that support key business functions such as operations, ICT and marketing, with relevant examples and evidence from research used to strengthen the discussion. The second section requires the design of an A4 poster evaluating two disruptive technologies or techniques that are likely to influence the smartphone industry, employment and the labour market over the next five years. Potential technologies identified in the brief include Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, 5G connectivity, Internet of Things, robotics, drone delivery, blockchain, augmented reality and virtual reality. The poster should communicate the expected impact of the selected technologies using academic literature and real-life examples. The third section focuses on digital leadership. Students must analyse and propose two appropriate digital leadership styles that the selected organisation should develop to effectively manage and support digital transformation. Possible approaches include hyperaware agile leadership, ethical technology leadership, people-oriented leadership, agile leadership and Goleman's leadership styles. The recommendations should be supported by relevant theories, academic literature and real organisational examples. The assessment is aligned with three learning outcomes. These address the application of management and leadership strategies during digital change, critical assessment of the impact of digital change on markets, organisations and employees, and evaluation of the leadership attributes and skills required to manage organisations and people in digitally changing environments. The final submission must include a clear introduction and conclusion, demonstrate intellectual originality and critical analysis, use appropriate academic evidence and follow Harvard referencing. The report is limited to 1,500 words, excluding the A4 poster, and students must select only one of the specified sports retail organisations for their analysis. The selected organisation should be analysed consistently across the strategic framework, future technology and digital leadership sections.
