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.
