Assessment 2 - GROUP Presentation and Report (40% of final mark)

This is a GROUP assessment that consists oftwo components:

1. presentation of Design Thinking process

2. Written report, critically discussing critically discussing what you would do differently if you had to do Design Thinking again

Requirements

• identify a problem that could be addressed/improved through Design Thinking (the problem may be of a social, service, commercial or digital nature);


• use Design Thinking tools, techniques and mind-set to develop ideas for innovations that address/improve the problem you have identified;


• consider future steps to launch potential innovative solutions to your chosen problem;


• present the Design Thinking process that you have applied to identify the problem and reach potential innovative solutions; and


• develop a written report critically exploring the use of ONE tool or ONE phase of the Design Thinking process that your group utilised to undertake and complete the assessment

Presentation:

The presentation reports on the Design Thinking activities your team has carried out to deeply understand the problem you have chosen and to achieve potential innovative solution(s) to said problem - there is no maximum of activities you should carry out as this depends upon how you progress with your problem finding and deep dive, and whether you have repeated some activities multiple times. However,as an absolute minimum, you are expected to report on 10 activities as per the prescribed textbook. Your presentation must cover the following:

1. What activities have you carried out and why?

2. What were the outcomes of each activity?

3. What outcome(s) did you choose to bring into the next activity and why?

4. Where - within the Design Thinking process - are you at the point of presenting?

You should ensure that you go beyond purely describing the activities and instead include somecritical evaluation of the tools' meritto your particular Design Thinking process. The description of activities, tools and techniques requiresreferences to relevant literature and evidence of your involvement with these activities. You can evidence this, for instance, by including photographs of your activities that you should be compiling for your blog in assessment 3 anyway, but please remember that this group report deals with your ACTIVITIES and their OUTCOMES, not with the REFLECTIONS on your personal learning. An absolute minimum of 15 academic references is required. Further supporting material is available in Moodle.
Presentations should bebetween 13 and 15 minutesin duration - presenters will be stopped if they go over the 15 minute mark. Each team member should contribute roughly equally. Presentations should make use of PowerPoint slides, which have to be submitted via Moodle by the given deadline.
You are STRONGLY encouraged to utilise other visual aids (printed diagrams, prototypes, etc.) to support your presentation.

Report:


This is a GROUP report, which should be1,600 to 2,000 words, excluding preliminaries, tables, figures, references and appendices.The report will differ in content to the presentation. To successfully complete this part of the assessment, you must critically reflect on your group's experience of carrying out Design Thinking tools for your project. You must then answer this question:Reflect on ONE tool or ONE phase of the Design Thinking process that your group utilised for Assessment 2. In this reflection, critically evaluate your group’s experience of completing this Design Thinking tool/phase for your group assessment.In preparing the report for this assessment, your group is required to specifically discuss what worked well and what did not work well, and where improvements might have been made. You must also refer to the relevant literature explored towards understanding this ONE tool or phase. An absoluteMINIMUM of 15academic references is required.

·
Do report and presentation cover the same content?No - please read the unit profile and assessment briefing information. The presentation shows us what DT tools you have used to understand your chosen problem. The report is a group reflection.The report asks you to critically reflect on one tool or phase that your group utilised to undertake and complete the assessment.

·
Should the report focus on a different problem than the presentation?The report does not focus on a specific problem at all. The presentation demonstrates the DT tools your group has used to understand your problem. The report asks you to critically reflect on one tool or phase that your group utilised to undertake and complete the assessment. Please refer to the unit profile and assessment resources - neither of those documents states that the report has to focus on a problem! Please make use of these key documents and address the task as per the unit profile!

the attached ppt includes detailed information on design thinking tools and process. please read carefully. the pdf file details about how presentation has to look like.
