Executive Summary
This present paper had outlined one report on a complex service-based project. The considered service project for this present study was on the transportation industry. The famous and much talked-about “SciTech Science Centre” was the focus of this research paper. The study began with giving a brief understanding on the project. The aim and requirement of initiating this mega project were shown in terms of influencing the entire Western Australian population’s mindset to STEM efficiency set. Moreover, on the successful completion of the project, the excessive pressure on the state’s business and job context could have also been demonstrated from better perspective. Then the focus of this research paper had turned on the key problems associated with the project. It was through initiating one secondary qualitative research method that enough information on the SciTech project was gathered. Hence, the time-taking context in terms of excessive delay and overrunning the estimated budget again and again were found to be the prime 2 problem areas for the concerned project. Then some creative ideas in terms of rectifying the problems had been demonstrated in the light of using Innovation and technology industry-based innovations like AR, Laser Scanner and so on. The proposal of rescheduling the project planning and arranging quick funding was also found to be beneficial enough in rectifying the funding shortage for the project. The relevance of these proposed ideas had also been demonstrated in terms of project outcomes’ delivery. In total, the change processes regarding the identified problems were found to be highly relevant in initiating both the .localized and global Technological pictures.

Introduction
The term “Service-Oriented Project” can be treated as any proposed service delivery’s operational process. The ultimate aim of such service-based projects is to offer any differentiated and beneficial service delivery and hence initiate such capabilities throughout the operational phase (Stickdorn & Schneider, 2017). Moreover, it takes into account the ultimate business objectives for driving the innate system behaviour. Furthermore, it directs and controls the whole focus on that project’s schedule, requirements as well as budget to come to an ultimate success. This present study premise is going to present one standardised report on such a complex service-oriented project. A detailed research approach will be undertaken to identify all the prime problem areas surrounding that considered project. Moreover, this report will also aim in generating some concept or idea in handling the identified project problems. Then the proposed delivery schedule and outcomes of those project concepts in rectifying the problems and assisting the project for anticipated success will also be demonstrated herein.
Initial Problem
The SciTech Project will be evaluated here in critical premises in terms of its initial problem identification. SciTech can be treated as one not-for-profit Australian organisation that is operating like a “SciTech Science Centre” that is one permanent and interactive museum of science including one huge Planetarium in Western Australia’s West Perth. The prime aim of the SciTech Project is to arouse the young Australian’s interest and changing their attitude towards the STEM streams. It had been found from the PwC 2015 report, that a huge proportion of Australian professionals’ jobs are at stake as they are lacking the knowledge and efficiencies in STEM “Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics” contexts. With the interventions of disruptive technologies in near about all major business industries all across Australia, the need of STEM professionals had come up as one mandate. Hence, SciTech project aims to enhance the participation, capability, interest and awareness by entire Western Australian populations in STEM streams. SciTech hence organises many exhibitions and programs for early childhood to 12 years-ranged populations along with adults. It had been found that SciTech wants to have one targeted deeper reach through its Aboriginal programs, Primary and Secondary science shows, DIY science kits and so on. It had een seen that even after having such a wide science planetarium, lab, space and theatres, it is still being restricted to a certain number of school visits each year. In order to fulfill SciTech’s strategic plan of expanding its impact on a greater target audience including people of low socio-economic context, remote population of Western Australia, Regional population, Aboriginal people, females and youth, it is not able to get the deeper reach as per the envisaged planning (scitech.org.au, 2021).
Research Method
Considering the SciTech project, one robust research method had been initiated on it. The ultimate aim of demonstrating such vivid research was to obtain the required information on the SciTech project and all its existing barriers. It was found that SciTech is surely one highly ambitious project that accounts for a complex project management and operational context in changing the Western Australian populations’ attitude to the STEM streams. Moreover, the proposed project is also found to be termed as momentum ‘failure’ due to its deeper reach-oriented strategic plan. The project is already crossed its scheduled budget and time schedule to get completed and it is also assumed to take more than 7 to 8 years. All these detailed information on the concerned project although was gathered through implementing one Secondary research method (Patton, 2002). That means the secondary sources had been gone through for attaining enough datasets and information on the SciTech project. The derived information although are mostly qualitative in nature as the detailed analysis on what had gone wrong in this significant project had been obtained. Further, some quantitative figures like changed budget statistics of the project had also been collected through the research process. Taking the resource of the online database, many articles had been found where much information on the SciTech project was outlined. Hence, those articles on the SciTech project had been considered for this research along with considering the official website for SciTech planetarium, theatres and labs”. These sources and the secondary research method were surely highly relevant for the research as they were the best sources to gather detailed information on the project (Hesse-Biber & Leavy, 2006). Moreover, considering any primary research could have been highly costly and time-taking. Therefore, secondary research can be termed as the most beneficial and effective one for this present paper. Using the keywords like “SciTech Science Centre” had assisted in showing huge information sources on the concerned project. Furthermore, many scholarly journals were also available on the particular project and those papers were also taken into this secondary research method. The planning process and the life-cycle assessment of the SciTech Science Centre project thus had been derived in an in-depth context.
Redefined Problem
Constituting the above-mentioned Secondary research method, the prime problem areas surrounding the project had already been identified. Hence, the focus areas regarding the project which need further outlook can be easily...
