This project requires you to review an organisation’s digital strategy and then make recommendations regarding the digital strategy.

Vocational education and training is all about gaining and developing practical skills that are industry relevant and that can help you to succeed in your chosen career. For this reason, we are giving you the choice to base this project on your own business, one you work in or a familiar with, or you can use the case study provided. This will mean that you are applying your knowledge and skills in a relevant, practical and meaningful way to your own situation!

It is important that you are able to access enough information for your chosen business in order to be able to do your assessment. As a minimum this should include:

· Workplace objectives, as well as policies and procedures relevant to digital strategy

· Relevant standards, laws, regulations

· Industry and organisation codes of practice and standards.

If you are completing this for the case study business, all of the above information is accessible through your Simulation Pack. If it is your own business then you must be able to access all of the above information.

As part of this assessment, you will also need to communicate with internal stakeholders. Your communication may be either directly with actual staff members or fellow students/your assessor can play the roles of relevant people/parties. Communication can be in any appropriate format (e.g., face to face, video conference, email) as long as it meets the requirements outlined in the Project Portfolio. More details are included in the relevant activity step.

You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio. The steps you need to take are outlined below.

Make sure you are familiar with the organisation you are basing this assessment on and have read through the necessary background information. For the case study business, this is all of the documents included in the Simulation Pack. If it’s your own business or a business where you are working or are familiar with, have your business or case study approved by your assessor.
