ASSIGNMENT DETAILS

A portfolio organised to collect pieces of evidence on your learning journey will be used to assess this module. The portfolio will comprise pieces of evidence that underpin your decision-making process and a summary report that showcases the knowledge gained, skills developed and your experience throughout the simulation exercise. Your task is to create your portfolio comprising two key components- evidence of your decision-making process (across all departments) and a SUMMARY REPORT. Your evidence of decision-making process will be produced upon completion of simulation rounds 5-8 and will comprise evidence of concepts, theories and justifications that guide your decisions and results, specific to the round of simulation being appraised. Your summary report (1500 words) concludes your portfolio.

TASKS

Upon completing the first part of the simulation, you are now required to build your portfolio during the second part by providing evidence of your decision-making process (across all departments) on rounds 5-8 focusing on the department you led during the rounds starting with round 5 activity by mid-term. This will be followed by your summary report at the end of the simulation exercise.

The pieces of evidence for the different departments should comprise the following:

Task one: Decision-making process artefacts (LO 1,2,3,4 & 5) I Units 6-9

Situation analysis and Goals for the round
Strategies adopted and Result evaluation

Your summary report should comprise the following:

Task two: Summary Report (LO3 & 4) I Unit 9
