Description
B R I E F
Prepare a project scoping document (1,000 words) connecting relevant subjects with the Industry Project.
My understanding is that ITUS (who have been predominantly Australian
centric) are wanting to build their international capacity, but in the
wake of COVID, want to do that from an Australian base. The intention
would be to be remote first, and thus have no physical office presence
anywhere. Everyone works from a home base, including people working in
another country.
A broad context might be to consider emerging
research around “the future of work”, and to also examine start-ups that
have scaled in this way successfully. Canva and Culture Amp are both
Australian start-ups that come to mind.
The CEO has
asked about Best Practice, examples and considerations, and
recommendations on how to create a remote first culture. She states that
the recommendations will guide how ITUS hires and how they create a
desired culture from the beginning. Things like achieving engagement,
retention and talent development seem relevant. Georgia has asked though
that we check in on assumptions for validation so that we don’t waste
time exploring an irrelevant topic.
If you consider these
deliverables through the lenses of your units of study for this
trimester, you could hypothesise about what aspects of each unit you
anticipate being of relevance to this project. 275 words for each of 3
units, 75 for an intro and 100 for a conclusion…….you’re about
there. I suggest having a look at the assignment rubric before you start
so you are aligned to expectation.

For this assignment, you are required to define how each subject you have completed will contribute to your
industry project. The scoping document can remain ‘high level,’ but it must provide specific detail per subject.
Each subject should be covered and should be around 300 words in length for each. For your project scoping
document, you should include the following elements:
1. Introduction
a. Identify and briefly summaries which subjects are relevant to you. For example, if you have
taken Ethics and Decision Making, People & Culture, and Finance for Managers, you will focus
your scoping document on these topics.
2. Subject Relevance
a. For each subject, provide a high–level overview summary. You may want to look at the
learning outcomes to assist you in your summary.
b. Describe how each subject will assist with managing and implementing your industry project.
You should strive to link subjects’ topics, theories, or concepts with management and
implementation practices.
c. Explain how each subject may assist you with the different roles and responsibilities you may
have within the group. Additionally, consider how subject content might help you and your
team when challenges, issues, or conflicts arise. Be sure to link any topics, theories, or
concepts with your ideas.
