Logistics and Supply Chain Management Business Design Project 1 is a course in the final year of the 4-year program, Bachelor of Business (Logistics & Supply Chain) Applied. It involves the development of a project from conception to implementation. So we are seeking real challenges that will run over 24 teaching weeks (2 semesters).

Students will apply design thinking principles and techniques to produce a project proposal that addresses a contemporary business challenge. They will engage with the creation, development and pitching of a proposal, which will form the foundation for its creative execution in Logistics and Supply Chain Management Business Design Project 2.

METHOD

Students are required to use the SCRUM methodology which refers to the fixed time periods as Sprints. They also undertake a theoretical examination of PMBoK.

Learning activities involve:

1. Project design and planning

2. Project execution and delivery

3. Project management theory

Project design and planning

The first step is to prepare a proposal for the project. The proposal will be based on an initial brief prepared by the client and on a discussion that students will have with the client during the first week on the project.

The students are expected to deliver a completed project at the end of Business Design Project 2.
