• You should aim to draw on ideas from at least three separate weeks across any of the courses.
• You should describe the changes you would like to make succinctly
• The changes could relate to your own personal practice, your team, or the wider organisation.
• You can draw on the assignments you have already prepared during the Program.
• When justifying your choice you should write at least 800 words to explain why the changes are needed, the benefits you would hope to achieve, and clearly show how course learning has informed your choice.
• When identifying challenges you should use evidence from both the workplace and your learning. You should aim to write at least 300 words in this area.
• Sources of ideas and material must be fully and accurately referenced. You should use the Harvard referencing system, guidance is provided in the assessment course.
