Steps 1 + 2: Choosing an Organisation + a Priority
Steps 1 + 2 from Figure 1 need to be completed as follows:
Step 1: Choose an organisation
Choose one of the following organisations for your assignment – you will focus on your chosen organisation in Parts 1 & 2 so pick something you like!

• Coca-Cola
• Netflix
• Apple
• Nike
Step 2: Identify a priority from a legal or management perspective.
Identify a single key priority.
How to identify a priority?
You have two choices: (1) Come up with one yourself; or (2) look up publicly available reports produced by your chosen organisation and identify a priority from their reports that is most relevant according to your interest.
This priority will be the focus of both Parts 1 and 2 of your assignment.
As you will need to build a working dashboard in Part 2 you have to think ahead now and identify a priority in an area where you can obtain enough data from different sources to be able to construct your dashboard.
Once you have completed these two steps move on to Step 3.
Step 3: Identifying Supporting Questions for your Chosen Priority
Now that you have completed Steps 1 + Step 2 from Figure 1, in Step 3 it’s time to come up with questions you will pose in Assignment Part 1 and will ultimately give insight into this priority in Part 2, with real data in your working dashboard.
Step 3: For Assignment Part 1 you need to come up with 5 questions the proposed dashboard will be able to deliver insights for that the CEO can’t answer now or can’t answer easily (otherwise why would you get the job?!?).
Question Self check: by providing insights to your proposed questions, will the CEO/Owner be able to use the dashboard to understand and plan for the priority?
When you construct your questions, remember you will use these questions to produce the visualisations in your dashboard in Part 2 – so think ahead and develop questions for which you can obtain enough data from different sources to be able to construct your dashboard.
Written Proposal for Steps 1, 2 + 3: Presentation + Structure
For the purpose of this assignment, you can assume your client (the reader) knows a little about BI. You should also assume they don’t have any BI dashboards around the priority that you’ve chosen but
obviously would have data.
