In this assignment, students will dive deep into a particular challenge or opportunity that you provide. They’ll work with a contact from your organization to gain a thorough understanding of the needs of your business and (if applicable) the competitive landscape of your industry.

Examples could include, but are not limited to:

- How can we improve our supply chain processes to be more responsive to changes in demand?
- How can we introduce quality assurance into our internal processes?
- What technologies should we be leveraging for internal communication?
