Organisations are constantly enacting interventions to achieve various goals or reacting to policy changes and environmental changes that affect them. This course will be a fully problem-based learning experience. Students work in teams acting as management consultants in order to use insights from data analysis to address one of three types of generic problems: (i) to motivate and design an intervention; (ii) to identify and manage risk relating to those interventions; or (iii) to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of interventions. The course is equally relevant for evidence-based decision-making in business, government, and not-for-profit organisations. As a synthesis course, students are expected to apply and integrate the knowledge and skills gained over their degree to complete their reports and communicate their findings.
