####### Part 1: Project Background

####### The COVID pandemic brought a record number of employees to quit or to

####### think about doing so. A recent research by Microsoft (the 2021 Work Trend

####### Index) showed that 41% of the workforce is considering leaving their employer

####### this year. Companies are struggling to address the problem, and many will

####### continue to struggle if they dont really understand their workforce traits as well

####### as the true causes of attrition. By not understanding their employees, what

####### they are running from, and what they might gravitate to, company leaders are

####### putting their very businesses at risk (Mikinsey Quaterly 2021).

####### Concerned with the alarming resignation trend across industries, Contoso

####### (fictional company) C-level executive is keen to gain insights into their current

####### employee base so that appropriate actions can be taken to address this

####### challenge. As consultants working for a leading analytics consulting company,

####### your team has been hired by Contoso to provide an end-to-end visibility on the

####### status quo of their employee base and any insights related to employee

####### attrition.

####### Contosos data engineers have provided your team with access to the

####### semantic models that pulls the data from all their system. (PBIX file with data

####### arranged in a star schema and measures etc.).

####### There are two deliverables required in this assignment (30%):

####### 1. Produce a comprehensive visual report to present the key insights in the

####### datasets (15%).

####### 2. Deliver a oral presentation to communicate key findings to the the C-Level

####### executives at Contoso (in Week 10 tutorial) ( 15 %).

####### Part 2 : Project Deliverables

####### 2 .1 Project expectation

####### Your group assessment is designed as a Sandbox Industry Project which

####### means the assessment involves an actual problem in the industry, and was

####### proposed by data analytics specialists to support you in developing the most

####### relevant and practical knowledge and skill sets. Unlike textbook case studies,

####### these real project specifications will not have step-by-step guidance or a

####### solution template. You will need your learning skills, critical thinking and

####### problem-solving abilities, creativity and proactiveness to do well.

####### To succeed in this project, you will need to manage your learning process

####### carefully including demonstrating agency in performing self-directed

####### learning, conducting research, taking initiative, and more. These tasks are

####### expected to take an average of 12-15 hours (per week) of your time.

####### 2.2 Project deliverables

####### 2.2.1 Produce a visual report that encapsulate key insights

####### The visual report should contain a set of visulizations that you have produced

####### in exploring and presenting the insights from the datasets. Such insights may

####### include but not limited to headcount evolution over time, Job Positions,

####### Male/Female Ratio, Full-Time vs Part-Time Ratio, Employees Age trends,

####### Diversity and Inclusion trends as well as influencers of Attrition.

  • Submission: Week 10 Monday, 1 August 4 .00pm
  • Only ONE submission is required per team.
  • Marking criteria: Please see Appendix for detailed marking rubric.

####### 2.2.2 Deliver a oral presentation to communicate key findings

####### The oral presentation is your opport unity to communicate key findings/insights

####### to the C-level executive at Contoso to address their concerns. You are

####### expected to leverage on different communication techniques such as

####### storytelling to create an effective and engaging presentation. Specifically, your

####### team will need to:

  • Prepare a silde deck for the presentation (12 slides max, everything is

####### included in this page limit)

  • Deliver a oral presentation in Week 10 tutoial (10 minutes max)

####### Any content beyond 12 slides (for the pitch deck) and beyond 10-minute mark

####### (for the pitch video) will NOT be assessed. A detailed marking rubric is

####### provided in Appendix.

####### 2.3 Submission and Presentation

####### During Week 10 tutorials, each group will present their work by sharing their

####### screen and have video camera ready. All group members must participate and

####### present, and be in virtual attendance at the presentation. Slides are expected

####### to be of a high quality and your presentation format should be concise and

####### suitable for senior management. Your presentation will be recorded and

####### shared with your industry mentors from Microsoft Australia.

####### 2.3.1 Submission Format

  • The visual report should be saved in the format of Microsoft Power BI

####### Desktop Document (.pbix) and submitted through Team Assignment

####### Submission Link under the Assessments tab on Moodle page.

  • The slide-deck with speaker notes that summarizes the key points should

####### be submitted as a single file through Team Assignment Submission Link

####### under the Assessments tab on Moodle page.

  • All teams need to submit the files based on the following naming

####### convention: GROUP_ASSIGNMENT_COURSE_CLASS_GROUP NAME

####### i.e. GROUP_ASSIGNMENT_INFS 5700 _W11A_G1.

####### 2 .3.2 Late Submission Penalties

####### Late submissions are subject to a penalty of 5 % of the available marks per

####### day, including weekends and public holidays.

####### Part 3 Opportunities to Engage with Industry Partners

####### Project Introduction Webinar ( 6 pm, Tuesday Week 5 ): Your industry mentors

####### from Microsoft Australia will join us. The Webinar is designed for the industry

####### mentors to share their experiences and perspectives of the challenges in the

####### assignment and answer your questions.

####### Guest Lecture (Week 10): Industry mentors will facilitate a feedback and

####### sharing session. Details will be provided on Moodle closer to the date.

####### Part 4 Dealing with Group Issues and Conflict Resolution

####### Conflict is almost inevitable when you work with others. People have different

####### viewpoints and, under the right set of circumstances, those differences may

####### escalate to conflict. It is common that most groups experience issues at some

####### time. What matters is how you handle that issue or conflict. This will determine

####### whether it works to the team’s advantage or contributes to its demise.

####### Conflict is not necessarily a bad thing, though. Healthy and constructive

####### conflict is a component of high-functioning teams. Conflict arises from

####### differences between people; the same differences that often make diverse

####### teams more effective than those made up of people with similar experience.

####### When people with varying viewpoints, experiences, skills, and opinions are

####### tasked with a project or challenge, the combined effort can far surpass what

####### any group of similar individuals could achieve. Team members must be open

####### to these differences and not let them rise into full-blown disputes.

####### Understanding and appreciating the various viewpoints involved in a conflict

####### are key factors in its resolution. These are key skills for all team members to

####### develop. The important thing is to maintain a healthy balance of constructive

####### difference of opinion and avoid negative conflict that is destructive and

####### disruptive. One of the objectives of this project is to help you build

####### communication and conflict resolution skills. The following resources are

####### included to support you:

####### Guide to Group Work

####### Identifying Group Issues

####### Dealing with Group Work Issues

####### Peer Evaluation

####### A peer evaluation will be conducted at the end of the term to account for equal

####### contribution. Significant unequal contributions should be discussed in due time

####### within the group. In the case that a dispute emerges, the group needs to

####### discuss with the LiC as early as possible. The purpose of the within-group

####### peer evaluation is to critically reflect on the group work, to prevent free-riding

####### and to redistribute marks between group members in cases where free-riding

####### or unequal contributions occur. Claims of unequal contributions, especially if

####### contradicting the evaluation of others, will need to be substantiated with

####### evidence (e.g., group diary, personal diary, meeting notes, emails, Facebook

####### messages). The LiC will make a final judgement in the case that a dispute

####### emerges, calling in the group, considering earlier discussions and submitted

####### evidence. Overall, active and genuine collaboration from each team member

####### will lead to a well-performed team project.
