This is something that we in Torrens adapt to on a daily basis as part of a global organisation. We need to take into account not only time and space, but other elements of diversity to collaborate effectively for organisational outcomes. Task: This assignment is designed for you to critically reflect on key themes for this subject: individual and group decision-making processes; sources of data and analysis, including usage of data analytics for organisational decision-making, and the influence of bias in effective decision-making. In doing so, you should consider a meaningful work challenge – a project that requires many decisions to be made- that is relevant for you- in your current, or recent workplace. [NOTE: Torrens University is a workplace and you have a special role in it.].  MGT602_Assess 3_Research Analysis 2 of 4 CHECKPOINT: Submit a draft of your outline and discuss your report proposal with your Learning Facilitator by WEEK 9. Your task is to analyse the project from the perspective of decision-making points/stages. In the analysis, you are to consider: 1. The sources of data, and the use of data analytics to identify trends/ patterns that form the evidence for decision-making; 2. Show visualisation of the decision-making process, and analytics to support the decisionmaking; 3. Select at least three decision-making tools and technologies from within the subject modules and show their application for your project. Consider if the decision would be the same/ different by using multiple methods. 4.
