Context:
Now that you have completed:
• a literature review and brief research paper (assessment 1),
• collaborated with a consultancy team to develop a ‘green’ discussion paper and oral presentation for a project proposal focused on one SDG within an organisational context (assessment 2);
• this is your opportunity to bring together all of your learnings and reflection on the process together in a more reflective summary ‘green’ discussion paper (assessment 3).

You should reflect on the individual SDGs and organisations considered by individual team members and he one SDG and organisation selected by the team. Consider the different SDG challenges, organisations and industry sectors to pull together the threads of your learning for this subject, to consider the path forward for organisations in the 21st century. Consider at least three scenarios for the industry sector and organisation you choose. Include yourself in the scenarios. What is your role? What action will you take? What Project proposals will you recommend based on the evidence that you have researched, interrogated and interpreted? So what? Explain the significance of your learning and recommendations.Ensure you provide credible evidence to support your argument, including a range of academic articlesfrom within the Laureate Library. This assignment develops your graduate attributes (employability skills), especially 1, 2 and 4 as articulated in the MBA Program Learning Outcomes. Review models of ‘green’ discussion papers before commencing this assignment. As a discussion paper, you should at least present three scenarios/ options for action, and then recommend action for your preferred option, underpinned with evidence from your research papers. Your discussion paper should include:
1. Cover page with title, name, student ID (access via StudentHub forms)
2. Executive summary ( tell me the explicit key points and recommendation in your paper)
3. Introduction to the SDGs considered by individual team members; the one SDG and organisation/ industry sector for your focus.
4. Background- summary of critical literature (synthesise reviews already completed); the SDG; and organisation context.
5. Discussion: present scenarios/ options for action (at least three)
6. Conclusion: One option for action
7. Recommendations: to implement the option- what-why-how-who-when-milestones? Limitations of your paper? More research pathways?
