Group submission – the Video
A persuasive video presentation encompassing the findings, strategy and utilising previously learned skills now taken to the next level as visited during this part of the CM4: Complex Decision Making Challenge to persuade an audience of non-experts. This would be, for example, an executive board where the CXOs might not have a background in statistics or psychology or strategy, so no jargon should be used, but they are, of course, senior business leaders and you should pitch your messaging appropriately.
You must submit a 4-5 minute video in .mp4 format or a link to where you have posted the video on the internet (YouTube, Vimeo etc.). Make sure you give the appropriate permissions for anyone with the link to view the video.
The video can include slides but importantly it must show all members of the team talking about your findings.
The video must be a well-organized presentation of your findings and strategy summarizing your findings and strategic recommendations, and this must explain your analysis and plan to a non-expert. This will challenge you to explain data simply without using jargon and why the plan has been developed.
Your video presentation must include the following:
Forecasting Analysis: Detailed methodology and projected call volumes.
Poisson Distribution Analysis: Summary report with probability calculations.
Decision Tree Diagram: Diagram and explanation of staffing decisions.
Probability and Service Level Report: Calculations and recommendations for service level optimization.
Strategic Plan: Comprehensive strategic plan with actionable recommendations and metrics.
Customer Experience Plan: Recommendations to maximise the caller customer experience.
You will be graded very much on your ability to communicate the decisions and the reasons behind them, rather than the detail of the analysis. That detail is assessed in your report.
This assignment page is where you submit the Video. It is worth 5% of the total grade.

During my HISCO Annual Operation Review (AOR), I gained significant insights that are both qualitative and quantitative, which I can apply to enhance our operations in the short and long term.
Quantitatively, one critical learning was the analysis of operational efficiency metrics. Firstly, I recognized the importance of data analysis in decision-making. Analyzing historical sales data revealed clear patterns that can guide our marketing strategies. For example, I identified that HISCO consistently peaks in sales during the holiday season. By reviewing our throughput and cycle times, we discovered that integrating new technology could reduce processing time by approximately 25%. This data-driven approach enables us to make informed decisions about where to invest our resources for immediate impact, particularly in streamlining workflows and reducing costs. Through interactions with Role Play, I have learned the critical importance of clear communication, active listening, and understanding the context in which Business is premised. This quantitative insight allows me to allocate budget and resources strategically in the short term, ensuring that I capitalize on high-demand periods.
Qualitatively, I learned the importance of fostering a collaborative culture among team members. I have learned the value of stakeholder communication. Regularly engaging with team members and clients about their preferences and feedback fosters a culture of collaboration. Also, I have observed patterns in clients’ queries, which has allowed me to optimize responses for efficiency and relevance. This data-driven approach has enabled me to continuously improve my performance and enhance customer satisfaction. This helps me to understand not just the numbers, but also the customer sentiment driving those numbers. Through open dialogue and feedback sessions, we identified areas for improvement that were not evident through data alone. For instance, employee morale directly impacts productivity, and addressing employee concerns led to a more cohesive team environment, ultimately enhancing performance.
In the real world, these learnings can be applied in various scenarios. In the short term, I can focus on refining my responses to better meet customer needs, improving overall customer satisfaction. In the long term, I can utilize feedback mechanisms to adapt to changing customer preferences, ensuring continued relevance and effectiveness. These insights can inform product development and enhance customer satisfaction. Additionally, I can leverage data analytics to identify trends and insights that inform strategic decision-making and drive innovation in AI technologies. By utilizing data and maintaining open lines of communication, I am confident that I can achieve a more sustainable growth trajectory for our organization. Also, by combining qualitative understanding with quantitative analysis, I can enhance my capabilities and deliver more value to customers over time. The principles of adaptive strategy and data-informed decision-making will become foundational elements in my approach, ultimately leading to better outcomes for both the business and my clients.

Class Discussion Post: “An Econ Lesson From a Science Teacher”
Summary of the Article:
The article “An Econ Lesson From a Science Teacher” highlights how a high school science teacher incorporates economic principles into classroom discussions in a practical and engaging way. The teacher uses real-world examples and simplified analogies to explain complex topics like supply and demand, scarcity, and opportunity cost. This approach helps students connect abstract economic concepts to everyday decisions, making economics more accessible and relatable. The article emphasizes the value of interdisciplinary teaching, showing how blending subjects like science and economics can foster a deeper understanding.
I found the use of real-life analogies particularly insightful. By framing economics in the context of daily experiences, students can grasp concepts that might otherwise feel abstract or irrelevant. For example, understanding opportunity cost becomes much clearer when students consider the trade-offs they make every day, like spending time on homework versus hanging out with friends.
I agree with the teacher’s approach because making economics relatable encourages student engagement and participation, which is crucial in high school settings. Other subjects, such as math or history, could also benefit from this type of interdisciplinary, real-world application to show students how concepts fit into their lives.
However, one potential drawback I noticed is that oversimplifying economic concepts could lead to gaps in understanding. For example, focusing too much on relatable examples might overlook the complexities involved in government policies or global trade. Economics involves a mix of behavioral, political, and financial factors that may be difficult to convey through simplified analogies alone.
I’ve experienced similar teaching techniques in my classes. For instance, one math teacher used budgeting scenarios to explain percentages and interest rates, which made the lesson more engaging and easier to follow. This kind of interdisciplinary teaching encourages students to apply what they learn in practical ways, making the subject feel relevant.
While this approach clearly has benefits, it might also hinder students in the long run if they are not introduced to more formal economic theories and terminology as they progress in their studies. A balance between simplicity and depth is necessary to ensure students are prepared for advanced coursework.
Do you think that simplifying economics for high school students risks creating misunderstandings about more complex economic principles, or does it offer the best foundation for deeper learning in the future? Why or why not?
