Project Brief
The option to work remotely was already being embraced by some businesses in the pre-pandemic era.
These businesses were making some progress to adapt their working practices to accommodate remote
working by allowing those in certain job roles to take the opportunity to work from home, albeit a day or
two a week. However, on the whole there had been a reluctance to have staff working remotely and this
has largely centred around productivity concerns, security implications and technology issues.
The global pandemic however necessitated and accelerated the move to remote working. The vast
majority of businesses have now shifted some or all of their operations online, and almost all of their staff
are working from home. The enabling force behind this necessary shift has been the different technologies
and platforms that facilitate workers to achieve business goals remotely.
This sudden shift to remote working took place within weeks and months and has not been without issues.
Several surveys conducted during this period cited business leaders complaining about how technology
problems have impacted their business and employees while working remotely. The biggest issues remote
workers face are being frequently disconnected from corporate networks, slow file downloads, poor
quality of video meetings and long response times when loading apps.
As a result, building secure, effective and integrated technology capability, to continue this flexibility in
the workforce, has now become a priority for all organisations.
Conduct independent research to investigate “The Remote Working has already started to impact on
the day to day interactions and we have the tools to interact. Explore the ways this may further impact
individuals and society both positively and negatively.”

Guidance for Students
You should read this information before starting your research project. You should refer to these instructions
as your complete work for this unit.

Read the brief and think about what the project brief is asking.

Research what the project brief is asking. How can you approach the problem, opportunity,
hypothesis, and requirements being posed?

Apply a range of secondary research sources to plan/scope and support the project and its
findings. Secondary research sources may include textbooks, journal articles, newspapers, and
magazine articles (not factual accounts).

Develop your project plan based on the deliverables of the project, the constraints of the project, and
the assumptions made.

Conduct your project according to your stated project plan and meet with your tutor to receive a
sign-off at each stage of the project process.

Primary research sources may include original first-hand accounts, legal and historical documents,
results of experiments, and market research data collection. Apply both qualitative and quantitative
research methods to evaluate data collected from primary research.

Keep notes of your progress throughout the project in your logbook. This is an important record of
your work and must be used to record the development of your ideas and your progress through the
project. The logbook should include:

A record of what you did, when, and what you were thinking.

A record of where things went wrong and what you did to overcome any unexpected
results.

You will be asked to reflect on the success of your project and your performance in a personal
performance review at the end of the project. This is a written reflection of around 500 words.

You must complete the project to complete your work for this unit.
