Assignment 1:

This assignment continues on from the journals you produced earlier. You are expected to write a thoroughly analyzed report.
In the journal, we discussed a technology that is an alternative to the computer mouse. An Australian Organization XYZ came to know about this technology and thought this technology would be suitable to their needs. The main reason for this thinking is that XYZ provides a lot of transcription services, and the employees use computer mouse extensively in their workplace. Recently, an audit of workplace safety indicated that many employees might be suffering with wrist related issues as a result of long term computer mouse use, as employees of XYZ are mature people in their late 50's.

Note: for the purpose of this assignment, with the above scope, you make assumptions about XYZ (type of organization, employee numbers, existing technology etc) and provide these assumptions as scope of your report.

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) of XYZ is interested in investigating the alternate mouse technology (airmouse) and its suitability to their organization. XYZ has chosen you to investigate the suitability of airmouse to their organization in terms of technology and integration.

The CIO is very interested to understand the specific digital innovation of airmouse and how this innovation would influence his current issue on hand, namely avoiding any possible risks due to long terms computer mouse usage.
Your task is to provide a comprehensive discussion as to how the digital innovation of airmouse would avoid wrist related injuries to people in an organization and how this technology can be integrated in an organization.

Following on from the previous journals, the CIO would like to see the following key elements investigated and reported in this report.

1. Specific innovation of the airmouse technology
2. Potential risks in using this technology for an organization
3. How this technology can be 'integrated' in the organization
4. In the long term, how the technology can be managed

Your scope is to identify various elements of strategic planning processes applicable to the chosen organization (you will need to search very specific literature in this domain), and then discuss how the innovative processes and innovative technologies will impact the strategic planning processes.

Assignment 2:

This assignment continues from the first assignment and your task is to write a report on the following aspects.

Following on from the previous assignment, the CIO was comfortable with what has been proposed by you in the first assignment and would like to see three key elements be investigated and reported further in this assignment.

The processes and procedural considerations for implementing the technology in XYZ.

A detailed analysis of implications if the organizations fail to understand the risks you identified in the previous report?

For the purpose of this assignment, you will have to recap your previous assignment (in 250 words) and then provide a well-researched and informed report to the CIO.
