To successfully complete Assessment two (2) students will write a comprehensive report
that helps resolve the problem they introduced in Assessment 1. Using the resulting
discussion as a platform students are required to analyse and synthesise consequences on
various stakeholders involved while achieving the goals and objectives through policy
implementation. There are two (2) sections to Assessment 2
1) Rich Picture – Students are to create a Rich Picture of the problem they identified in
Assessment 1. This can be hand drawn and should provide an consise overview of
the complex system under review.
2) Root Definition report using CATWOE – A Root Definition report is a structured
analysis and description of the system being investigated. A Root Definition report
explains the what, how and why. A CATWOE analysis can help in the development of
a thorough Root Definition Report. CATWOE is a mnemonic that identifys all
stakeholders in the system being analysed. CATWOE stands for
C- Customers/clients
A – Actors
T – Transformation Process
W- Weltanschauung / Worldview
O – Owners
E- Environment
To successfully complete Assessment 2 both sections must be completed. Your final report
must include
• Rich Picture
• Root Definition Report using CATWOE.
• And, based on these two tools, students will recommend a minimum of two (2)
optimal solutions to overcome the problem/policy challenge identified in
Assessment 1.
PLEASE NOTE: Your artistic talent will not be assessed, but rather your holistic
understanding of the problem in question.
