Assessment Scenario

Modern media consumption habits have completely changed as a result of the development of digital technologies. Online communities and streaming services have upended traditional media platforms like cable and satellite television. The media industry as a whole has been significantly impacted by this change in media consumption tendencies.

As the main public service broadcaster in the UK, the BBC’s mission is to inform, educate and entertain (Article 57 of the Royal Charter, 2022). Hence in May 2022, the BBC announced that it would be taking a new ‘digital-first’ approach to meet the industry demand. However, a report from National Audit Office (NAO) casted doubt on the ability of the BBC to build a digital-first public service media organisation and manage the future demands of viewers and listeners (nao,2023).

For this assignment, you will be acting as the new “Digital Transformation Consultant” responsible for coordinating and providing technology expertise to the BBC.

As part of your new role, the senior board members have tasked you to produce a “Digital Trend Report” designed to evaluate and recommend changes that the organisation must implement by means to maintain a competitive edge in a disruptive media industry.

Task 2: Digital Business Agility and Technologies (LO2)

Some key emerging technologies to consider include Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, 5G Connectivity, IoT, Virtual and Extended Reality, Robotic process automation (RPA).

Task 3: Creating Digital-Ready Culture (LO3)

Strong digital cultures also foster creativity and adaptability. Subsequently, Task 3 requires you to analyse and conceptualise a strong digital culture approach that your organisation can adopt by using digital tools and data-powered insights to drive decisions and customer centricity while innovating and collaborating across the organization.

• Important: Please support your argument with academic literature and real case examples. You can use the 4 Pillars of Digital Culture or other relevant models as a guide to drive your analyses and recommendations.

Task 4: Adopting Digital Leadership (LO4)

Analyse and propose two (2) appropriate digital leadership styles that your organisation could develop further by means to support digital transformation and increase team collaboration throughout the organisation.

• Important: You have been introduced to concepts such us hyperaware agile leaders, ethical-tech leaders, people-oriented leadership, agile leadership, or the 6 Goleman leadership styles. Therefore, these can be potential replies. However, any other relevant response is still valid.
