Project Overview:
In this COIL project, the students studying at one of our partnership institutions in Dubai interacted with a member of staff on campus at Coventry University. Adopting a leadership role, they created a communication plan, responded to staffing problems facing the client, made real time decisions to resolve issues and delivered a presentation to tender for a refurbishment project.
This project enabled the students to demonstrate the use of a range of visual and verbal communication skills appropriate for project management within a specific simulated HR scenario as well as understanding the risks associated with managing a project. It was unique as the students had to work under time constraints to complete key deliverables appropriate for a real-life activity. They received real-time responses to each of the tasks and had to make quick decisions based on new information they were provided with.
