	LO1 - Evaluate a company or business’ capability, identifying where additional capability is required and develop a research strategy appropriate for identified technology/information capability acquisition.
	LO2 - Assimilate detailed information relating to a high level technical topic delivered through lecture format and create an appropriate short portfolio of information (lecture notes, self-sourced material).
	LO3 - Use a portfolio of information relating to a high level technical topic to deliver a reasoned, insightful and appropriate response to an externally posed question.
	LO4 - Conduct a literature review to gather appropriate detailed information relating to a new or rapidly advancing technology including relevant factors from: market, political, environmental, societal, history, state-of-the-art, future developments
	LO5 - Write a professional standard Case Study Report that combines information from literature reviewed and presents an evidence-based analysis.
