The Tata Steel Ideation Contest

MIS Assignment

Problem statement

Tata Steel is looking for an original idea that will use any aspect of digital technology (cloud, mobile, Android, iOS etc ) to create an application or platform that can be integrated with the strategic management requirements of the company. Since this is an ideation contest, no software need to be built but paper must contain the following sections.
  1. Identify a need or a gap in the current management architecture of Tata Steel. Information available in the public domain can be used for this purpose.
  2. Propose a solution that will show how the current gap can be closed or narrowed significantly
  3. If possible give examples where a similar solution has or is being implemented.
  4. List benefits -- economic or otherwise -- that will accrue to the company if it is implemented. Also identify potential problems or difficulties that need to be guarded against.
  5. Provide  rough estimate of costs including people costs that the company would have to incur as a one time expense and as a regular expense.

Proposed solution

The central idea of the system is creating closed groups of employees in the organization. Inside these groups everyone is able to share their ideas, their day to day problems, the challenges they faced and how they tackled them. The respective managers will have access to all this information & he can look at the information is an unbiased & unprejudiced manner.
