The 4-Point Approach
Round 1
THE PROBLEM
Please confirm what is due for your university's Round 1; some universities have different requirements.
​
Student-led teams “apprentice with” a social or environmental issue of their choice, and produce a visual map/chart /infographic and a one-page executive summary of the issue that demonstrates their understanding of this issue.
Submission Requirements
Excellent submissions usually address a narrow enough issue to demonstrate thorough analysis and give deliberate thought to the specific community, customer, or client that will be the key beneficiary of the solution to be developed in Round 2.
Infographic
A visual map, chart, or infographic that visually showcases a deep and nuanced understanding of the specific social or environmental issue studied by the student(s). This document should:
-
Cover the problem and its causes
-
Examine the current solution pool and players
-
Identify gaps in the current service provision
-
Highlight where opportunities for change may lie
Resources

-
The problem landscape with key stakeholders
-
The existing solutions landscape and current gaps
-
Opportunities and recommendations
