Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We are interested in understanding what attributes and characteristics are most attractive in co-worker relationships.


There has been exhaustive studies on workplace effectiveness, best management practices and how to be an effective team member. We are interested in understanding what co-workers think of each other, and what qualities they find attractive.


Opinions abound. A google search will produce a multitude of sentiment, but there is very little hard, unbiased data.


What we are proposing is a study that will provide data that is fact based on a set of 10 "ish" key characteristics, demographically indexed (generation or age based, geographic, industry type) and other measurements.


This project should include engagement with workers, primarily in commerical or industrial sectors (non-government) along with analysis and opinion from the students.


We have produced over 40 studies through this platform and have a strong understanding on how to work with your team, to ensure that they receive a strong learning opportunity.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
  1. Creation of a project plan with expectations and proposed outcomes.
  2. Input into the demographic selection.
  3. Input into the method of engagement and aquiring data.
  4. Periodic meetings (zoom style platform) with us to discuss progress and road blocks.
  5. Facilitation of engagement process; surveys, one to one meetings, accumulation and formating of data.
  6. Creation of a presentation, poster or possibly a paper.
  7. Delivery of results.
How will you support learners in completing the project?

We have 5 years of experience working with capstone and/or student projects. Full support will include meetings, mentoring, advising. We will make ourselves available as needed.

What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

Analysis of data, critical thinking, reasoning, use of spreadsheets, powerpaint, development of survey or suvey based questions.
