BUSINESS OPERATIONS RESEARCH EVENT

The 2022-2023 topic for each career category is to research an existing business’s website, products, and/
or services and develop a strategic plan to adopt a hyper-personalization approach. Today companies are
tracking and collecting large amounts of customer data and are using artificial intelligence to determine
patterns within the data to simulate a customer’s thought process. Consumers have raised concerns about
privacy and ethics in regards to this type of data collection. Participants will develop a strategic plan to
enhance and improve the company’s existing products and/or services by incorporating this approach and
addressing consumer concerns.

The Project Management Events require participants to use project management skills to initiate, plan, execute, monitor and control and close a project.  Participants in the Project Management Events will:

• identify a problem
