Assessment Description
In this assessment, you will be writing an individual report that encourages you to be creative with business analytics, whilst also developing a response to a brief containing a “wicked problem”, to be addressed using Complexity Science principles and Artificial Intelligence.
The wicked problem is that Australia is experiencing a significant demographic shift, with its population ageing at an unprecedented rate. This trend presents multifaceted challenges across healthcare, the economy, and social services.
The increasing number of older Australians is expected to place significant pressure on healthcare services, necessitating reforms to accommodate the rising demand for aged care and chronic disease management.
An ageing population may lead to a smaller workforce, affecting economic productivity and increasing the dependency ratio, which could strain public finance
There will be a need to ensure that older adults, particularly those from CALD backgrounds, are socially included and have equitable access to services, which is a growing concern.
There is a consensus on the need for comprehensive policies that address the multifaceted challenges of an ageing population, including retirement income systems, healthcare, and social services.

Assessment Instructions
Imagine that you are responsible for the current Australian Government’s Ageing Program. You have been given the remit to oversee the provision of targeted services to support the ageing of the Australian population. This includes allocating funding for innovative projects
.Your expertise is in complexity science and artificial intelligence.
Your recommended initiatives are to be based on data. The following link will help: https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/older-people/older-australians/contents/demographic-profile
There is a need to access additional third party reports to support your findings in your research report.
Your report should have:
- An introduction (100 words)
- A section discussing the association between Australia’s capacity to be resilient and grow, with the requirement to provide for an ageing population. This section should be supported by data (500 words)
- A section on the role of complexity science in helping to unlock the rules as to how the Australian Government can best provide for an ageing population, again supported by data (500 words)
- A section recommending how artificial intelligence can be used in conjunction with complexity science to better cater for the needs of Australia with an ageing population (500 words)
- Conclusion and recommendations (200 words)
- At least six references in Harvard or another recognised academic format.
