The Good Place Innovators team proposes to develop an innovative, engaged and digitally enhanced dissertation framework for Postgraduate (PG) Dissertations. The project addresses the need for greater authenticity and relevance of PG dissertations and demonstrates a direct commitment to LUMS’ Innovation in Place and responsible management education agenda. At the University level, we contribute directly to the University Civic Charter and the government’s Leveling Up agenda and address local policymakers concerns over the graduate talent retention shortage in Lancashire.
