NSD Contract


Negotiated Skills Development (NSD)
IT is one of the courses in MSC Information and Technology (IT Management) which is focused on a skillset that I’m interested to learn.

Rationale
For this course, I’ve selected to learn and implement the strategic design process in website design. These days, websites are designed and developed which follow the latest design trends and looks awesome but fail miserably in their intended function (like revenue generation through sales, user interaction, etc.).
Some of the common problems of website these days are
i.               Navigation that is not clear
ii.              Content that lacks engagement
iii.             Website with poor representation and integration of brand, etc.
And based on my research, implementation of strategic design process in website design can help to accomplish the intended business objectives/goals. 
In order to design the website with the implementation of strategic design process, I need to learn about the things like strategic design process, website design principles, brand identity design, color psychology, etc. Thus, following contract has been prepared for the module
