   - Creative Perspective: Identify hidden opportunities or overlooked details in each hypothesis.

   *2.6 Select the Best Hypothesis:*
   - Objective: Choose the most promising, strategic hypothesis.
   - Reflection: "Why does this hypothesis stand out? How does it uniquely address the issue?"
   - Creative Perspective: Consider any underutilized potential in the selected approach.

   *2.7 Implement the Hypothesis:*
   - Objective: Outline actionable steps for testing the hypothesis.
   - Reflection: "Is this plan practical? What resources or preparation are required?"
   - Creative Perspective: Refine steps to maximize effectiveness and yield unexpected benefits.

### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
4. Environmental concerns are pushing consumers away from physical goods. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.8)
5. Advances in tech make digital-only options more functional. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5)
6. Pandemic-era remote work increased demand for digital solutions. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.6)
7. Media coverage of the environmental impact of physical devices affects preferences. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.7)
8. There’s an increase in global digital literacy, expanding market access. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
9. Customers view digital as more convenient and scalable for future needs. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5)
10. Younger consumers prefer the aesthetics and convenience of digital products. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

*Reflection:* 
"Have I considered all possible influences? Are there any surprising factors that could explain this shift?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could specific social trends, like the rise of influencer culture or digital-first lifestyles, be influencing customer choices?"

**2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:**
*Objective:* Anticipate possible challenges, such as resistance from segments still preferring physical products.

*Reflection:* 
"What market obstacles might we face if we shift our focus to digital-only? Are there sub-segments that still prioritize physical products?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could expanding digital options help us reach a more global audience? Are there emerging trends that we could leverage in our strategy?"

[end sys2]

[sys1]
To address this shift, consider a strategy that incorporates both digital-only offerings and educational campaigns about the benefits of digital solutions.
Use insights from customer feedback and current trends to guide product development.
Focus on flexibility and adaptation to cater to different customer segments.

What we’re building for you in 2019

Throughout 2018 the University delivered a range of projects on and off campus and this year the Property team will continue to bring the 2014 Campus Master Plan to life. More than $500m and around 80,000m2 of key, transformational buildings plus infrastructure upgrades will be completed over the next few years.

Arts Precinct

Bordered by Wally’s Walk, First Walk and Western Road, the Arts Precinct redevelopment is well underway with progress becoming more visible each month since construction started in July 2018. This year will see the site’s greatest transformation as new and repurposed buildings take on their future form. The Arts Precinct is due for completion in early 2020.

Key features:

Approximately 17,000m2 total area, including a 4,800m2 new building

Due for completion early 2020

Teaching, academic and showcase spaces to highlight the Faculty’s ongoing work, research and achievements

Dedicated museum floorspace consolidating the University’s Ancient History Museum, Numismatics and Australian History Museum

A new atrium connecting refurbished and new buildings will feature roofing ‘balloons’ to allow abundant natural light while protecting from wind and rain.

Central Courtyard

The new heart of campus will to return to Wally’s Walk in the form of a revitalised Central Courtyard. Flowing onto the University’s lake and lawn, the Central Courtyard area will be redeveloped to include 16 informal and formal teaching spaces that will complement MUSE/MAZE and add newer format teaching environments. The Central Courtyard is due for completion in late 2020.

Key features:

68,000m2 total area

Social and educational focus

New on-campus accommodation for students (345 beds planned in the initial phase)

New graduation hall, retail areas, upgraded Lincoln Building with food and beverage outlets and a new home for the Research Office.

What’s happening next?

The contract will be awarded and announced shortly, after which construction will begin.

Clinical Education building

To sit between Macquarie University Hospital and 75 Talavera Road, a brand new $43m building will cater for expansion of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences’ teaching program. Construction will start in March with the building due for completion in early 2020.

Key features:

Timber building with four levels of lecture theatres and modern study areas

What’s happening next?

Construction will commence mid-March. Pedestrian and vehicular access to 75 Talavera Road will change. Innovation Road will become a no-through-road with a new, rerouted version connecting to Research Park Drive.

Macquarie University International College (MUIC)

Several buildings representing 3,200m2 of space are undergoing a makeover to transform the MUIC teaching, study, communal and amenity areas to modernise and future-proof this important College which hosts a large international cohort each year. New classrooms will be ready for use at the beginning of Session 1, with all works to be completed by the end of April 2019.

Key features:

New student hub

Refurbished courtyard

New Independent Learning Centre

New International English Language Testing System centre

Walanga Muru pavilion

Next to 6 First Walk, the University is halfway through construction of a pavilion designed as an attractive and functional gathering place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, staff and visitors. The outdoor area will feature native landscaping and will be large enough to host formal or informal gatherings but small enough to ensure a sense of togetherness and community.

Now open! Shared zone – Research Park Drive/Innovation Road

Cordoned off for the final stages of works since late 2018, the road and footpath areas surrounding 4 Research Park Drive has reopened. The upgraded, refurbished outdoor thoroughfare has been designed as a shared public area where both pedestrians and drivers are accommodated. Wally’s Walk is a notable example of the University’s commitment to prioritising pedestrian spaces where possible across the campus.
