Assessment Task 2 Instructions as provided to students
Complete the following activities:
Carefully read the following:
    
    This project requires you to apply a systematic decision-making approach to a business practice related to a process, product or service of your choice. You are required to identify and analyse two different inefficiencies, limitations or problems and then plan to improve them. You must be able to justify, communicate and review your proposed improvement solutions.
This project must be based on a proposed or existing practice related to a product or service. You can use the case study business provided to you by your assessor, or you may like to base this on your own business, or a business you are cu
ently working for or are familiar with. It is important that this business has organisational policies and procedures related to your chosen practice already developed. Speak to your assessor to get approval if you want to base this on your own business or one you work for.
You will also need to seek input from people who work for, or are involved, in this business practice several times. Fellow students or your assessor can be involved in these meetings and play the roles of process stakeholders as relevant.
You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio. The steps you need to take are outlined below.
1. Project planning
    
    Make sure you are familiar with the business you are basing this assessment on. It’s important at this step that you have your business or case study approved by your assessor (make sure you also discuss the suitability of the practice you’d like to analyse with your assessor). Identify all the stakeholders related to your proposed process.
Complete Page 5 of your Project Portfolio for this unit.
Read through the requirements of Section 1, 2 and 3 of your Project Portfolio as well as the necessary background information, relevant policies and procedures of the business (use the Simulation Pack if working with the case study).
Once you are comfortable with what you need to do, a
ange a meeting by sending an email invitation with at least one of the stakeholders who can provide information about your chosen process, or help identify inefficiencies, limitations or problems. They may also be able to suggest alternative solutions.
For the purpose of this role-play, your assessor or another student can act as a one or more stakeholders.
2. Stakeholder meeting
    
    Meet with the relevant stakeholders (at least one other person, such as your assessor or another student). Discuss your chosen practice and take notes so you can complete Section 1 and 2 of your Project Portfolio after the meeting.
The meeting should last for approximately 10 mins.
At the meeting:
· Discuss any policies and legislative requirements related to your practice.
· Discuss any potential inefficiencies, limitations or problems of your chosen process.
· Brainstorm ideas on how to solve the inefficiencies, limitations or problems.
During the meeting, you will need to demonstrate effective communication skills including:
· Speaking clearly and concisely
· Using non-ve
al communication to assist with understanding
· Asking questions to identify required information
· Responding to questions as required
· Use a presenting style and vocabulary to suit the audience and situation
    
    This meeting can either be viewed in person by your assessor or you may like to video record the session for your assessor to watch later. Your assessor can provide you with more details at this step. Make sure you follow the instructions above and meet the timeframes allocated.
3. Systematic decision making
    
    After the meeting, complete Sections 1 and 2 of your Project Portfolio.
When you complete Section 1, you need to:
· Describe in detail your business, the chosen practice and its inefficiencies, limitations or problems.
· Analyse the identified inefficiencies, limitations or problems and choose two different ones to focus on for the remainder of the project
· Understand any relevant information, legislation and policies related to your chosen practice.
When you complete Section 2, you will:
· Generate, analyse and compare alternative and proposed solutions to your identified inefficiencies, limitations or problems.
You will be required to use various analysis methods (one of them must use numerical data). You can either use the data from the case study (if you’re evaluating a process in the case study business), real data for an existing business or fictitious data if real data is not available.
· Decide on the best solutions and justify your choice
· Communicate your solutions to stakeholders in an appropriate format
