When identifying a problem for brainstorming, you are to relate it to the submission from Task 1. You should read the proposed development plan, and point out flaws or potential issues. You could consider a change in circumstances, economic down-turn, share-holder resistance, or other areas for this task. Please read the student information sheet for specific task information This project may be undertaken in one of the following formats: 1. On the job where managing organisational change is required. These assessments must: a. using a registered and operating workplace b. ensure access to customers relevant to the work role and unit requirements c. ensure access to staff members / colleagues d. ensure candidate is working in a suitable role to the unit (i.e. - candidates undertaking units requiring staff supervision must have staff to supervise, and authority to do so) e. ensure access to relevant, working and current tools and equipment as appropriate to the unit requirement f. relate their project to their current or preferred vocational direction 2. Classroom / Simulated environment. These assessments must a. As outlined in the TAA04 Training Package Glossary, ""Simulation is a form of evidence gathering that involves the candidate in completing or dealing with a task, activity or problem in an off-the-job situation that replicates the workplace context. Simulations vary from recreating realistic workplace situations such as in the use of flight simulators, through the creation of role plays based on workplace scenarios to the reconstruction of a business situation on a spreadsheet. In developing simulations, the emphasis is not so much on reproducing the external circumstance but on creating situations in which candidates are able to demonstrate: i. technical skills ii. underpinning knowledge iii. generic skills such as decision making and problem solving iv. workplace practices such as effective communication." b. If role plays are required, the assessor must ensure all 'actors' or 'participants' perform in a professional manner - reflecting an actual workplace. Participants are to be informed of their expected involvement. c. If a simulated workplace is used, it must allow for distractions such as background noises, ringing telephones, interruptions - etc. d. Each student must dress appropriately and professionally in line with workplace standards e. Relating their project to their current or preferred vocational direction f. Business models should be as realistic as possible, and documentation provided to the student should be as close as possible to what they would need to disseminate in a real work environment. You will need to role play the part of the advisor and other liaison contacts for this assessment, and assist the students in determining specific goals, milestones, policies that you deem relevant. Compliance with these set procedures and policies is critical. For each assessment, you are to act as a supervisor and not interfere with the assessment. In the event that the assessment is activities will impact on the safety of a student or bystander, the assessment must be stopped immediately To ensure each student undertakes valid and reliable assessments, where students are required to develop, implement or review something, each student will undertake this task independently. They are to then present their outcomes to the group, who will vote on and implement the most favoured submission. This will ensure each student is comprehensively assessed in each unit, and not carried by any other person.
