Assessment Task 2 Instructions
Carefully read the following:

Samson Media is a publisher of several upmarket fashion magazines. It has strong links with a number of
high profile fashion houses whose products are featured in the magazines, and also provide a significant
source of advertising revenue. Readers of the magazines are predominantly 35 – 54-year-old women.
Readership has fallen over the last two years. This is due in the most part to due to competition from a range
of other fashion magazines and consumers switching to digital media. Due to the decline in readership, profits
have also fallen by 20% and there has also been a decrease in the share price.
As a consequence, the new CEO, Amir Johnson, has been appointed. Amir was the former Marketing Director
for a well-known successful media business that included a national newspaper, magazines and a
subscription television channel. Those publications are focused mainly on sport and celebrity gossip. It is able
to undercut its competitors with low prices, enabled by a ruthless approach to achieving high levels of
efficiency.

Amir and his team of Managers have developed a Strategic Plan that includes the following objectives.
 Increase return on capital to 8% within 2 years
 Enact a transformational change of the company that will convert all magazines to a digital format.
 Close the printing and distribution site.
 Achieve cost efficiencies through relocating the head office to a smaller office.
 Restructure head office staff through moving to a smaller core of permanent staff and more contract
staff.

It is intended that the new digital magazines will have the following features:
 Focus on health and beauty, fashion and celebrity gossip.
 Some free content but full access available only on a subscription basis.
 Additional features available to subscribers such as video clips, podcasts and discussion

Current staff information is as follows. All staff are full-time permanent staff and their total salary costs per
annum to Samson Media are also included below.
 General Manager: $200,000
 Finance Manager: $150,000
 Marketing Manager: $150,000
 Customer service manager: $100,000
 Customer service assistant: $240,000 (total salary costs for each journalist is $80,000) (2) - $100,000
(total salary costs for each assistance is $50,000)
 Online Marketing Coordinator: $120,000
 Human Resources Manager: $110,000
 Editor: $85,000
 Art Editor: $80,000
 Journalists (3): $270,000 (total salary costs for each journalist is $90,000)

The cost of running the printing and distribution site, plus staff costs is currently approximately $1,500,000 per
annum. It has been identified that, given the change to the new medium of publication, it will be an immediate
priority to shut down the site and make all of the staff redundant.

The current office rent is $500,000 per annum.

Employment contracts are in place for all staff members employed in Head Office. Printing and distribution
workers are employed under an award. The CEO has indicated that he is interested in moving towards an
enterprise agreement arrangement for all remaining staff and would like to have this reviewed as part of the
change management process.

Current human resources policies and procedure include a recruitment, selection and induction policy and
procedure and a termination policy and procedure. There is an ad-hoc performance review process in place
which occurs as issues arise. There are no formal processes for training needs analysis or professional
development.

As the General Manager, you have been asked to lead the development and implementation of the change
management plan, with the first step being to consult with an organisational change expert to discuss issues
and strategies for change management for the company.

It is anticipated that, while there will be some cost savings in making the change, there will also be costs
involved including:
 Redundancies: anticipated cost is $300,000
 Upskilling staff: $100,000
 Consulting with experts: $100,000
 Communication throughout change with key stakeholders: $100,000

Complete the following activities:

1. Research best practice change management strategies


Thoroughly review the case study information provided above. Analyse the company’s
organisational objectives and consider the strategic changes needs that will need to occur based
on strategic objectives.

Review Samson Media’s current human resources policy and procedures, their strategic
objectives and the need for change. In the light of the changes required to the organisation,
consider changes that may need to be made to the human resources policies and procedures.
Make notes for use in your briefing report.

Using the Internet, research change management, issues and practices, including barriers that
can impact on change, and best practice change management strategies. Make notes for
inclusion in your briefing report and to assist you in identifying best practice change management
strategies for Samson Media.

You will also need to identify these sources of information in your briefing report to show that you
have identified expert guidance on change management. So, make notes on all the sources of
information you identify and use. You should identify at least three sources of information that
could be considered to be expert sources.

Assessment Task 3 Instructions

Complete the following activities:

1. Create a PowerPoint Presentation


Develop a presentation to assist in informing employees about the Change Management Plan
that you developed in Assessment Task 2, as well as the Communication and Education Plan to
be adopted during the change management process.

The purpose of the presentation is to ensure that employees are fully informed, and have the
opportunity to contribute to the change management process.

Review Kotter’s 8-Step change model to assist you in developing a presentation that will appeal
to staff and will promote acceptance of the change.

Ensure that you are providing comprehensive information to staff to assist them to accept the
changes.
During the presentation, allow for some time when staff have the opportunity for input, as this will
facilitate acceptance of the change.
This will relate to the risk control treatments that you identified in your Change Management
Briefing Report.

Your presentation should include graphics such as images, charts and tables.
You must develop the required number of slides to support a presentation of about 30 minutes.

The presentation you develop must clearly outline:


 The change management process
 The rationale and vision for the change

 The benefits of the change


 Impacts of the change on operations
 Strategies to be adopted to minimise the negative effects on staff. This should also include
an outline of the proposed arrangements for redundancies and the restructuring of current
jobs in head office.

2. Submit completed PowerPoint Presentation to your assessor.


Your assessor will advise you of the place, date and time that your presentation is to take place.

3. Deliver your presentation
Using the PowerPoint presentation that you have developed, deliver a presentation to staff. Your
assessor will be present as one of the staff members and will also organise another 2 or 3 other
students to attend.

o At the outset of the presentation, indicate that the team will be able to ask questions during
and at the end of the presentation. Also inform staff that you would like to brainstorm
further change management ideas at the end of the session.

o Go through each of your power point slides, explaining the changes and the change
management process. You should also describe the communication and education
activities that you have planned.

o You must provide comprehensive information, outlining the coming changes to assist staff
in accepting the changes. You must also provide the opportunity for their input, which will
also facilitate their acceptance of change.

Bear in mind that there will be some sensitivities, as the changes will require job losses. Your
assessor will role play a staff member who is upset with the changes, and you will be expected to
respond to that staff member using effective communication and problem-solving skills.

During the presentation, demonstrate effective communication skills including:


 Speaking clearly and concisely
 Using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
 Asking questions to identify required information
 Responding to questions as required
 Using active listening techniques to confirm understanding of issues and questions raised
by employees.

At the conclusion of your presentation, seek feedback from staff on the changes that will be
implemented for Samson Media. Ask them for their ideas to inform your change management
plan and your communication and education plan. Take notes on this feedback.

4. Finalise your Updated Change Management Plan and your Updated communication and
Education Plan.
These updates should include the feedback that came out in the meeting.
Ensure that the finalised documents are named accordingly, e.g. Finalised Change
Management Plan and Finalised Communication and Education Plan

5. Submit Finalised Change Management Plan and Finalised Communication and Education Plan
to the CEO (your assessor).

Assessment Task 4 Instructions

Carefully read the following:

Assume that the change management plan that was adopted by Samson Media includes training and
development for staff in a number of areas. One of these training areas is change management team building,
which is considered to be especially important during the change management process.

The training is to be delivered over an eight-week period for approximately 2 hours a week. You have also
identified that experts such as motivational speakers could also be hired for this.

You have also been given the task, in the role of Operations Manager, to send a brief to the human resources
department. This brief will be used to guide human resources personnel in regard to organising the change
management team building training and to give your ideas about the content that should be included in the
training.

Assume that, as you also believe there may be resistance to the training due to a general resistance to the
changes, that you also develop a staff communication to promote the benefits of the upcoming training and
assessment to assist in overcoming resistance to change.
