This Student Assessment Booklet includes all your tasks for assessment of BSBINN601 - LEAD AND
MANAGE ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE.

About your assessments


This unit requires that you complete 3 assessment tasks. You must complete all tasks with a
competent result to achieve competency for this unit. Please read the information below
about each task included in this assessment.

Assessment Task 1 Written Questions


In this task, you will demonstrate a sound knowledge of the unit
requirements through completing and submitting written questions.
You must correctly answer all 18 questions to show that you
understand the knowledge required of this unit.

Assessment Task 2 Change management plan, and Role-play


You are required to conduct research, identify change requirements
and develop a change management plan. You are also required to
participate in a change management plan meeting.

Assessment Task 3 Project


You are required to implement your change management plan by
communicating with staff, arranging and managing a training
activity and activating their strategies. You are also required to
review your plan and make adjustments
What is competency?
To complete assessment tasks satisfactorily you will need to demonstrate competence – but
what does this mean?
In the Australian vocational education and training system, the concept of competence, is
defined as: “The ability to perform tasks and duties to the standard expected in the workplace”.
Competence involves the application of specific skills, knowledge and attitudes to the work
performance in an industry, an industry sector or an enterprise. Competence is rarely achieved
in a one-off demonstration. It needs to be developed holistically – that is, bringing a range of
skills and knowledge together – and over time in a real or simulated workplace. To achieve
competence, you need to demonstrate that you can perform a given task to the standard
defined in an endorsed unit of competency.

How to submit your assessments?


When you have completed each assessment you will need to submit it to your assessor.
Instructions about submission can be found at the beginning of each assessment task. Make
sure you photocopy your written activities before you submit them – your assessor will put the
documents you submit into your student file. These will not be returned to you.

Assessment Task Cover Sheet


At the beginning of each task in this booklet, you will find an Assessment Task Cover Sheet.
Please fill it in for each task, making sure you sign the student declaration.
Your assessor will give you feedback about how well you went in each task, and will write this
on the back of the Task Cover Sheet.

Assessment outcomes
Once the assessment has been completed the student will be given the result within 14 days.
Once the student has satisfactorily completed the required assessments for a unit of
competency he/she will receive an outcome of C (Competent) or otherwise NYC (Not Yet
Competent) in which case the student is entitled to apply for a resubmission of the assessment.

Reasonable adjustments
Wherever possible, trainers/assessors will make reasonable adjustments to training and
assessment processes to ensure all people are treated equally in the training and assessment
process.
Students who have special needs may be allowed reasonable adjustment at the time of
assessment in line with the Albright Institute’s Policy and Procedures.
To meet the needs of all learners’ adjustments can be made to the way assessments are
conducted but not to the requirements of the assessment. The purpose of these adjustments is
to enhance fairness and flexibility so that the specific needs of students can be met.
Examples of reasonable adjustments
 providing additional time for student to practice the assessment tasks
 presenting questions orally for students with literacy issues
 asking questions in a relevant practical context
 adapting machinery and equipment to make it more easily used
 presenting work instructions in diagrammatic or pictorial form instead of words and
sentences
 simplifying the design of tasks
It is the responsibility of each assessor to assess students’ needs and make whatever reasonable
adjustments are practicable to maximise a students’ opportunity to demonstrate their
competence.

Assessment re-submission
If a student is deemed NYC (not yet competent) the Trainer/Assessor (TRN) will explain why and
inform the student of what needs to be completed in order to demonstrate competence.

Re-assessment for assessments only occurs if the student has previously submitted the
assessment or has missed the relevant session(s) and has been afforded special consideration
which is approved by the Administration department.

If the result for the first submission of an assessment is NYC, students will be given two re-
submission opportunities to achieve a competent result (this re-assessment is conducted free
of charge). A suitable time will be arranged for the reassessment to occur within 14 days of the
completion of the unit in question. Should a student either not make an attempt within this time
frame (in spite of all efforts by Albright Institute, its Trainer/Assessor and administration staff to
have the student attend a reassessment session) or the student does not achieve a satisfactory
result after two re-assessments they may be charged for another attempt.

Should the student still not achieve competence after these assessment attempts, it will be
necessary for them to re-enrol in (repeat) the unit of competence at a cost.

Assessment appeals
You can make an appeal about an assessment decision by filling an appeal form. Ask for an
appeal for from a student support officer. Refer to Albright Institute’s Assessment Policy for more
information about our appeals process.

Plagiarism Policy
All student work must be written in their own words, except where acknowledged through
quotations and referencing. Plagiarism is a serious offence; Albright Institute may impose severe
penalties on students who plagiarise.
For more information on Plagiarism and Cheating refer to Albright Institute’s policies.
Students: Please fill out this cover sheet clearly and accurately. Make sure you have kept a

Case study
This case study was written by Ernst & Young LLP. The story it examines, of
Westfield Insurance’s occupational change management saga, takes on
nearly universal themes from the business world and is something that every
insurance professional, especially those in leadership positions, needs to read.
The effect that large-scale change could have on morale and engagement
of employees is a major concern and potential risk for operational leaders. A
decrease in morale and engagement may impact customer service, which is
also a significant risk. Additionally, a workforce that is not highly engaged will
Question 9: resist change — taking longer for expected benefits to be achieved.
Many insurers are undertaking major change initiatives to transform their
operational capabilities, modernise technology and adjust to new market
realities. Some of the risks associated with large scale change programmes
include lack of employee engagement and results in people and teams
across the organisation resisting strategic change and refusing to adopt new
tools and processes. The impact on performance can be significant, as
customer service is disrupted and the expected value from very large
investments never materialises.
Westfield Insurance (“Westfield”), an Ohio-based P&C carrier, has leveraged a
holistic organisational change management (OCM) approach to deliver
impressive results on a multi-year claims transformation program. In fact,
Westfield accomplished a very rare feat: actually, boosting employee
satisfaction and engagement during a time of significant change.
While the broad-based nature of the change would challenge many
organisations, Westfield’s leaders, using a coordinated and multifaceted OCM
approach, have actually increased employee engagement.
Key strategies that have enabled the program’s success have been high-
profile executive sponsorship, cross-functional stakeholder alignment, regular
and tailored communications, comprehensive training plans, and an extensive
“change champion” network.
This article highlights Westfield’s experience in keeping its associates engaged
through a robust OCM program tailored to its specific needs, transformation
methodology and culture.

opportunities with relevant leaders/managers? Answer in 100-150 words.

Read the case study and answer the questions that follow:

Case study
When Jack Welch assumed the top position at General Electric in 1981, he
inherited a company that had a market value of $12 billion — certainly a
modest number, by today’s standards. By the time he left in 1998, GE was
worth $280 billion. While leading GE, Welch was charged with the task of
making the conglomerate better by any means necessary. With his gut telling
him that his company was due for a complete overhaul, Welch decided to
implement Six Sigma at GE in 1995. Quite simply, Six Sigma is a methodology
that aims to reduce defects and errors in all processes, including transactional
processes and manufacturing processes. Organizations that use Six Sigma test
their processes again and again to make sure that they are as close to perfect
Question 10: as possible. Jack Welch discussed and obtained approvals from relevant
authorities in GE especially the board members to confirm the change
management processes and five years after Welch’s decision to implement Six
Sigma and making sure all team members are with him, GE had saved a mind-
blowing $10 billion. Welch claimed to have spent as much as half of his time
working on people issues. By assembling the right team and ingraining them
with the right management philosophies, Welch successfully oversaw the
transformation of GE from a relatively strong company to a true international
juggernaut.

According to the above-mentioned case-study,


a) Explain why it was necessary to obtain approvals from relevant authorities
to confirm the change management process (50 – 100 words).

Read the following case study / scenario and complete activities that follow.

Case study / Scenario


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 fallen by 20% and there has also
been a fall in the share price.
As a consequence, a 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. The success of this business
was based on targeting lower income groups and its publications are focused mainly on
sport and celebrity gossip. They were also successful because they were 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 only.
 Achieve cost efficiencies through reducing running costs
 Relocate to a smaller office.
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
Running costs are as follows. All staff are full-time permanent staff and their total salary
costs per annum is $3,370,000.00. The cost of running the printing and distribution site, plus
staff costs is currently approximately $1,500,000 per annum. The current office rent is
$500,000 per annum.
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
 Office relocation - $50,000 - $80,000.

Complete the following activities:

PART A: RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Review scenario and conduct research and analysis


a) Review the information in the scenario provided above and analyse the company’s
strategic objectives and identify the change needs. Make notes on your analysis for
use in your plan as outlined below.
b) Review existing polices/practices at Samson Media against strategic objectives and
the need for change and make notes identifying changes needed to use in your
report. Identify if the change required due to performance gaps, business
opportunities or threats, or management decisions.
c) Conduct research on change management – the issues and practices including
barriers that can impact on change and best practice change management
strategies. Also research trends in magazine publishing/on-line magazine readership
and analyse the impact the impact on Samson Media’s organizational objectives as
per the scenario information.
d) Consider major operational change requirements and recommended order of
priority.
e) You will need to identify your sources of information to show that you have identified
expert guidance on change management so make notes on all the sources of
information you identify and use.

PART B: DEVELOP A CHANGE MANAGEMENT PLAN

bought about the change (performance gaps, business opportunities or threats,
or management decisions)
 A review of existing polices/practices at Samson Media against strategic
objectives to identify change requirements.
 An analysis of the external environment relevant to Samson Media and its
objectives, including events/trends that impact on strategic objectives, including
trends in magazine publishing, as well as trends in on-line magazine readership.
Your analysis should reflect a PESTLE analysis approach, reviewing political,
economic, social, technology, legal and environmental factors.
h) A list of the potential barriers to the proposed changes and possible strategies to
overcome or address them.
i) A detailed explanation of how an organisation can check their readiness for change.
This should include examination of how organisational behaviour can impact change.

Case study / Scenario


Assume that one of your communication and education strategies was to invite staff to an
information session on the planned change. As part of this communication staff will have
the opportunity to complete an online survey regarding their feelings about change in
general and how they think Samson Media has communicated change previously.
The information session must contain a presentation of the change process, the reason for
the change, impact of the change and brief details of the planned change. You also
need to ensure you promote the benefits of the change.
You need to clearly demonstrate the activation of your strategies in your presentation -
responding to the barriers to change in accordance with your risk assessment and
embedding the change into the organisation.

Complete the following activities:

PART A: PREPARE FOR THE PRESENTATION

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Your assessor will provide details of the date, time and location of the presentation, and
invite other students to play the part of staff.
2. Prepare staff communication (email invitation for a meeting). Prepare the
communication to staff ensuring that it includes the arrangements for the information
session (time and place, etc.) and enough information to entice them to come along. This
communication may be in the form of an email, a memo, a poster or formal letter.
3. Prepare the presentation (20 – 25 slides). The presentation should be in PowerPoint or
similar presentation software and you will have 15-20 minutes for the presentation.
4. Send your communication via email to your assessor (as a staff member).

PART B: CONDUCT THE PRESENTATION

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Conduct the presentation in the designated timeframe


 Your assessor will play the part of a staff member as will the other students
 You must provide the opportunity for input and feedback and seek ideas or
suggestions on the change process from the group
 You will be required to demonstrate effective communication skills and appropriate
language to respond to issues and questions raised by employees.
Bear in mind that there will be some sensitivities, as the changes will require job losses.
One of the staff members will be upset and you will need to handle this. You will need
to do this through using your problem-solving skills to work out how to handle this
situation, and apply effective negotiation and consultation skills.

PART C: PREPARE REPORT AND UNDATE YOUR PLAN

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Complete evaluation of the presentation and the staff survey comments in a brief report
a) Outline how your presentation was received. Evaluate how you responded to the
barriers of the change and how effective your strategies to embed the change are going
to be over the lifetime of the change management plan based on feedback from staff.
Recommend at least modification to your plan.
b) Discuss the ideas and suggestions made by the staff and whether or not you will
include them into your plan.
c) Evaluate the survey comments (provided by your assessor) and make at least one
recommendation for a modification to your Change Management Plan
d) Update your project plan to incorporate your recommendations as well as the
changes to the Action plan, the Communication and Training plans to include the
activities and timeframes for this assessment (the information session and staff survey).
e) Submit your report and updated Change Management Plan to your assessor via
email (as the CEO of Samson Media). Your email must include a brief overview of the
changes to your plan and the reasons for the changes.
