Learner Assessment Information
Overview
Prior to commencing this assessment task, your trainer/assessor will explain in detail the
requirements of these assessment tasks. Please consult with your trainer/assessor if you have
any questions relating to the requirements of these assessments. It is important that you
understand and adhere to the assessment requirements and address each assessment task in
full. If any of the required tasks are not fully addressed, then you will be required to resubmit
this assessment. Your trainer/assessor will remain available to support you throughout the
assessment process.
Active Participation
It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. Active participation
is attending classes and completing all of your assessment tasks on time.
Assessment Types
 Direct observation
 Portfolios/projects
 Question and answers (verbal or written)
 Presentations
The assessment tasks in this workbook assess aspects of all the elements, performance
criteria, skills and knowledge and performance requirements of this unit of competency.
To demonstrate competence in this unit you must undertake all required activities in this
workbook and have these tasks deemed satisfactory by your trainer/assessor. If you do not
answer some questions or perform certain tasks, you will be deemed to be Not Yet
Satisfactory; your trainer/assessor may ask you supplementary questions to determine your
competence. Once you have demonstrated the required level of performance, you will be
deemed Competent in this unit.
As part of the assessment process, all learners must abide by any relevant assessment policies
as provided during your classes.
If you feel you are not yet ready to be assessed or that this assessment is unfair, please contact
your assessor to discuss your options. You have the right to formally appeal any outcome and,
if you wish to do so, discuss this with your trainer/assessor.
Written Work
Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and
knowledge of the overall unit of competency. When undertaking any written assessment
tasks, please ensure that you address the following criteria:
 Address each question including any sub-points
 Demonstrate that you have researched the topic thoroughly
 Cover the topic in a logical and structured manner
 Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed
 Your assessment tasks include your full legal name on each and every page and the

 Assessments must be typed using document software such as (or similar to) MS
Office
 Handwritten assessments will not be accepted (unless, prior written permission is

Feedback to the Learner
Feedback on a learners’ assessment performance is a vital element in their learning. Its purpose is to
justify to learners how their competency was assessed, as well as to identify and reward specific

BSBLDR601 - Lead and manage organisational change Assessment Workbook V1 02.21


5
qualities in their work, to recommend aspects needing improvement, and to guide learners on what
steps to take.

Feedback should:
• Guide learners to adapt and adjust their learning strategies
• Guide trainers/assessors to adapt and adjust their teaching to accommodate a learners’
needs
• Be a pivotal feature of learning and assessment design
• Focus on course and unit learning outcomes
• Guide learners to become independent and self-reflective learners and improve their own
self awareness
• Acknowledge the developmental nature of learning.

Competency Outcome
There are two outcomes of assessments:
o S = Satisfactory
o NYC = Not Yet Competent - requires more training and experience

Once the learner has satisfactorily completed all the tasks for this unit the learner will be
awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not yet Competent” (NYC) as the overall unit of competency
result.
If you are deemed “Not Yet Competent” you will be provided with feedback from your
assessor and will be given another chance to resubmit your assessment task(s). Please refer
to your VET Learner Handbook for further information.
Additional Evidence
If we, at our sole discretion, determine that we require additional or alternative
information/evidence in order to determine competency, you must provide us with such
information/evidence, subject to privacy and confidentiality. We retain this right at any time,
including after the submission of your assessments.
Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your work. It means acknowledging
the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge, and ideas.
As a learner, you are required to:
 Undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity
 Ensure that your work is in no way falsified
 Seek permission to use the work of others, where required
 Acknowledge the work of others appropriately
 Take reasonable steps to ensure other learners cannot copy or misuse your work
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts and writings and representing them as
your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a learner’s exclusion from their course
of study. If you have any doubts about including the work of others in your assessment,
please consult your trainer/assessor. The following list outlines some of the activities that
may be considered as plagiarism:

 Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally


 Handing in assessments that are similar to or copied from another learner
 Presenting the work of another individual or group as your own work
 Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used,
including assessments taken totally or in part from the internet
BSBLDR601 - Lead and manage organisational change Assessment Workbook V1 02.21
6
If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be
organised to discuss this with you, based on this meeting further action may be taken
accordingly.
Collusion
Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assessment as their own that is, in fact, the
result in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons.
Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of
academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action. Collusion
or copying from other learners is not permitted and will result in a NYC grade.
Confidentiality
We will treat anything, including information regarding your job, workplace, employer, with
strict confidence and in accordance with the law. However, you are responsible for ensuring
that you do not provide us with anything regarding any third party including your employer,
colleagues, and others, that they do not consent to the disclosure of. While we may ask you to
provide information or details about aspects of your employer and workplace, you are
responsible for obtaining necessary consents and ensuring that privacy rights and
confidentiality obligations are not breached by you in supplying us with such information.
Recognition Prior Learning
Learners will be able to have their previous experience or expertise recognised on request.
Assessment Appeals Process
If you feel that you have been unfairly treated during your assessment, and you are not happy
with your assessment and/or the outcome as a result of that treatment, you have the right to
lodge an appeal. You must first discuss the issue with your trainer/assessor. If you would like
to proceed further with the request after discussions with your trainer/assessor, you can lodge
your appeal with the VET Manager, in writing, outlining the reason(s) for the appeal. Please
refer to the VET Student Handbook for further information.

Reasonable Adjustment
We recognise the need to make reasonable adjustments within our learning and assessment
environments to meet your individual needs. If you need to speak confidentially to someone
regarding your individual needs please contact your trainer/assessor. It is important to note
the following points:
 Academic standards of the unit/course will not be lowered to accommodate the needs
of any student, but there is a requirement to be flexible about the way in which it is
delivered or assessed
 If a reasonable adjustment is required trainer/assessors will need to complete the
“Reasonable Adjustment Strategies Matrix” to ensure the explanation and correct
strategy have been recorded and implemented

Question 8
Identify two strategies for embedding change within an organisation. Provide an
explanation for each of the identified strategies.

Strategies for Embedding Change Explanation

Build on the Change It is crucial to keep in mind that each


success provides a business with an opportunity to
build on what an organization did right and also
on what went wrong. For that reason, assessing
each success achieved by identifying its strengths
and weaknesses is vital. Besides setting goals to
build on the momentum you aimed at as well as
promoting a culture of improvements.
Listen to staff feedback When the employees give their opinion,
their voices should be heard. No one knows better
than them to help the business grows and succeed
since it is their workplace and they always know
when something is going on. By listening to them
the business will ensure every decision made will
not be regretted at the end, which will prevent staff
turnover or lower productivity.
