This Assessment is designed to assess competency in the following unit:
Task One:
You are required to answer the following questions:
Activity 1
In order to determine whether a company needs changes, managers must analyze the organizational
objectives. These objectives or goals are presented through a strategic plan. The strategic plan gives
detailed information about desired outcomes for a certain amount of timeframe which is usually
more than five years and planned steps of achieving the strategy.
The goals/objectives of the company, which establish the purpose of the company and its
basis of activities;
The top-level strategies, which define what kind of are of business the company is in and
wants to be in;

incrementally through initiative steps of aiming at changing the way of organizational operation
3. Evolution – which is transformational change needs to conduct gradually through various stages
and initiative ideas. It is possible to be planned or happened in an emergency.
c) Why should existing policies and practices be reviewed against strategic objectives?
There might be still some changes need even after implementing a change successfully into the
organization. The reason is that there is still a risk to encounter with new steps or work processes.
To prevent such problems, managers need to put some controls over the organization. Such controls
may require to create new policies and procedures which makes the processes. Thus, the existing
policies and practices should be reviewed in the first hand to implement any changes.

Risk can be divided into two parts. One is a probability of something unexpected can happen, or
another one is to happen a negative outcome come up. Thus, risk-analysis's main purpose is to help
to identify and manage potential threats that could ruin the key business initiatives or projects as
well. In risk-analysis, you need to estimate the likelihood of those threats. There are three likelihood
estimators which are very likely -major, likely-moderate and unlikely-minor.

There is a number of barriers a company may face to introduce new technology to its business and
working practices.
Those are:
Lack of knowledge – employees need to be trained;
Any incidents may happen – potential injury of people;
It may take time to adopt the new technology to its daily run;
The outcome/benefits will come in a long run;
e) What mitigation strategies could be implemented to avoid the barriers identified in the
previous question?
Risk mitigation is to take reverse actions against potential threats to lower or eliminate their effects.
The following are the mitigation strategies that the design company take action in advance:
It is always hard to change what people are used to. In terms of a company, change management

Unit Name: BSBINN601 Lead and manage organisational change
refers to moving the entire company and its objectives from its current state to future state. Thus,
there might be many obstacles come up during the change implementation or after the
implementation. Change management project plan focuses on adopting the change effectively and
decreases the risk of resistance. It usually takes into account that training staffs and communicating
activities that are necessary for an organization to adopt the change.
g) What key information should be included in the change management project plan?
Activity 2
a) Why is it important to gain approval from relevant authorities for change management
processes?
It is important to discuss and review together with relevant managers, stakeholders and
headquarters about the upcoming change requirements. This is because there might be some
resistance come up after the change implemented. It also helps to manage unknown situations. Not
gaining approval from the relevant authorities may lead you unexpected costs or loss.
b) You are applying for access to a funding partner’s grant for businesses such as yours/example
business. You are seeking their approval for a change programme in which you are requesting a

It is important to identify small scale projects from other projects. There are a few issues of small
scale projects for identifying small projects:
In order to implement such projects successfully, the following resource should be allocated
properly:
Have a formal project plan – this leads a company to complete tasks through plan;
Timeframe planning should be not tight – it will give a company to avoid unrealistic
deadlines;
Budget;
Human resource;
e) For the project above, identify who needs to be updated as to the progress of the project, how this

Most the companies implement technological changes in recent days. That brings many benefits
such as:
Increasing productivity;
Improving the operational cycle;
Increase outputs;
Increase profits etc.,
c) Thinking of the same change as in the previous question, what types of loss were experienced
by people affected by or involved in the change? How could this be taken into account in the

change implementation processes.
g) In groups of three or four, discuss how the changes would affect your own organisations.
Improve productivity;
Increase profit margin;
Gain a comparative advantage;
Avoid potential threats;
h) Imagine that you are managing the project which you considered in QUESTION- g. What kind of
barriers might you encounter and how might you respond to them?
Lack of knowledge – the starting point of the change plan should be clear and accurate;
Time limitation issue – focus on speeding up gradually;
Resistance to change – give a clear picture to the whole company from the beginning;
Activity 2
a) Choose three of the following possible interventions and actions which may occur on a project
plan. Thinking of the context of your own organisation, describe how you would ensure the
correct/appropriate implementation of these actions:

c) Imagine that you are managing a change programme to implement a series of complex new
procedures which are designed to reduce waste and improve quality and efficiency. Which
strategies might you use to embed the change?
In order to reduce waste and improve quality and efficiency, our project team would use the
following strategies:
Management coaching – coach managers to work more efficiently and effectively as well;
Supplier management improvement – if there is some hesitation around the supplier case,
we need work on improving supplier management;
It is always vital to assess and evaluate the change progress because once the engine starts, there is
no way to stop, so continuous improvements and updates are needed. Also, monitoring and
evaluation help with identifying the most proper way of using resources effective and efficient.
e) What methods can be used to evaluate and review the progress of a change programme?

In this case, we would use subjective, data collection and testing methods of evaluation. More
specifically, in order to figure out whether we could achieve the objectives or not, we need to observe
new situation and compare it with previous situation.
