Explanation of reasonable adjustments strategy used (If required)
What if you disagree on the assessment outcome? You can appeal against a decision made in regards to your assessment. An appeal should only be made if you have been assessed as Not Yet Competent against a specific unit and you feel you have sufficient grounds to believe that you are entitled to be assessed as competent. You must be able to adequately demonstrate that you have the skills and experience to be able to meet the requirements of units you are appealing the assessment of. Your trainer will outline the appeals process, which is available to the student. You can request a form to make an appeal and submit it to your trainer, the course coordinator, or the administration officer. The AHIC will examine the appeal and you will be advised of the outcome within 14 days. Any additional information you wish to provide may be attached to the appeal form. Academic Integrity: Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas. As a student, you are required to:
  • Undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity
  • Ensure that academic 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 students cannot copy or misuse your work.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them and to pass them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes material sourced from the Internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published and unpublished work. Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being used, which includes:
  • Paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference
  • Copying work either in whole or in part
  • Presenting designs, codes or images as your own work
  • Using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the author or web page
  • Reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.
Collusion: Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with other people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the work of someone else. Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or students external to the RTO. This applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or overseas. Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
  • Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
  • Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
  • Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)
  • Write or edit work for another student
  • Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.
Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion and academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTOs policy on Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion. Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against students who engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTOs policy. Proven involvement in plagiarism or collusion may be recorded on students academic file and could lead to disciplinary action.

Plagiarism: Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them and to pass them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes material sourced from the Internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published and unpublished work. Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being used, which includes:
  • Paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference
  • Copying work either in whole or in part
  • Presenting designs, codes or images as your own work
  • Using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the author or web page
  • Reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.
Collusion: Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with other people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the work of someone else. Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or students external to the RTO. This applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or overseas. Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
  • Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
  • Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
  • Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)
  • Write or edit work for another student
  • Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.
Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion and academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTOs policy on Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion. Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against students who engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTOs policy. Proven involvement in plagiarism or collusion may be recorded on students academic file and could lead to disciplinary action.

Activities Complete the following activities:
  1. Carefully read the following:
This project requires you to demonstrate your skills and knowledge in effectively leading and facilitating a team. This project can be based on the case study business in the Simulation pack or you may like to base this on your own business, or a business you are currently working for or are familiar with. Speak to your assessor to get approval if you want to base this on your own business or one you work for. If you choose the case study business, you may select any of teams that form part of the organisation on which to base your project. If it is your own business, then you may choose any team that forms part of your workplace and in which you are involved. You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio. The steps you need to take are outlined below.
  1. Preparation
Make sure you are familiar with the business you are basing this assessment on and have read through the necessary background information and policies and procedures. For the case study business, this is all of the documents included in the ICT simulation pack. If its your own business or a business where you are working or are familiar with, its important at this step that you have your business or case study approved by your assessor. Complete Page 4 of your Project Portfolio for this unit. Read through the requirements of Section 1, 2 and 3 of your Project Portfolio which include detailed guidance relevant to all the assessment activities.
  1. Planning team outcomes
You are now to complete Section 1 of your Project Portfolio by completing the team performance plan based on your chosen team from the case study business or your team within your own business.
Complete Section 1 of your Project Portfolio. Submit your Portfolio to your assessor.
  1. Preparing for team coordination and support
In the following activity, you will be required to communicate the team performance plan that you have developed to your team. If you are basing this on the case study, this will be a group of students that your assessor will organise. If this is your own workplace, this will be the members of your own team. You will have approximately 10 minutes to present your plan and discuss challenges with tasks allocated as outlined below. During the meeting you will also be required to provide coaching to your team on a topic of your choice in order to enhance workplace culture and to ensure common team goals are met. This is to be a short coaching session on a specific topic i.e. no more than 10 minutes. You will therefore need to prepare a presentation to use in the next activity about the team performance plan you have developed and the topic of your choice. You may prepare the presentation in any form you wish e.g. PowerPoint Presentation or handouts. Make sure that you choose a method of communication that will be appropriate for your team and assist them to understand their responsibilities. You will also be required to:
  • consider how you will facilitate open and respectful communication and collaboration between team members, taking into account the diverse backgrounds of those in your team. You will then be required to demonstrate techniques that you have identified as appropriate in the next activity.
  • Assist your team to identify, brainstorm, report and resolve issues and inefficiencies related to the tasks as identified in your team performance plan. You will therefore need to ensure you identify suitable techniques to achieve this, as well as your own problem solving skills to come up with solutions during the meeting. You will also need to manage conflict where there are disagreements about how to resolve an issue so be prepared as to how you will handle this.
Complete Section 2 of your Project Portfolio. Submit your Portfolio to your assessor.
  1. Roundtable discussion
In a group round-table style discussion with your selected team, you will present your team performance plan and coaching session. Your assessor will be looking to see that you can:
  • use communication practices that are relevant to the team.
  • take into account others opinions
  • facilitate open and respectful communication and collaboration between team members, taking into account the diverse backgrounds of those in your team.
  • ask the team to identify issues/ inefficiencies related to the tasks as identified in your team performance plan and then brainstorm solutions.
  • use your own problem solving skills to come up with solutions to these task challenges.
  • manage conflict appropriately.
  • 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
    • build rapport with your team through use of effective communication skills.
This can either be viewed in person by your assessor or you may like to video record the session for your assessor to watch later. Your assessor can provide you with more details at this step. Make sure you follow the instructions above and meet the timeframes allocated.
  1. Monitor workplace activities
If you are using the case study business you are to complete this activity. If you are using your own business, you may collate feedback on your own team and individual performance. If this is not possible, you may also complete this same activity below, selecting one of the teams below. Assume it is six months later and feedback has been received on individual and team performance as follows:
Overall team feedback
Team Feedback
IT Team The team has been effective overall, working to time and budget. Its been a very busy time and some of the long term goals havent been achieved such as improving the help desk function. Because of the workload collaboration between teams hasnt been as good as it could be.
Sales Team Despite the global outlook, the sales team has been managing to increase sales albeit by less than expected. Its been a tough time and theres definitely been a lack of motivation at times. Because of the workload collaboration between teams hasnt been as good as it could be.
Operations Team The teams just ticking along with its usual activities. Not a lot of progress has been made on long term objectives due to general workload. Because of the workload collaboration between teams hasnt been as good as it could be.
Individual team member feedback
Team member: Sales
Jade Somers Team management is overall excellent but sometimes lack of communication resulting in missed deadlines.
Jay Santos Less engaged of late which is impacting on the team. Still achieving sales goals.
Jane Stone Jane has been participating in sales training in her own time and the impact can be seen. Her contribution is definitely clear. Lagging behind on some key tasks.
Individual team member feedback
Team member: IT
Hal Hyland Hal seems distracted and seems down on himself for a lack of creativity. He needs to be more confident.
Helen Hunt Great team member. Motivates others. Brings a lot to the role through her studies.
Hayley Hill Has been negative about the systems of late and the pace of change. It is frustrating that things arent moving quicker but its the way it is. Being positive despite frustration is important. Being willing to discuss solutions is also important.
Individual team member feedback
Team member: Operations
Alicia de Souza Alicia is a really great member of the team. Shes organising systems to improve things. Shes a little unconfident.
Alan Ibrahim Alan is a hard worker. He tends to keep himself to himself but always gets his work done and is pleasant to all staff.
You now need to collate and report on the feedback provided to assess individual and team performance. Based on this feedback, you are also to identify specific learning and development opportunities that will improve team and individual performance and behaviours. You will also need to organise a specific event for your team. You will document all of this in an email to your team which you will draft within your Portfolio. Complete Section 3 of your Project Portfolio within the timelines specified by your assessor.
  1. Submit your completed Project Portfolio
Make sure you have completed all sections of your Project Portfolio, answered all questions, provided enough detail as indicated and proofread for spelling and grammar as necessary. Submit to your assessor for marking.
