• You must provide students with detailed feedback within 10 working days from submission.

This assessment task requires you to lead the process for addressing a complex workplace issue up to the point of implementation, including:

• identifying task objectives and risks involved with pursuing identified problem

• researching legislative frameworks and applicable frameworks for the identified problem

• calculating resources required for solution development process

• facilitating others in idea generation for possible solutions

• presenting proposed solution to key stakeholders

• using feedback to revise solution to achieve stakeholder approval

• seeking necessary approvals for the implementation of the solution.

Your Assessor will nominate the complex problem to be solved.

For this assessment task, you will access to:

• organisational policies and procedures

• opportunities to collaborate with others throughout the concept development process

• resources required to undertake research, prepare a brief and develop a feedback register.

and will need to:

What are you trying to solve? In addition to getting clear on what the problem is, defining the problem also establishes a goal for what you want to achieve.

Input: something is wrong or something could be improved.
