Assessment 4 - Project 3 - Conduct an information session for staff
This task is a role play, to be completed as a group assessment.
Your assessor will assign you to a group of 5 students. You and your group will play the roles of members of the Oz Careers outplacement team, and plan and conduct an information session for trainers at AWS, as part of the outplacement program.
Your assessor will organise four volunteers to play the roles of trainers.
Assume that this information session is the first communication activity scheduled in the change project plan. Prior to this, trainers have received no clear information about the changes that will take place.
The information session is to be conducted before redundancies are announced, in order to inform and prepare trainers.
In your group, you must:
1. Prepare a plan for a 10-minute information session for all staff. The focus of this session will be:
• introducing Oz Careers and explaining the role of the outplacement agency
• explaining changes that are going to be implemented, and how they will affect trainers
• explaining timeline of changes
• explaining criteria used to decide which positions will be made redundant
• promoting the benefits of change
Use the to prepare your session plan. Each member of
the group must fill out their session plan based on group discussion, and submit their plan as part of their individual assessment submission.
Your plan should contain names and IDs of all members of your group.
Prepare the content of your session through discussion and negotiation with your group. Each member of the group may have varying change management strategies (in previous tasks). However, for the purpose of this assessment, the group must brainstorm and identify mutually acceptable points for communication.
2. Prepare a based on your plan. Each member of the group must present one of the five sections specified above.
All members of the group must contribute equally to the development of the session plan and the presentation.
3. Conduct the 10-minute information session, allowing 10 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion.
During the presentation, members of your group must take turns to present.
During the discussion, you group must seek feedback and inputs on:
concerns and issues trainers have with the change plan
pectations of trainers on how the change management plan will be executed
Even if you are not the team member who asked for feedback from trainers, you must still pay close attention to the feedback from trainers and make notes.
When you receive input from trainers, any member of the group may provide a response, if possible. However, if you are not able to respond to the feedback or question immediately, you may thank the trainers for sharing their concerns, and explain to them that you will consider their input and get back to them.
Your assessor will brief volunteers in the audience to play trainers who will be affected directly by the change measures, and they will provide your group with feedback. Volunteers will receive cue cards to prompt them during the role play.
