1., Characteristics of organisations identify and assess: The seven structures and systems present in your organisation and describe how the present Leadership Value Systems and Structures in your organisation impact on leadership, management and staff. and analyse differences to your competitors (local or global) to what extent are these differences positive points of differentiation or negative traits of the organisation 2. Critically analyse, your organisations sector: has your sector evolved, aYd°theYdifferrYeurc'mPe ttrstcaiprglbai o at extent are these dfferncespositepts Ofdifferentiation or negative traits of the organisation 3. Organisation's transformation and growth. What kinds of changes are taking place in your sector and what do you believe the most successful organizations are doing to embrace the changes required to deliver continued success? what extent is your organisation at the forefront of this transformation (or maybe it is trailing some of the best organisations in the sector). Give examples of specific actions and leadership behaviours you are seeing to underpin your view.

Conclusions 15% Conclusions are valid and clearly derived from in-depth analysis and reflection drawing on application of major theoretical contributors and experiential learning. Entirely convincing. Conclusions are clearly derived from in-depth analysis through application of most major theoretical contributors and experiential learning. Largely convincing Conclusions are mainly derived from analysis through application of theoretical contributors and experiential learning. Limited and not entirely convincing. Conclusions are acceptable but not clearly derived from analysis through application of theoretical contributors and experiential learning. Validity of conclusions is unconvincing. Conclusions do not follow from the evidence and argument presented. A random collection of statements based on the student’s own point of view with little or no attempt to draw analysis to conclusions.

Analysis 45% Critical evaluation of an excellent range of directly relevant quality academic and practitioner sources.
