Assessment Task 1: Review and Analyse a Samples Operational Plan

Analysis report on a sample operational plan is required.

An Operational Plan is a detailed action-oriented plan that provides a clear picture of how a team, section or department will contribute to the achievement of the organisation's strategic goals (FLN). An operational plan could be part of a strategic or a business plan, addressing human resource, physical resource, action items, key performance indicators, and operational budget requirements to achieve the intended goals. A contingency plan often accompanies an operational plan that prepares for alternative actions in case the operational plan meets any obstacles.

With a view to develop an understanding of key components and use of operational plans, you will review and analyse a sample operational in this assessment task. The sample operational plans are actual plans obtained from public domain sources for the purpose of this assessment. Formats and contents of the plan differ from organisation to organisation. However, you will be required to analyse the plan within the context of the following areas.

Stated goals and objectives
Key performance areas
Key performance indicators
Human resource (people), processes, and technology requirements
Physical and other resource requirements
Action plan/task/items
Budget/cost expectations
Key responsibilities

Ensure that your sample plan provides you with enough information to analyse the above components. Your analysis will essentially be based on your understanding and explanation of the plan - what you think about it, its key features, and how, in your view, this plan will help the organisation achieve their strategic objectives. You may also want to visit respective organisation's website and gather further information to support your analysis/comments.
