Assessment Task 1:

Description:

REVIEW AND ANALYSE AN OPERATIONAL PLAN

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 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.
Please note, merely reiterating the contents of the plan will not be construed as an analysis. Cambridge dictionary defines analysis as the process of breaking up a concept, proposition, linguistic complex, or fact into its simple or ultimate constituents. Accordingly, it will be expected that you will write the analysis in your own words and understanding.

Plan analysis must be word processed and appropriately structured under headings/sub-headings.
Word Limit: There is no work limit for this task. However, it is expected that the analysis will be contained within four to five singles sided A4 sheets with a maximum spacing of 1.5.

This assessment task must be completed during an in-house assessment session in presence of an assessor.
As this assessment task is given as a formative assessment, the trainer/assessor may provide an opportunity for corrections/improvements as a feedback. Where corrections/improvements are required, the students will be allowed to resubmit their works for marking without any academic penalty. Only two such attempts will be allowed before a further assessment is made on specific learning needs of the learner. If you have any learning difficulties or constrains, discuss with your trainer/assessor at the earliest.
