ORGANISATIONAL ACTION LEARNING REVIEW
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
Assessment 2
The purpose of this assessment is to give you the opportunity to apply the concepts learned in this course to your own organisational life.
Specifically,
You will analyse a specific incident that you (or someone you observed) could have handled more effectively,
Explain the organisational context within which the incident happened, and
Logically derive from your analysis specific actions you will take to improve your management assignment practice next time you encounter a similar event.
You should aim to draw on concepts from two to three Units of the course in your organisational action learning review (OALR).
Please present each ALR under the following four headings:
Specific incident: Provide a very brief description of a specific incident that you (or someone you have observed) could have handled more effectively. Be clear about what was said and done, but don’t get lost in the detail of the event. Include only as much detail as is necessary to create a platform for the analysis in the next section of your ALR.
Suggested length: Approximately 2−3 sentences
Organisational Context: Conduct an analysis of the organisational context.
Drawing on relevant data, describe the external and internal environment of the organisation. This may include an analysis of the changes in the PESTEL characteristics that have an impact on the way the organisation and employees within are behaving (Unit 3), a careful articulation and analysis of the strategy (Unit 3), structure (Unit 3), culture (Unit 4), and various policies and systems (Units 9, 10, or 11) of the organisation.
Be given for using lots of different ideas/concepts, but for presenting a tight and well-argued analysis of the organisational context. As such, you should draw on relevant data in order to justify your diagnosis.
This data could be from public records, any company documents you have access to, observations of the organisation, and/or interviews with managers.
Suggested length: Approximately 2 pages
Analysis: Explicitly draw upon relevant course concepts to illuminate why you (or another) did not think and act as effectively as you might have. Do not provide definitions for concepts. Instead, demonstrate your understanding of relevant concepts by the way you apply them to analyse how the event was handled.
