Assessment Task 4 Instructions

Complete the following activities:

1. Develop presentation

For this part of the assessment task you are required to develop a PowerPoint presentation to
assist in informing employees about the change management plan you developed in
Assessment Task 3, as well as the communication and education plan to be adopted during the
change management process.
The purpose of the presentation is to ensure that employees are fully informed and also have
the opportunity to contribute to the change management process. You may also wish to review
Kotter’s 8-Step change model to assist you in developing a presentation that will appeal to staff
and will promote acceptance of the change.
Ensure that you are providing comprehensive information to staff to assist staff to accept the
changes. Make time in the presentation for staff to give input to facilitate their acceptance of the
changes to come. This will relate to the risk control treatments you identified in Assessment
Task 2.
Your presentation should include graphics such as images, charts and tables. You must
develop the required number of slides to support a presentation of about 30 minutes.
The presentation you develop must clearly outline:
 the rationale and vision for the change

 the benefits of the change

 Impacts of the change on operations

 Strategies to be adopted to minimise the negative effects on staff. This should also include
an outline of the proposed arrangements for redundancies and the restructuring of current
jobs in head office.
 Prior to the presentation, send your power points to your assessor via email. Your assessor
will email you about a date and time for your presentation.

1. Conduct the presentation

Prior to the meeting you will be required to set up the space as you would in the workplace,
including the projector for your power points and chairs for participants.

Go through each of the presentation slides, explaining the changes and the change
management process, as well as communication and education. You must provide
comprehensive information to staff to outline the changes to assist staff to accept the changes.
You must also provide the opportunity for input again to facilitate acceptance of the change.

During and after the presentation, you will be required to demonstrate effective communication
skills including questioning and active listening to clarify or confirm understanding of
issues/questions raised by employees.

At the presentation you will need to seek employees’ ideas or suggestions about the changes.

Bear in mind that there will be some sensitivities, as the changes will require job losses. Your
assessor will roleplay a staff member and you will be expected to respond to that staff member
using effective communication skills, as well as problem solving skills.

One of the staff members (roleplayed by your assessor) will be upset and you will need to
handle this. You will need to do this through using your problem-solving skills to work out how
to handle this situation, as well as speaking clearly and calmly and acknowledging the staff
members’ feelings, as well as
