Assessment Task 2 Instructions
Grow Consultants specialises in leadership consultancy, and has been operational for the last five years.
It offers a range of services which support companies to:
assess leadership behaviour of existing managers and their performance metrics
design and implement customized leadership programs based on the assessment.
Services are offered Australia-wide, with consultants flying in to conduct specific training with companies, as
well as offering regular workshops at the company’s premises. To date, technology (for example, webinars)
has not been employed in training.
The company also writes and produces books on a range of topics about leadership. Currently the company
has ten publications, which are published through a publishing house in the USA (Hozit Publishers). One of
the Principal Consultants is American and knew these publishers. The cost of publishing the books and
shipping to Australia is about the same as it would be use a publisher in Australia.
The books are produced using non-recycled paper and are transported via air to Grow Management
Consultants office. They are then distributed by post to customers from the Grow Management Consultants’
office. As sales have been slow for the books, the company has also been exploring options for e-books.
The company was established by its Principal Consultants, Paul Burns and Sammy Martin, both of whom
are Directors. The company also employs four Senior Consultants, an Operations Manager, an Office
Manager, Administration Officer and a Receptionist.
The office building is owned by the company and is located in an outer lying metropolitan suburb. All staff
drive to work in their own cars and there is on-site parking. The nearest railway station is 10 minutes’ walk
from the office.
Paul Burns has recently attended a Sustainable Business workshop and is keen to implement sustainable
practices throughout the business. The strategic plan has also been recently updated and has been
influenced by Paul’s attendance at the workshop. It includes the following statement as part of the mission
statement:
However, there are no specific actions indicated in the Strategic Plan and so, at present, the statement
appears to be paying lip service only.
Paul is keen to develop a sustainability policy and procedures that address all aspects of the business
including, as a minimum: travel, purchasing, office energy use, office supplies, and cleaning. However, Paul
also has specifically stated that he does not want to incur costs in developing policy and procedure and that
all the work must be developed in-house, therefore consultants must not be used.
Assessment BSBSUS501.V3

Current issues and practices within the organisation are as follows;
There is older style florescent lighting in all offices, staff room and bathroom. These lights
are often left on after the work day has finished.
There are no formal energy usage procedures for staff or signage to remind staff.
The company does not have a policy for purchasing equipment and buys equipment when
required, often purchasing whatever is on special at the time.
The two principal consultants have company vehicles. Both vehicles are now five years old
and need to be upgraded.
Staff buy stationary requirements on an ad hoc basis, often resulting in large stocks of items
such as notepads and A grade printer paper.
There is a waste bin and recycling bins, which are mostly used correctly.
The company hosts regular meetings and workshops. Catering is provided by an external
caterer with all plates and cups supplied (plastic).
The office is cleaned once a week by contract cleaners who use regular cleaning products.
Current company procedures for developing policies and procedures are as follows:
The need for the policy and procedure should be established and a preliminary briefing
report developed.
This should be discussed at a meeting with the senior management team consisting of at
least one of the Principal Consultants. Another staff member should also be selected to ensure
representation of all staff.
Using your research and analysis, develop a briefing report to present at a senior management
meeting. The purpose of the briefing report will be to provide relevant information about
sustainability, including legislation and to seek input into the development of the policy and
procedure.
Assessment BSBSUS501.V3

Use the Briefing Report Template to guide your work.
The email text should also identify stakeholders who will need to be involved with the policy
development as per the scenario information provided.
Your assessor will advise you of the date and time of the meeting.
Assessment BSBSUS501.V3

You should also print enough copies of your briefing report to provide one to every participant at
the meeting.
At the meeting stakeholders will provide input into the development of the policy and procedures
through their comments and ideas. Encourage their participation.
It should:
Outline the feedback provided at the meeting that you will take into account in
developing the policy and procedures
Confirms their agreement to the scope of the sustainability policy and procedures,
including:
o Required outcomes of the sustainability policy and procedure
o Key Performance Indicators for sustainability actions
o Methods of implementation that will be used to implement the sustainability policy and
procedures
Ensure that your policy and procedures make a statement about the organisation’s commitment
to sustainability (as set out in the scenario information), as well as how sustainability initiatives
will be incorporated into business planning and will also serve as business opportunities.
