organised to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.

Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact, the
result in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons.
Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of
academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action. Collusion
or copying from other learners is not permitted and will result in a “0” grade and NYC.
Assessments must be typed using document software such as (or similar to) MS Office.
Handwritten assessments will not be accepted (unless, prior written confirmation is provided
by the trainer/assessor to confirm).

awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not yet Competent” (NYC) for the relevant unit of competency.
If you are deemed “Not Yet Competent” you will be provided with feedback from your
assessor and will be given another chance to resubmit your assessment task(s). If you are

Activity 1D
Performance Criteria
P.C. 1.5 Regularly evaluate own approaches for consistency with the wider organisational or
project context
Case study B
It‟s hard to talk about customer experience innovation in the auto industry without mentioning
Tesla. The electric vehicle upstart has built an enviable following that many established
automakers would die for, and it has done that by innovating the customer experience in
numerous ways.
While one could look at the purchase process – Tesla has convinced hundreds of thousands of
consumers to pre-order its new Model 3 – Tesla‟s customer experience innovation is perhaps
most notable when it comes to what happens after customers have their cars.
Tesla models are truly connected cars, and the company boasts that “90% of issues can be
identified from a customer‟s garage.” When service is needed, Tesla has built a service network
that is capable of sending mobile technicians to customers. For issues that require a customer
to bring a car into a Tesla service centre, customers will soon be able to schedule an
appointment directly through their car‟s console.
What‟s more, Tesla has pioneered over-the-air (OTA) software updates that can literally
“upgrade” cars in an instant. Some of the upgrades are relatively simple and relate software
accessed via the car‟s console, but OTA updates have been used to deliver a new Auto High
Beam feature and Tesla‟s Autopilot 2.0 functionality.
Because Tesla can add significant capabilities to existing cars without any physical
modification, essentially giving Tesla owners a continuously improving car, one analyst has
suggested that other automakers are “highly vulnerable to obsolescence” if they don‟t catch up
and embrace OTA updates themselves.
Question 1:
Read a case study of Tesla Innovative Project, imagine if you were working in Tesla
company, how you would carry out a review/evaluation to innovate and write a short
description of the consistency or inconsistency with this project context.
After reviewing the whole matter, the project has a tendency of consistency.
The company is providing modern facilities to build or create a strong community.
Providing advanced facilities for our customers so that they can enjoy the Tesla car
ride.Companies are always upgrading their product models whether it is related to
design or technology.

Context
Herti is a Bulgarian manufacturing company specialising in the production of aluminium,
plastic and composite closures which find application in various areas of the food, beverage
and pharmaceutical industries. Founded in 1993, Herti has grown into a company with 350
employees and a diversified range of customisable products exported to bottling companies
across Europe and the rest of the world. Herti develops and distributes new products in
cooperation with its spin-off engineering company That which specialises in machinery
design and production and its subsidiary trading companies in UK, France, Germany and
Romania. At its current stage of development, the company strives to keep increasing the
quality of its products and its production efficiency. The expansion to highly competitive
Western European and US markets after 2000 and the acquisition of large international
clients with sophisticated demands triggered a process of organisational change. To meet
their clients‟ quality standards the company started investing purposefully in innovation,
facilities, processes and human capital. It is the management philosophy that workplace
innovation reconciles the tension between the constant pressure for efficiency gains and
employees job satisfaction. The most important reason behind their adoption is the need to
respond efficiently to customer needs on the highly competitive international markets. The
importance of extrinsic factors stems from the company‟s ambition to gain larger market
shares abroad and the related imperative for continuous technological and organisational
improvement. Initiated top-down, workplace innovation practices were designed and adopted
in a participative and transparent manner, thus mitigating to a minimum organisational inertia
and resistance to change. There is no formalised process for adopting workplace innovation
practices in the company and top management commitment can be considered as critical for
their success.

in terms of employees‟ education and control.‟
So who benefits?
There is a substantial consensus among employees and management that adopted
workplace innovation practices have contributed to the improvement of a large spectrum of
organisational outcomes such as employee engagement, higher performance, long-term
sustainability of the organisation, profitability and efficiency. With the complete introduction
Page 40 of 54
of the SAP system, which began in 2013, and the accompanying adoption of balanced
scorecards with formal targets in terms of productivity, sales, customer satisfaction, etc., the
company will have the tools to measure the effects of innovation on organisational
outcomes, including those of workplace innovation. Improved working environment and
higher performance emerged as the two most important impacts of adopted workplace
innovation practices.
Prognosis
In view of the long-term strategic goal of the management to compete on the highly
competitive international markets WPI practices will continue to be used as a powerful
weapon in the company‟s arsenal. This is clearly reflected in the conviction that „workplace
innovation creates the environment and conditions which are necessary for employees to
become high performers and contribute their best for the company‟s mission and goals‟
