Managing People and Teams

Managing People and Teams

1. Case Scenario

• Your group is from a well-regarded consultancy firm and has been engaged by your client to provide advice on addressing a variety of challenges. 

• Please read the attached MGT600-MGMT6009_Assessment 2_Case Scenario. This includes the details of your client and their challenges and objectives. Your brief from the client is to present your findings and recommendations to achieve key strategic objectives over the next two years.

2. Assessment Preparation 

• To address the case objectives, your consulting team will need to draw upon content from Modules 2, 3, and 4. 

• Please note that some consideration may need to be given to other module content if deemed relevant. It is also expected that groups conduct research using the module resources and beyond. 

• For each of the objectives mentioned in the case scenario, you are required to include at least one real-world example from the literature of how other organisations have successfully achieved the same or similar. For each example, you should specify the organisation, the situation it faced, action taken, and outcomes achieved. 

• Your assessment submission will be in two parts: an oral presentation and a summary report.

3. Oral Presentation 

• The group presentation can be considered a pitch for your recommendations. 

• This oral presentation should provide a short introduction, setting of the context and research. The major part of your presentation should focus on the findings, recommendations, and justification.

3. Summary Report

 • As a group, you are also required to submit a 750-word summary report along with the presentation. 

• Please structure the summary report as follows: 

o Cover sheet: Student name, ID number, subject code and name, assessment number and title 

o Introduction: Outline the purpose and structure of your report.

 o Approach (methodology): Briefly describe how you conducted your research.

 o Main discussion: Key issues for consideration, findings, and supporting real-life examples 

o Recommendations: Provide a summary of your recommendations. 

o Conclusion o Reference list o Appendices 

4. Peer Evaluation MGT600-MGMT6009_Assessment_2_Brief_Case Study Presentation and Summary Report_5.1 

Page 3 of 6 Group participation constitutes 20% of the final mark for Assessment 3.

 Participation will be determined as follows: • Each student in the team will evaluate the other members’ contributions using a participation score matrix (see Group Participation Score Matrix attached). 

• Individually, each team member will assign a “Group participation score” (from 1–5) for each member of the group using the score matrix.

 • Each student is to assess peers’ contributions according to the Peer Evaluation Grading Scheme. 

• The participation score matrix submitted by each individual student via the Assessment 2 link at the same time as the final group digital presentation submission.

 • The Facilitator will use the average “group participation score” for each member to determine the weighted ‘Teamwork’ criterion row in the final marking rubric for this assessment.

 • All peer evaluation submissions are confidential and not viewed by the other team members. 

5. You are strongly advised to read the rubric, which is an evaluation guide with criteria for grading your assignment–this will give you a clear picture of what a successful oral presentation and summary report looks like.

Referencing

 It is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research. You are required to reference the graphics, diagrams, and models used in the presentation with the appropriate page numbers and text details. Please see more information on referencing here: Academic Skills webpage. Submission Instructions Graded submission – Group submission Submit your group oral presentation and the summary report for Assessment 2 via the Assessment link in the main navigation menu in MGT600 Management, People, and Teams. Only one student needs to submit these on behalf of the group. 

The Learning Facilitator will provide feedback via the Grade Centre in the LMS portal. Feedback can be viewed in My Grades. Peer Evaluation – Individual Submission Each individual student is to submit a completed team participation score matrix document in the Assessment 2 – Peer Evaluation submission link.
