Assessment Task 2 Instructions

Carefully read the following:

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:

We are committed, as a business, to the well-being of both economic and ecological systems, of both humans and other living things,

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 Tasks

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.

Complete the following activities:

1. Develop a briefing report.

Review the case study information provided and conduct research using the Internet or any other source of information to identify the following:

· Relevant environmental and sustainability legislation, regulations and codes of practice

· Sources of information on sustainability, including incorporating sustainability into business planning and using it as an opportunity to identify new business initiatives.

· Sustainability policies and procedures developed by other organisations

· Life cycle mapping processes.

Use the sources indicated under “Required” on page 19 as information sources.

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.

Use the Briefing Report Template to guide your work.

Assessment Task 5 Instructions

Carefully read the following:

Assume that the sustainability policy and procedure you developed has been implemented, as well as findings from regular sustainability inspections. Sustainability initiatives implemented include:

Assume also the following sustainability targets:

· Reduce electricity consumption by 20% within six months.

· Promote awareness of sustainability initiatives amongst all staff members

A staff survey has been undertaken (results provided separately), as well as an energy audit. The results of the energy audit are as follows:

Actions implemented:

· replace halogen downlights with energy efficient downlights and transformers

· connect to natural gas, converting to an energy source with one-third of the greenhouse gas emissions of electricity from coal

· replace electric storage hot water heater with instant hot water

· replace air conditioner with a more efficient inverter unit.

Prior to energy audit:

· Annual energy bill: $2,415 a year

· Annual greenhouse emissions: 18 tonnes a year

Six months later:

· Annual energy bill: $1,800 a year

· Annual greenhouse emissions: 10.2 tonnes a year

One year later:

· Annual energy bill: $2,215 a year

· Annual greenhouse emissions: 14 tonnes a year

Note: Four new staff members employed may account for increase. Energy targets were not adjusted to account for the new staff.

· Analysis of energy audit data and achievements against targets

· Recommendations for additional actions that need to be taken based on the data above.

· Summary of the success of the sustainability policy and procedures based on analysis.

· Updates to sustainability policy and procedures to account for recommended improvements.
