Introduction

The Worksheet development activity is designed to help you undertake the analysis work that will be needed to complete your final assignment.

It covers 5 of the key worksheets that you will need to do in order to have a meaningful analysis conducted for the target organisation to be used in your final assignment, and from which you can then develop your report.

This is not to say that these 5 worksheets are the only ones you should use for this final report - but they are ones that should be used as a minimum.

Brief

For each of the 5 worksheets addressed in this activity, you need to analyse your organisation (the one you will be using for your final assignment) and complete the sections on the worksheet as are relevant.

Try and be brief - don't submit a document with large volumes of text added - go straight to the point.

If you prepare a version of a worksheet that has a large amount of 'discussion text' added (eg, you using the worksheet to chat through the issues to help you better work them through) then please strip this out of the document you submit - keep to the key points and the facts.

When gathering data for these worksheets, search for facts and evidence. Don't just fill them in based on a 'personal knowledge' basis. You should be able to back up your worksheet content with evidence.

Referencing your sources of data should be used wherever possible.

Once you have prepared the worksheet, submit it together with a covering page answering the set questions for each of the activities.

You will be assessed on the extent to which you have answered the set questions, and the extent to which your worksheet presents a thorough and coherent document.
