Assessment Task 2: Team planning meeting
| Tasks required for this unit This unit of competency requires that you: |
| Instructions for how you will complete these requirements are included below. |
Complete the following activities.
Carefully read the following information.
| You are the manager of a busy café within the Blue Healer Hotel and Spa. Apart from you and the owner, there is a full-time chef named Navneet, two sou chefs, two part-time kitchen porters and casual wait staff employed. The casual wait staff are from the local area and are mostly university students or high school students working part-time shifts. The team is tight knit and work well together. The casual wait staff visit the café socially sometimes and the culture is one of sharing and helping each other out when needed. The café’s vision is to be the most popular café within the local region renowned for its amazing local food and service and vibrant atmosphere. Its mission is to grow the café and its popularity by strong leadership, sound communication and the provision of a clear strategic direction that ensures it’s a great place for staff to work; it provides food and beverages that the public wants with a focus on local produce and sustainable practices; and it becomes known for its vibe and atmosphere. Values listed in its Strategic Plan include: The organisation has adopted three key strategic goals is to improve local interest in the community and not just rely on the hotel guests for revenue, specifically to: A key approach to achieve these will be to establish relationships with local talent to provide entertainment and increase advertising locally. The owner has asked you to develop a team work plan that will include a range of tasks and activities that the café’s staff can carry out over the next twelve months to achieve the key strategic goals and objectives. In order to develop a plan that will be enthusiastically adopted by the team, you are to conduct a meeting with the staff to inform them of the new key goals, and to workshop innovative ideas they may have that could help the business achieve them. With the participation of the staff, you are to translate their ideas into actions that they will then carry out. What do I need to demonstrate? During this task, you will be required to demonstrate a range of the skills and knowledge that you have developed during your course. These include: How will I provide evidence? Your assessor will provide you with templates to complete each task. You will find some detailed information about providing evidence; this will include; You will need to complete each activity and submit the required task at the end of each step completed. Tips for completing your activities Most importantly, ask for help if you are having trouble! |
| The meeting will provide an opportunity for all the café’s employees to contribute to the next stage of the business’s development. You will be collecting ideas about how the team can fulfil the business’s objectives. You are expected to encourage all team members to be innovative and be constructive in their participation. Keep in mind that this unit’s focus is on teams working in an effective way, and you are being assessed on your ability to encourage and support your colleagues to do this. Review the case study information and write some notes on your plans for the meeting. You will know the other meeting participants, so structure the meeting in a way that is appropriate for these people (your classmates). Use appropriate language and social references, too. Write a statement of what the team’s purpose and long-term objectives are, to take to the meeting with you. This will be just your starting point, though, as these will have to be discussed and accepted by all the meeting’s participants. As well as leading the meeting, you will be taking notes, and writing up a report afterwards. Review the Team Work Plan Template to order the information you receive at the meeting. How do you want to document the meeting’s proceedings? With a white board, computer and projector, or butcher’s paper? |
| The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style. It should summarise the preparations you have made in activity 1 and set out what you hope to achieve at the meeting. The text of the email should ask for the date, time, and place of the meeting. |
| The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite and warm) style. The email’s text should list the café’s three key strategic goals and invite the recipient to a meeting to discuss how the team can achieve these, in particular activities that can be conducted to assist in achieving these goals. It should summarise the goals of the meeting and its importance and encourage the team members to start thinking of activities appropriate for meeting the team’s goals, and to bring these to the meeting. Include the date, time, and place of the meeting in the email. |
| Check that there is enough seating for all meeting participants. Every participant should be able to see the whiteboard, and the seating should be arranged to encourage a group discussion. Ensure that all of the physical elements are functioning correctly before the meeting begins. |
| Begin the meeting by welcoming the participants and giving a summary of the organisation’s goals and objectives, and how encouraging innovation in the workplace can support these. Your next step is to establish, and document, the team’s purpose and long-term objectives and how these support the business’s goals and objectives. You are being asked here to role-play a Team Leader, leading colleagues in thinking up new ways of doing things, but you are also a student, asking your student colleagues for new ideas and how they can be translated into actions. Your team members will all most probably have a favourite café. Bring this out at the meeting, getting them to look at their own motivations as to what they enjoy, and look at how this could be used to motivate others, as well as their experiences of events (music or social activities) that assisted in increasing interest and support of their favourite eatery. Also, be aware that the other students at the meeting will be conducting a meeting on the same topic within a short time of you conducting yours. So, try to establish your own meeting leadership style. It should be uniquely yours, and effective. Be conscious that you will be modelling effective meeting leadership throughout the meeting. You should consciously behave as a role model for your colleagues, behaving in a way that encourages team excellence. Even though you may think that you know what the business should do, being a leader in this meeting means that you are responsible for engaging and motivating the other meeting participants, leading them in collaboration. Not leading them by telling them what to do. When you have conducted the preliminaries, open the meeting up to ideas that the participants have brought with them. Document the brainstorm on the whiteboard. Discuss (and record) the ideas the participants give, asking the others for input, looking at it practically, working out what preparation would be necessary, material, personnel, whatever is relevant to carrying the idea to realisation. While encouraging the team members to find and develop ideas, you are expected to display the following leadership skills: During the meeting, you are required to demonstrate effective communication skills including: As you come to the meeting’s conclusion: Finish the meeting by thanking the participants and telling them that you will collate the ideas that they have shared and the activities that they have selected to undertake into a Team Work Plan, with each person’s roles and responsibilities clearly set out. Tell the participants when they can expect to have the plan. Give yourself a realistic but challenging time frame for this. |
