are company shareholders.
A new Strategic Plan was recently developed to guide the organisation over the next three
years. One of the key objectives of the Strategic Plan is for Grow Management Consultants
to become established as a learning organisation.
You are the newly appointed General Manager and the CEO has given you the task of
developing, implementing and monitoring an organisational learning strategy for the
company, as the first step towards establishing Grow Management Consultants a learning
organisation.
Before you commence this task, you should ensure that you are familiar with the company’s
Strategic Business Plan and its objectives in relation to learning and development, as well as
the human resources policies and procedures that are in place.

2. Write a learning strategies report

You are required to lead learning strategy formation by researching and evaluating
organisational learning approaches and methods, examining options for organisational
learning, including an assessment of the organisation’s strategic requirements and processes
that are in place and then making recommendations for an organisational learning strategy.
Conduct your research, analysis and evaluation and develop a report that includes the
following:

 An evaluation of a range of methods and approaches to learning and workplace

training and how they would support the company’s strategic requirements as
documented in the Strategic Business Plan. As a guide you should describe a minimum
of three methods and approaches to organisational learning.

 An analysis of how organisational learning can contribute to a company’s ability to

BSBHRM613

learning and development strategies

grow and develop and therefore be more competitive.

 A review of the company’s existing policies and procedures relevant to organisational

learning/training and assessment and any current gaps. These are:
o Recruitment, Selection and Induction Policy and Procedures.

o Performance Appraisal Policy and Procedures

 A review of current best practice for policies and processes that support organisational
learning: what are they and what should they include?

 Recommendations for the structure and content of the company’s organisational

learning strategy. Recommendations should be based on your research and the
company’s strategic requirements and policies discussed above.

 Define the ideal technological and systems requirements for an organisational learning
strategy and compare to what is currently in place.

 Define and document communication and consultation process that can be used to
support development and implementation of organisational learning strategy.

 Recommend procedures that can be incorporated into the organisational learning

strategy to systematically liaise with educators/instructors, learners and others to
monitor the extent to which learning strategies and learning resources are achieving
the organisational learning targets.
Use the Learning Strategies Report Template to guide your work.
As a guide, your report would be between 4 and 5 pages in length.

Submit your report to your assessor.

Consult with senior management

Now that you have completed the research, it’s time to consult with the senior management
team to:

 outline your findings and ideas

 discuss the impact of your recommendations on the organisation

 examine and review the options for deploying new policies and procedures needed
across the organisation
Go through each section of your report, asking for the other Managers’ feedback on what
you have written and discuss their ideas and opinions.

Your strategy should:

 Address the overall organisational requirements for an organisational learning

strategy, as well as specific instructor and learner requirements, building on from the
Learning Strategies Report you developed.

 Include relevant units of competency as given in the feedback provided to you at the
meeting

 Set out the learning and assessment strategies that you have developed while
researching you report and during the meeting. Each strategy should allow some
flexibility, so it is more responsive to any changed circumstances or priorities.

 Include procedures to systematically liaise with educators/instructors, learners and

others to monitor the extent to which learning strategies and learning resources are
achieving the organisational learning targets.

 For each strategy, include responsibilities, timelines, resources and performance

indicators.
Use the Organisational Learning Strategy Template to guide your work. (Refer to the
student resources on LMS)
