Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to a person who has policy responsibility in an organisation for managing external relationships that may impact on the performance, community standing or regulatory compliance of the organisation. Examples of the application of this unit include department leaders, managers or similar. The unit covers managing a range of external organisations to the maximum benefit of the organisation and the organisation's customers while also identifying areas of mutual interest and benefit with the external organisations. Relationships may or may not be initiated by the person’s own organisation.
This unit does not cover the analysis and improvement of relationships between members of a value stream, such as suppliers and customers.
This unit primarily requires the application of skills associated with communication in gathering, analysing and applying information and consulting with stakeholders. Problem solving, initiative and enterprise, and planning and organising are also required. This unit also requires aspects of self-management and learning to ensure feedback and new learning is integrated into relationship systems and expectations.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to identify and manage relationships with non-customer external organisations, such as community groups, other businesses, training providers, research organisations and government departments.
