Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to develop, validate and implement an innovation project to improve individual, team and/or organisational performance in the forest and wood products industry. The unit applies to senior managers across a range of forest and wood products industry workplaces and to operations of all sizes.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following resources must be made available:

Computers, keyboards, printers, software and other resources used to prepare budgets, document and record policies and project plans

Documents, spreadsheets and proformas commonly used to develop, plan, validate and implement an innovation, such as:

worksheets

recording and data collection sheets

policies and procedures.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessor requirements

Assessors must:

Hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and

be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and

be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.

4.4 Manage and review the implementation process and provide reports to appropriate personnel.

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must be able to provide evidence that they can:

For a given forest and wood products industry organisation within any sector, manage one project to develop, plan, validate and implement an innovation for the improvement of individual, team and/or organisational performance. The innovation “need” may be supplied to the candidate or self-identified.

For that project, develop a comprehensive project plan.

A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

Innovation requirements, including:

objectives

design deliverables

quality standards.

Methods used to trial innovations, including any of the following:

focus group

pilot project

feasibility assessment

Key components of project management, including:

planning

risk management strategies

implementation and monitoring

review of outcomes.
