Assessment brief/activity
You have been asked to provide a slide (or equivalent) presentation* lasting around 20 minutes on ‘The context of L&D’. The presentation could be for new starters in your team or to other key stakeholders in your organisation. You should assume they will have less understanding of organisations and L&D than those with a longer experience of employment in an L&D role.
Activity 1
? In preparation, you should develop slides (or equivalent) with related notes pages that cover the following:
? Similarities and differences between organisation types
? An evaluation of the implications of these different organisation types for L&D
policy and practice
? At least three internal and three external factors that can impact on the
achievement of organisational objectives
? Your findings from using at least two analytical tools
? An explanation of at least five ways the L&D function can assist organisations in
achieving their objectives
? The steps involved in developing L&D policy and practice
*Please note: there is no requirement to deliver a presentation
Only, activity one you need to do it. This is a diploma course. I need to pass this course badly.
