Breakdown of the task to meet the learning outcomes
1. Explore, contrast, and critically evaluate, the business case for the use of high performance in these two organisations (learning outcomes 1 -3)
2. Explore, using research evidence, the practical difficulties, challenges, and implications encountered by the use of performance management/ high performance in these two organisations (learning outcomes 1- 3)
3. Consider, and develop balanced proposals, using research evidence relating to how these practical difficulties/ challenges might be effectively managed or responded to in the current and longer term (Learning outcomes 1- 3).
4. Examine the implications for line managers, and assess how the organisations can ensure line managers are carrying out their responsibilities effectively. (Learning Outcome 2)
