Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to establish the preconditions for the implementation of an identified change and implement the change using a change network approach. The change may be a ‘step change’ or may result from a problem-solving exercise, such as a Kaizen Blitz.
This unit applies to team leaders, managers or similar roles with influence, authority and responsibility over change processes. The individual will determine the scope of the change project, develop the change network map and high level change plans, identify and manage risks and implement and sustain the change.
This unit applies to organisation that is implementing competitive systems and practices.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
