Worlducation is a social start-up that manufactures tablet
computers for primary school students. They not only focus
on the hardware, but they also have a competitive team
creating software, content and activities to better engage
and educate the students. What makes Worlducation
completely different from their competition is that they
envision a world in which every child learns how to read and
write - a world without illiteracy. Given this vision, for every
classroom that buys their products, they donate and train a
classroom somewhere around the world that can’t afford the
same technology.
Business analyst. A Business Analyst is a person who helps
businesses to analyse their processes, products, services,

profitable decisions through insights and data analysis. A
Business analyst also helps organisations to document

integration with technology.

Business Analysis is the practice of enabling change in an
enterprise by defining needs and recommending solutions
that deliver value to stakeholders.
Business Analysis can be
understood as a research discipline that helps you to find the
business needs and identify solutions to business problems.
These solutions may include the development of a software
or system component, improvements in process,
organisational changes or strategic planning and policy
development. The purpose of business analysis is to identify
solutions that meet the need for improvement.
Financial analysis is used to evaluate economic trends, set
financial policy, build long-term plans for business activity,
and identify projects or companies for investment. This is
done through the synthesis of financial numbers and data. A
financial analyst will thoroughly examine a company's
financial statements—the income statement, balance sheet,
and cash flow statement. Financial analysis can be
conducted in both corporate finance and investment finance
settings.

Internal and external communication policy and procedures.
External communication policy and procedures are meant to
give your employees guidance for handling information,
either outgoing or incoming, that pertains to the
organisation.
Because internal communication policy is
made for your employees and for the benefit of your
business processes, it should be easily accessible. It’s also
important that everyone is notified of the policy as well as
subsequent updates.

The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 seeks to eliminate
discrimination against people with disabilities. The Disability
Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) makes it unlawful to
discriminate against a person, in many areas of public life,
including employment, education, getting or using services,
renting or buying a house or unit, and accessing public
places, because of their disability.
The Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) is the principal piece of
Australian legislation protecting the handling of personal

Subject: Clarification of communication
objectives Dear Farrah,
Good morning. I write you this email to ask request
your help in clarifying the communication objectives
that I have identified for the work activities. The
communication
objectives are:
Organising Resources. There are different
resources
such as financial resources, human resources,
material resources, etc. are integral parts of an organisation, and communication serves an essential role in organising all these resources.
Offering better Coordination. It is again one of
the
most crucial objectives of communication
when it
comes to the effective and efficient
management of an organisation.
Looking forward to your
reply. Best regard,
Feye.

Internal communication requirements:
Show Respect Through Your Conversation. Being respectful of the people you communicate with is an
important criterion for effective communication. Don’t Forget About Non-Verbal Communication. The
words we use to communicate make up less than 10
percent of the message that we convey.
External communication requirements
Be visual. Representing the information that you want to display in front of your audience in a visual form
helps them to remember it for a long time.

I will play the gate keeper. In a group or team setting, the
gatekeeper’s job is to ensure that all participants are freely
and openly involved in the group’s decision-making.
One of the team members will play harmoniser, when conflict becomes person-focused instead of task-focused, the harmoniser will help alleviate the tension of the group and help conflict parties solve their conflicts pro-socially. The other team member will play, standard setter, this role is similar to the opinion giver under the task roles, but this role is specifically focused on how the group goes about making decisions and then holds the groups to those standards. The client will play the group observer and commentator. The group-observer and commentator watches how the group goes about completing its purpose. This individual will take notes about the group’s functioning and then periodically inform the group about how well it is working as a group or team.
Email. Email is paperless, and therefore, beneficial for the
planet. Not only can you reduce the costs of paper, you are
actually reducing the damage paper usage does to the
environment. Email allows for mass sending of messages. An
effective medium to utilise to get your message out there,
you can send one particular message to several recipients all at
once.
Video conferencing software.
Video conferencing software not only creates a more collaborative meeting culture in your organisation, it’s a foundation for enabling today’s digital workforce. Video meetings help teams maintain human connections, irrespective of physical location, which speeds up decision making and improves your ability to collaborate globally.
