Task 3.1 Manage opportunities for further improvement
The project team has now implemented CI initiatives planned for in Task 2 to improve sustainable work practices.
Consider the following data and information:
1
Overall satisfaction with the implementation:
50% Totally satisfied
50% Somewhat satisfied
2
You have received the following feedback:
The Project Sponsor wants all reports printed out; this is against the paperless initiative
It would be a good idea to provide project team members with Ipads to facilitate paperless work
Some team members still use disposable coffee cups when buying take away coffees
All team members bring food from home using reusable containers
Food is often left in the fridge for days, and it is always the same team member
who has to empty the food containers and wash them
When the order for LED lights bulbs was placed, it was denied by the CFO. He thinks that they are expensive.
The advice to put computers in hibernation mode if taking a break or go to a meeting was successful; however, sometimes team members still forget.
It would be a good idea to introduce the use of brown bins to recycle food waste.
The CI register is not regularly updated.

The Project Sponsor is impressed with the implementation of the CI initiatives and would like to extend the improvements across the business.
However, the Board of Directors does not quite understand sustainability, and they
may think that improving sustainable work practices may come at a price.
A.
Review Feedback
Meet with the project team in week 5 of class and review the feedback received on the implementation of the continuous improvement initiatives.
In collaboration with the team:
Determine how to address the feedback (all feedback must be addressed: how to improve the implementation of the CI initiatives based on feedback).
Determine how the planning and operations of CI initiatives could be improved.
Identify areas for further improvement. For example, work arrangements to improve work-life balance, engagement with the community to support non-for-profit work, reduce water consumption, consider how to improve the supply chain to work with sustainable suppliers, change the procurement policy to only buy energy-efficient products etc.…
Identify key actions and assign responsibility for the implementation.
Duration: 30-45 minutes.
The trainer and assessor will validate your participation in the meeting and provide feedback on the Marking Sheet. If you are absent from class, you are responsible for making alternative arrangements with the trainer and assessor to review the feedback and identify areas for further improvements.

Review of feedback
100-150 words
After the conversation with the executive director, he concurred with the proposed enhancements for continuous improvement. Nevertheless, there are also fresh proposals, like the adoption of electronic tablets to decrease paper consumption. These suggestions aren't universally embraced by all staff members, as a few still opt for disposable coffee cups, and others have not yet BSBSTR502 - Facilitate continuous improvement V3 2021

switched to more efficient light bulbs or activated hibernate mode on their computers. Conversely, certain ideas have gained traction,
such as encouraging employees to bring lunch from home and implementing dedicated trash bins for organic waste.
Improvement of
CI planning and operations
Additional education is needed within this realm. For instance, it would prove beneficial if an individual could consistently recall the importance of avoiding disposable containers and appropriately sorting waste during disposal. Advancements are being achieved in
this sphere, as a subset of employees has proactively embraced this practice by bringing their lunches from home. There are also those who consistently bear in mind the significance of placing computers in hibernation mode to conserve energy.
Opportunities for further improvement
(2-3 opportunities, 50-
100 words)
Individuals have a proclivity for opting for bins specifically designated for organic waste disposal. The adoption of electronic tablets could prove to be an exceptionally advantageous concept, as it would substantially reduce paper consumption. With the CEO's
proper persuasion, it can be demonstrated that LED lights are not only more cost-effective but also consume significantly less energy.
Action Items
(10-12)
• Provide instances of electronic tablets and present alternative options across different price ranges.
• Cite LED lights as examples.
• To acquire a receptacle for organic waste disposal, contact the entity responsible for waste management.
• Procure extra disposable coffee cups and place them visibly accessible to all.
• Persuade the CEO to transition to generating reports digitally.
• Ensure that individuals leaving the classroom either power off their devices or place them in hibernation mode before departing.

Good morning,
While certain behaviors are showing a tendency to change, resistance persists in other domains, which emerges as the primary take away from the discussion held with departmental managers regarding the potential for ongoing workplace development. The subsequent recommendations are my foremost suggestions, though you can access the complete Continuous Improvement registry attached to this email for further
details:
• Highlight the use of electronic tablets as an illustrative example, offering various price-range options: I consider this solution highly practical and well-aligned with the budget.
• Concerning LED lights, it remains puzzling why this transition hasn't been implemented, given the significant reduction in energy consumption.
• Initiate a conversation with the waste management company to secure a container for organic waste disposal; this not only presents an intriguing alternative but could also serve as an educational tool.
I believe the following strategies will effectively sway the directors during the upcoming
meeting:
• Present concrete statistics derived from analogous experiences across different geographical locations.
• Provide premium quotations to vividly demonstrate the actual variations in pricing.
• Quantify the potential annual savings to underscore the financial benefits.
Please provide the valuable feedback. With regards Project manager.
