Task 2 – Conduct the meeting
Instructions for the role plays:
You are to carry out two (2) role plays. One for a formal meeting and one for an informal meeting.
Role Play 1
You chair a formal meeting with relevant people in the organisation to discuss the situation of the scenario given in Task 1.
Use the documents produced in Task 1 of this assessment as the basis for your meeting.
The meeting should take 15 minutes. Your assessor will advise you which item or items on the agenda should be used for you to demonstrate your skills.
Before the meeting, you must appropriately brief Evelyn who will be the Minute taker.
During facilitation of the meeting you must ensure that the following occurs:
• Participation
• Discussion
• Problem solving and resolution of issues.
Your assessor will take a part in the role play and will assist you to arrange another three people to participate in the role play. These people will each have a character to play as follows.
The Roles
1. Evelyn – Administration Manager. Evelyn is quiet and only contributes in meetings when asked to. She will be the minute taker for this meeting and take notes.
2. Francesco – HR and Training Manager. Francesco can dominate meetings, if not brought into line,
3. Magnus – Sales and Marketing Manager. Magnus is upset about not achieving his set targets and blames the outcomes on poor recruitment and training as well as the lack of good policies and procedures.
4. Scott – Operations Manager. Scott is new to Green Tree and is keen to do whatever needs to be done in order to achieve organisational goals.
Role Play 2:
1. After the formal meeting, you have an informal meeting with Scott (Operations Manager) to discuss how he is settling into the company and what assistance he needs. Your assessor will play the part of Scott who is settling in really well and is happy to tell you what assistance he needs.
2. As this is an informal meeting, no minutes are required but after the meeting, you need to send an email to Scott confirming what you discussed and confirm the assistance you will provide. Send the email to your assessor. Ensure that you format the email as directed in the Document Style Guide.
Your assessor will document this activity and use the observation checklist below to record your performance.
Your assessor will want to see that you can:
