BMM6713 - Negotiated Learning: Strategy, Leadership and Change

Objectives:

On successful completion of the module, apprentices will be able to: 1 Evaluate the implications of approaches to organisational strategy and how strategic planning assists your organisation. 2 Evaluate different leadership approaches and the role played by culture and emotion in leadership. 3 Apply differed leadership approaches to the organisational change context.

Content:

The aim of this module is to introduce students to strategic and change management concepts to enable them to understand how to develop and implement organisational strategies and plans. Learners will be able to assess what methods an organisation could take to succeed in an ever-changing environment. Learners will explore and understand differing theories associated with organisational strategies and evaluate various implications of approaches to organisational strategy including supply chain management, workforce development and sustainability. Learners will evaluate quality assurance models, appraise change management models, and review these in context to their own organisations. Learners will study leadership approaches and the role of emotion and diversity management within leadership. They will be able to analyse their personal leadership approach and develop coaching and mentoring approaches within the workplace and understand limitations. Learning will be evidenced through contextualised examples bringing theory to life. Where appropriate tutors may well utilise learners actual live work context to demonstrate relevance and applicability. Case studies will also be used to supplement and further demonstrate key aspects of the module. This module will assist in further embedding previous knowledge associated with British Values, Prevent and Safeguarding as a basis for appropriate leadership behaviour within an organisation. English skills will be developed through developing communication approaches within the workplace. By creating a report format learners will utilise creative skills to bring the information to life. Learners will create a structured format in which to succinctly capture the necessary information. Digital skills will also be utilised to create the ‘Padlet’ for the portfolio assessment.

Learning and Teaching Information:

A variety of teaching and learning strategies will be employed throughout the module to ensure the acquisition and development of appropriate concepts, knowledge and skills and achievement of the stated learning outcomes. A variety of teaching and learning methods provide access to learning to meet a wide range of learner needs and are aimed at widening participation amongst learners to avoid exclusion and develop learner skills in academic studies and personal life situations.

This module will be taught over two days in a block structure at the start of the module and methods utilised within the 2 days will include: lecture style knowledge content and seminar style activities to discuss the content and enabling the learner to place it into context. This module will also have two virtual tutorial café (VTCs) sessions, these group sessions allow for reflective time following the delivery and will be utilised to support the learner in unpacking the content and the assessment requirements. VTC sessions will also be utilised as formative peer feedback sessions.

Independent study time should be spent on specific pre learning (on-demand learning – available to all students on Moodle), for example, engaging in specific background reading of the topic and online exercises. Post learning activities will be provided by the module tutor, but these will be assessment focused enabling the learner to achieve the assessment requirements. This apprenticeship is non-integrated, so an End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) is connected with the apprenticeship and the learners have a student membership which provides additional online resources to support achievement of the KSBs, these resources link with the subject areas across L4-L6. Learners are expected to engage with 1 hour a week on these activities to support them in their module and apprenticeship.

All activities and materials provided on Moodle will support the module content for the module delivery including pre, live and post activities and any additional EPAO resources.

The sequencing of the sessions will provide re-enforcement of the theoretical concepts developed during the delivery in a progressive pattern, aimed at developing knowledge and overall understanding.
