Assessment Task 2

Requirements

1. Develop procedures for the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle environmental sustainability program
to encourage environmentally responsible disposal of IT equipment at the office. After developing the
procedures, prepare a 10 minute presentation to all office staff to communicate your procedures. You
should incorporate a 5 minutes question and answer portion where you will have to demonstrate an
effective way to handle stakeholder objections to recommended sustainability procedures. A copy of the
developed procedures needs to be submitted as evidence.

2. Develop a plan of action (strategy) for continuous improvement in resource efficiency,

specifically in the ICT Department. Kaizen principles must be incorporated in the plan. A copy of the plan
needs to be submitted as evidence.

3. Establish a recording system to track and record continuous improvement outcomes related
to sustainability programs initiated in the workplace. For example, develop an Excel spreadsheet
template to record and keep track of expenses incurred in buying toners and maintaining the office
printers and photocopiers within a 6 month period. The template must include relevant headings and
labels appropriate to the data to be entered (see sample below). The information later entered into the
spreadsheet will be converted into graphs/charts to be used to make informed decisions about how to
further improve processes and reduce costs. Also assign a member of your group as a person
responsible for monitoring, recording and reporting the outcomes. A copy of the blank template including
procedures on how to fill it with data must be submitted as part of the evidence.
