Essay STM5A5 – Improve the Sustainability Issue Identified – Management Assignment Help

Assignment Task

1. Brief overview of case

Start with a brief overview of the fictional company’s vision, aims and objectives and the identified challenge to address. Provide an overview of the case study companies researched, including their sustainability challenges presented as materiality matrices. This should be followed by your own fictional company’s sustainability challenges, and then identify the (ONE) most pressing of the challenges you aim to tackle. This should be summarised as a materiality chart (materiality matrix).

2. Strategic plan

Propose a strategic plan to improve the sustainability issue identified. Use a visual project chart and timeline (e.g. a Gantt chart) to briefly identify the milestones to be achieved. Do not overdo the number of milestones: this is an exercise, so two or three milestones are more than enough to demonstrate that you know how to apply the basic management tools used in a project. Remember to identify which TASKS will have to be accomplished to contribute to each of the identified milestone, how long and specifically when the overall project and each task take place. Justify the tasks identified using general management and sustainability concepts and tools (frameworks, models, metrics, procedures, etc. such as: SMART, or TROPICS, or a Sustainability model such as Silvius and Schipper’s, or The Phase Model by Dunphy, Griffiths and Benn, or any other model you like) that will be relevant to apply during the planning, implementation and monitoring of each task. Explain how the change will be monitored and evaluated: i.e. the list of the key performance indicators (KPIs) and other measures that will help check the progress of the overall sustainable strategy action plan.
