Assessment 2: PART B
1. Now that the emergency has been contained, describe the process you will follow to investigate what happened
· Observe the scene: Check the damages that resulted from the fire and look for witnesses in preparation to determine the root cause of the fire. Also check for flammable devices in the building. These may include gas canisters and electrical equipment that could have exploded.
· Assess the scene: This step involves finding the staff with information on the company’s safety and integrity issues. Additional information on the scene and its condition is also necessary before proceeding with the investigation. Investigation involves interviewing of witnesses to know who was present when the fire broke out, the time when fire started, and events that took place during the incident.
· Documenting the scene: It entails writing notes, taking pictures, and recording videos of the scene. Documentation helps to capture the original state of the scene so investigation is not interfered with in case evidence is moved or interfered with.
· Processing the evidence: This involves physically sifting through the scene to identify, gather, and preserve relevant evidence such as matches, explosives, and any other devices that may be linked to the origin of the fire.
· Completing investigation: The scene should be released now and the report be submitted to the proper database.

Assessment 3: Part A
Change Management Plan
Objectives of the Changes
· To make green-thinking part of the culture of the company
· To create a green vision and establish a clear approach for achieving the goals
· To develop the green measures for achieving sustainability
· To introduce employees to digital communication techniques
· To strengthen the corporate image through green branding
Analysis of Change Objectives
The change is intended to promote the use of environmentally friendly cleaning agents. With this change, All Clean will stop using the highly flammable cleaning chemicals that caused the previous fire incident. However, more effort placed on staff health and safety because the traditional consumable items used for cleaning can harm cleaners through skin contact and when inhaled. All Clean should as well be ready to modify its processes, conduct adequate staff training, and raise the money to purchase the necessary products and equipment.
Clean and Green Sustainability Measures
· Social principles – respect and safety of employees and customers
· Environmental principles - time saving, no pollution, reduced energy costs
· Economic principles – growth of sales, stable income, and profitability
Required Resources
· Process modification
· Staff training programs
· Purchase of specialized products and equipment
Human Implications of the Initiative
Staff training must be conducted to help employees understand how to use the new products and equipment appropriately.
How the Measures meet Organisational and Legal Requirements
The measures match company and legal policies that promote energy/resources conservation and reduction of pollution.
Risks
· High costs – environmentally friendly cleaning products have high up-front costs
· Loss of current suppliers – when All Clean goes green, the company will have to find vendors that sell green cleaning products and equipment. They may have to find new suppliers
· Time – ‘Go Green and Clean’ initiative may be easy to plan but its implementation throughout the organisation will take time
Comparing the Changes Measures to All Clean’s identified Risks
These measures involve the elimination of the highly combustible cleaning chemicals and solutions that the company used, and which are linked to the fire incident. The implementation of the Go Green and Clean program is, thus, a move towards avoiding reoccurrence of the fire incident.
Comparing the Change to Global Trends
In today’s global market, being green catalyses innovation, creation of wealth, and opens new market opportunities for doing business.
Recommended Change Management Strategies
· Careful planning – a clear plan showing how, why, and when change will be implemented is necessary
· Encourage communication and sharing of ideas between management and employees
· Develop a clear roadmap to help staff understand where All Clean is and where it is headed
· Offer comprehensive training to enable staff master the new ways of completing the cleaning tasks
· Roll out the changes slowly, to help employees adjust effectively
· Monitor and measure the progress of the initiative to identify issues and resolve them in a timely manner
Importance of a Communication Plan
The plan will enable identification of stakeholders that should know about the project, the time and frequency of updates, and the personnel that will perform the distribution of information
Communication Modes
· Presentations
· Emails
· Training notes
How to involve All Clean Staff
· Create continuous improvement teams
· Implement problem-solving efforts for labour management
· Use systems for structured suggestion
Assigning Roles and Responsibilities to Staff
· Management should understand the strengths and weaknesses of every employee, and match them with what needs to be done
· Meet regularly with staff to discuss their priorities and long-term goals
· Indicate the goals of every role or responsibility assigned to the staff
How to empower Teams during Change
· Seek input, ideas, and insights from the teams
· Give positive feedback
· Provide opportunities for capacity improvement to all team members
· Promote open communication
· Show team members that you trust them
Maintaining a Positive Work Environment
· Emphasise onboarding and training
· Assist the employees in creating a comfortable environment of work
· Promote collaboration and communication among team members
· Develop learning opportunities
Staff Contribution towards Innovation of Change
· Include innovation among All Clean’s core values

Assessment 3: Part B
Reflective Journal
My Role
As the Operations Manager, I decided the processes and practices that all groups and individuals needed to take to ensure that “Go Green and Clean” initiative worked in every department of the organisation. I formulated the strategy, recommended performance improvement models, and procured the necessary resources and materials. In all these, I ensured that group and individual practices complied with the relevant legislations and policies.
Key Aspects
Role modelling: Key aspects included acceptance of others, clear definition of values, ability to inspire, and determination to overcome obstacles.
Effective communication: Questioning and listening while others explain their ideas, incorporation of participatory style of management, honesty, and application of available technology.
Consultation process: Taking note of priority issues, performing stakeholder analysis, developing a consultation plan, distribution of information in advance, and provision of feedback and outcomes.
Workplace culture
To improve our organisation’s culture, I implemented several strategies. They include granting teams’ autonomy, creating strong employee relationships, frequently recognising employees that perform well, aligning people’s practices to change purpose, encouraging communication, and giving employees positive experiences.
Global Environment and New Technology
When implementing the change, I understood that several other companies within our industry were doing the same. I, therefore, had to ensure that the process went through successfully and that the outcome had the potential of being even better than some of our competitors. Application of the latest technology proved essential to communication, training, and development of tools for change strategy management.
As a Leader in a Consultation and Decision-making Process
When holding a consultation leadership role, I allowed key individuals to share their thoughts about the most effective ways of solving problems and encouraged them to decide the choice they believed would best solve the issues. This practice facilitated collaboration during risk analysis and mediation, ensured solutions were found on time, and enabled solution of all the identified issues.
As a leader in decision-making process, I focused on identification of outcomes and recognition of factors that may affect it. This enabled identification of risks and establishment of risk management strategy beforehand. By solving potential challenges, no delays would happen to the set timeframes and most of the associated issues would be solved on time.
Building Trust and Support
To build trust, I emphasised honesty and would admit if I did not understand a process, idea, or strategy. I also encouraged transparency and showed my colleagues and superiors how to go about it. Again, I would provide networking opportunities for team members to speak about their capabilities, and I identified areas where they needed support to improve.
Assigning Accountabilities and Responsibilities
· To participate in meetings by raising concerns and offering suggestions for improvement
· To maintain the highest-standard of professionalism as All Clean representatives before clients and stakeholders
Resourcing Plan
Project implementation plan as it identified the physical resources (labour, materials, equipment, etc.) that the organisation had to acquire for successful completion of the project.
Strategies for:
Team empowerment: Availing the necessary resources, acceptance of ideas and inputs, sharing the company’s vision, setting clear expectations, recognition of employees’ hard work, and offering constructive feedback.
Positive work environment: Making on-boarding and training, promoting team collaboration and communication, and availing learning and career development opportunities,
Innovation: The organisation should embrace brainstorming, and encourage good relationships between management and employees.
