Project Overview
The assessment is divided into four parts: 1. Assess the Individual and Team Critical and Creative Thinking Skills 2. Establish an Environment that Supports Critical and Creative Thinking 3. Facilitate Opportunities for Application of Critical and Creative Thinking 4. Improve Critical and Creative Thinking Practices This assessment includes detailed scenarios and simulated environments, providing all necessary information required to complete relevant tasks and activities, based on the simulated business, Bounce Fitness <http://bouncefitness.precisiongroup.com.au/>. This will not require you to access a real workplace, however, some tasks to be completed are similar to those typically done in a real workplace. |
Part 1. Assess the Individual and Team Critical and Creative Thinking Skills
Task Overview |
This part of the project requires you to identify knowledge gaps within teams and individuals and facilitate learning opportunities to address these gaps. Specifically, you are required to:
a. At least four volunteers to participate in assessment activities, including:
Resources required will depend on the specific learning opportunities identified
|
Part 1 Case Study Overview
Welcome to Bounce Fitness |
You are the centre manager for Bounce Fitness Cairns. There are two teams of fitness trainers that directly report to you, Team A and Team B, with two members in each team. As the centre manager, you are in charge of overseeing this branch’s performance, including the performance of all its employees. Fitness trainers of Team A handle one-on-one classes with their clients. The special feature of these classes is that each training plan is catered specifically to each client’s needs and capabilities. These trainers are in charge of creating training plans that are appropriate for each of their clients. They also keep track of their clients’ fitness records which helps them adjust training plans depending on their clients’ progress. Fitness trainers of Team B handle the different fitness classes that Bounce Fitness. Each class has an attendance of 10 to 25 clients. As part of handling group classes, Team B fitness trainers must be knowledgeable on proper exercise and nutrition should their clients ask them for advice. To help improve your employees’ performance, you decide to see how well members of each team know their tasks. Based on your findings, you intend to organise learning opportunities to help the fitness trainers perform better. |

Part 2. Establish an Environment That Supports Critical and Creative Thinking
Task Overview |
This part of the project requires you to establish an environment that support critical and creative thinking. Specifically, you are required to:
a. Organisational documents relevant to: |
Part 2 Case Study Overview
Bounce Fitness Systems |
You’ve reviewed that the task of each team allows them to practice their critical and creative thinking skills. You want to ensure that these skills are supported by the current systems Bounce Fitness has in place. You are aware that most of Bounce Fitness’s systems have not been reviewed or updated for a while now. You decide that this would be a good time to look over the systems and check for necessary changes or updates to make to improve Bounce Fitness’s processes. You choose two systems to review that would be applicable to both your teams: The first system is the Performance Management System. Bounce Fitness’ performance management system puts into place an annual review for all employees. The organisation uses a forced ranking system for its employees. In this system, there is a set percentage that tells how many employees can be classified for each group. Each employee’s performance is reviewed against their key performance indicators (KPIs). These KPI differ per employee, depending on their role and responsibilities. The second system is the Customer Relations Management System. This system contains a process to handle client complaints. Clients are encouraged to fill out a complaint form for documentation. These forms are then forwarded to the concerned department to be resolved. If clients are becoming emotional enough that they might be disrupting others, employees may offer the client with a $10.00 gift card to Bounce Fitness services as an apology for the inconvenience. Bounce Fitness employees are also encouraged to recommend the product or service of the month to their clients. This is to introduce them to new products and services that the clients might be interested in. |
Task 2.1 Analyse Organisational Systems
SIMULATED ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS |
https://bouncefitness.precisiongroup.com.au/infrastructure/business-strategy-and-planning-documents/
i. Identify at least one relevant business objective for each of the following Bounce Fitness Systems: |
iv. Identify either gaps or barriers in each system based on your analyses of each system: 1. If you identify barriers, identify at least two barriers for each system analysed: Barriers are anything that hinders employees from exercising critical or creative thinking methods. 1. At least one barrier to critical thinking methods Critical Thinking methods focus on analysing options and ideas, synthesising existing information, and making judgements on the value of something. 2. At least one barrier to creative thinking methods Creative Thinking methods focus on generating ideas, considering alternative options of actions and assessing actions 2. If you identify gaps, identify at least two gaps to critical thinking methods for each system analysed Gaps refer to something that is missing from the processes that prevents employees from fully practicing critical thinking methods. v. Identify at least two resources used to implement each Bounce Fitness system. Responses in this task will be used for Task 2.2.

Part 3 Case Study Overview
Workplace Problems |
In the past few days, you have noticed the following workplace problems happening in your branch of Bounce Fitness, Bounce Fitness Cairns: Impatient Clients One of your personal fitness trainer’s clients has expressed their lack of interest in the current exercises they are performing because they are not seeing immediate weight loss results. They have requested that their personal fitness trainer change some of the exercises that is currently part of his training plan. The fitness trainer has approached you and the rest of Team A for help as this is the third time the client has asked that their training plan be changed. The other members of Team A have also experienced clients who become impatient when they do not see immediate results. Trendy Classes You notice that there are less clients attending the different in-house group classes offered by Bounce Fitness. The current classes being offered are aerobic classes, circuit classes, and dance classes. These classes have been offered to clients for more than a year now. When you asked one of the Team B fitness instructors to ask their clients, the response they received was that it might be because the classes were not ‘trendy’ enough. You realise that now would be a good time to introduce a new class to your clients. |
