Explanatory notes
1 Unit standards in the Organisational Direction and Strategy domain are about analysing influences, determining strategies for an envisioned future, and enabling the alignment of the organisation to achieve that future.
2 Assessment against this unit standard must be based on a real organisation.
3 The assessment context for this unit standard must be suitable to meet the criteria for level 5 in the NZQF Level Descriptors, which are available C:\Users\David Duthie\AppData\Local\Temp\SRM SBReview 2010-1\Compliance drafts\by searching for “level descriptors” at www.nzqa.govt.nz.
4 Definitions
Organisation refers to a specific entity which may be – in private, public, or community and volunteer sectors; a business, a discretely managed unit within a larger entity, a Māori organisation, or a special-purpose body.
An influence is an issue, an organisation, people, a change, or an event that has a potential impact on an organisation. For this unit standard, the following eleven types of influences apply:
- skills, staff, structure, systems, shared values (internal to the organisation);
- political, economic, social, technological, legal, environmental (external to the organisation).
An impact is the current effect(s) of the influence on the organisation.
A consequence is the future change(s) for the organisation as a result of the impact.

Assessment Task: Analyse the impact(s) of influences and assess their consequences for an organisation.
Outcome 1 : ER 1.1 – 1.2
Instructions to candidate
You must conduct an analysis for at least two impacts of influences and assess each of the two impacts for their consequences for a specified real organisation.
Impacts are: (impacts must include some opportunities and some risks for the organisation, but not necessarily for each impact.)
the current effect(s) of the influence on the organisation.
Consequences are:
the future change(s) for the organisation as a result of the impact.
Influences are: (At least eleven influences must be given, including at least one form each type)
an issue, an organisation, people, a change, or an event that has a potential impact on an organisation.

private, public, or community and volunteer sectors; a business, a discretely managed unit within a larger entity, a Māori organisation, or a special-purpose body. (Explanatory note 4)

1. Analyse at least two impacts of each of the eleven influences as they apply to the organisation. (ER 1.1)
Your answer must include each of the following:
Internal - skills, staff, structure, systems, shared values (total of two impacts for each)
External - political, economic, social, technological, legal, environmental. (total of two impacts for each)
