Referred assignment analysis and improvement plan

The Newly Appointed Manager: Leading Through Organisational Change

Participants take on the role of a newly promoted Operations Manager in a mid-sized cross-sector organisation undergoing a structural reorganisation. The scenario spans three interconnected challenges: navigating a governance review that redefines their authority and accountability, managing a hybrid team with mixed maturity levels and low trust following a leadership change, and communicating a sensitive operational decision to a large and dispersed audience. Participants must apply the organisational context, leadership style, and communication frameworks covered across the programme to make and justify their decisions in real time.

Working in small online groups, participants move through three simulation rounds, each requiring a written or verbal management response that mirrors the analytical depth of a CMI Level 5 assignment. In Round 1, they map the organisation's governance structure and identify how it constrains their decision-making authority. In Round 2, they diagnose team maturity levels and select a situational leadership approach, justifying it using Hersey and Blanchard or Goleman's frameworks. In Round 3, they design a trust-building action plan using the Blanchard ABCD model and select the appropriate communication channel for the sensitive announcement. The facilitator debriefs each round against Unit 501 learning outcomes, and participants leave with a simulation evidence log usable in their written assignment.

AI-Assisted Management Writing and Reflective Practice Toolkit

Participants work in a structured online environment where they use AI writing tools, including ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, to support the drafting, analysis, and refinement of management writing at CMI Level 5 standard. The sandbox is built around four practical stations: generating a first draft paragraph from a command verb prompt, critiquing AI output for analytical depth and referencing quality, using AI to map leadership theories to a workplace scenario, and producing a structured reflective journal entry grounded in the day's learning. Each station is time boxed and facilitated, so participants experience AI as a thinking partner rather than a shortcut.

Participants use generative AI to accelerate the evidence gathering and drafting stages of their written assignment while maintaining full compliance with CMI's Assessment Policy requirements on academic integrity. They learn to critically review, refine, and fact-check AI-generated content, and to cite AI tools correctly in their assignment references. The sandbox also includes an automated self assessment tool that maps each participant's draft paragraphs to the relevant Unit 501 assessment criteria, flagging gaps in command verb compliance or evidence depth. Governance guardrails are built into every station: participants sign a digital academic integrity agreement before the session begins, and the facilitator reviews all AI assisted outputs before they are added to the personal evidence log.
