Group work:
You are required to form a group of three (3) for Assignment 2. This reflects one of Deakin Universitys
Graduate Learning Outcomes of Teamwork. Sometimes, when completing group assignments, you may run
into problems with group members. These problems may result from different levels of experiences,
expectations and attitudes to work, or other commitments that group members have, etc. It is strongly
recommended that the group contribute to and agree to a team charter to address issues/contingencies as
they arise. The Unit Team expects that all group members will contribute equally to all assignments; in your
third year of study, everyone should expect and display total commitment to your study.
Pre-work
The key to a great group outcome in this setting (tertiary education) is to engage your prospective team
members in early discussion about expectations, constraints and contingencies. When choosing a team
consider whether you have appropriate diversity in your team as this will add to the depth and richness of
your discussions and increase your learning. The more informed everyone is the better the selection
process. If you have worked with others in the cohort before and know their standard of work and level of
communication, you should proceed. If you dont, then perhaps set a small task with a deadline to assess
integrity (they do what they say they are going to do) and ask to review a sample of previous work (no
surprises then down the track) for transparency. The more your expectations can be thrashed out in the
earlier stages, the easier it may be to work through competing deadlines and challenges as this submission
deadline comes closer.
Enrolling in your group
Once you have worked out your team members, please enrol into a group, using the Groups function
under Tools in the MMH356 main toolbar. Students are required to self-select into teams of three. On
the odd occasion, a group may have a reduced membership of two (the numbers just fall that way), or
groups may experience an issue which is better addressed by removing one group member but there
will be no change to the assignment brief. If a group has not been formed by a date to be advised, the
Unit Chair will allocate remaining students into a group and post group membership in a News Item.
Working on your group assignment
Identify the best platform on which to collaborate on such as Microsoft tools Office 365, OneDrive and
Teams. Exchange a range of contact options with each other to stay in touch regularly its not only a
common courtesy but also reassures everyone is working to the benchmarks set. Keep in mind the line
that separates collaboration with collusion. Do NOT use assignments from previous trimesters as a
reference because the assignment brief will be different. If you need some support, seek help from
library staff, or the Unit Chair.

Countdown to the deadline
Once formed, if group members run into problems or believe that a group member is underperforming, not
responding to messages, or has not made an equal contribution, advise the Unit Chair as soon as possible
(which doesnt mean the day before the due deadline!!). This will enable the UC to take appropriate steps
to ensure the problem does not continue. Some remedies include the Unit Chair contacting and counselling
the underperforming group member (first and preferred approach), and/or potentially applying a reduction
in marks to the group member based on their reduced contribution (via a combined group members peer
review/unit chair moderation).
Assignment task:
Locate and read the Dan Murphys (DM) case study, in the Assignment 2 folder.
Noting the past events surrounding and contributing to DMs situation, you have now been appointed by
DM as a change management team to complete the following tasks:
1) Identify a significant change initiative in the Darwin region that will enable DM to regain the trust of
its shareholders, employees and most importantly, the public (this can be any pro-active change
and does not have to relate to the liquor licence scenario outlined in the Dan Murphys case study).
In providing a rationale for this initiative, you must clearly explain why the change initiative has
been chosen and what the outcome will be once the initiative has been successfully implemented
(ie. what value will be generated).
2) A successful change implementation can only be achieved if those parties impacted by the change
(ie. stakeholders) are convinced that the change is worthwhile and that the resultant benefits
outweigh the costs involved. In relation to the change selected, you must clearly state who the
stakeholders are (remembering that these stakeholders may not have been present in the liquor
licence scenario detailed in the Dan Murphys case study), how they are impacted and what their
level of interest, power and influence is. (Tip: The stakeholder grid was covered in the unit and
remember that stakeholders could comprise individuals and/or teams).
3) The successful implementation of your change initiative is a critical undertaking for DM and
therefore;
a. DM has stipulated that you must utilize the PROSCI ADKAR methodology to guide your
implementation project. Drawing from the unit content and further research, you must
explain and apply each phase of the methodology in detail.
b. Within the above discussion, how will you know the outcome of each phase has been
achieved in relation to the three major stakeholders?
(N.B The ADKAR model stipulates that you cannot move to a subsequent phase until the outcome relating to
the previous phase has been achieved).

ASSIGNMENT RESULTS
Your report results, rubric scores and feedback will normally become available in the Assignment Folder
in CloudDeakin within 15 business days of the due date. If you have been granted an extension for the
assignment, your score and feedback may be released later than for ontime submissions. Before results
are returned to students, the unit team will moderate the marking process to ensure that the same
marking standards are applied to all students within the unit and to check all assignments for plagiarism
using Turnitin software. Marking penalties will be applied to reports which contain evidence of
plagiarism, collusion or other forms of cheating.
If any student believes an error has been made in the marking of their assignment and wishes to request
a review, they must:
(1) email the Unit Chair (mike.[email protected]), from their Deakin email account, within

(ii) identify the specific rubric criterion involved;
(iii) explain why their work should have received a higher score for that criterion; and
(iv) support their claim by referring to specific evidence from their assignment. Receiving a
disappointing result is not a justification for review.
In the rare case of a review being granted, the reviewed score will be final. That score may
increase, decrease or remain unchanged from the original.
