Unit 10: Project Development and Implementation for Strategic Managers

QCF Level: 7

Credit value: 20 credits

Aim

This unit provides learners with an opportunity to develop their project management and research skills by developing a project where they plan and implement a new product, service or process.

Unit abstract

As the rate of change escalates, it is important for organisations to not just hold their place in the market but to plan to move ahead. This unit recognises the importance to managers of having project management skills and the relevant expertise to enable this to happen.

The purpose of this unit is to give learners an opportunity to integrate all the knowledge from their programme of learning by developing a project in which they plan and implement a new product, service or process.

Learners need to take a full and active role in all aspects of the project, and the selection of an appropriate management issue is crucial to success. Learners will cover a full range of management activities and roles, including resource and people management and implementation of change. The result needs to be a substantial report in a style appropriate for consideration by senior management.
