NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the revision and rollover, and review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published September 2012
Planned review date December 2017
Summary
The review of the unit standards in domains Business Culture and Environment (BCE) and Organisational Direction and Strategy (ODS) is part of the Strategic Business Review, which aims to achieve “a coherent network of unit standards for field Business that is current, fit-for-purpose, and responsive to the changing needs of New Zealand business, businesses, and business people”.
Stakeholders, including all Industry Training Organisations that have qualifications in which the unit standard(s) are listed; all providers with consent to assess against the PDC unit standards; peak bodies; government agencies, and individual people who expressed an interest, were contacted and invited to participate in the review. As a result, a representative review panel was established, including the National Moderator, which met between July 2011 and January 2012. The panel was supported by an extensive e-mail network that provided feedback throughout the review. Further consultation took place via the NZQA website in March 2012.
Strategic Business Review research was used to inform changes made at this review. As a result, the unit standards have been simplified and made more flexible, to be more relevant to a wider range of assessment contexts, including small businesses. There is greater scope for recognition of current competence (RCC) and for assessment in candidates' own contexts, including workplaces. These unit standards reflect the realities of such assessment contexts where, for example, detailed evidence of preparation and planning is not always available. These unit standards focus more explicitly on the actual achievement of the intended outcome, rather than on the process (including planning) used to achieve it therefore placing greater reliance on the organisational requirements of the specific context and the NZQF level descriptors as criteria for assessment.
Unit standards 18509 and 25778 were excluded from this review, pending review by risk management specialists. 26255 was excluded because of its recent review as part of the marketing review. Unit standards 7453, 16342, and 19020 were included in this review, at the request of the recent Systems and Resources Management review panel.
The review resulted in some unit standards being revised and rolled over, and some being reviewed. This report is structured to reflect these two different outcomes.
