Vocational Scenario, Activity and Guidance
You are required to prepare a 15-minute presentation that shows performance management techniques for continuous improvement. This will be followed with the creation of an individually created motivational strategy.
A motivational strategy is a plan that considers a range of financial and non-financial incentives, for both successful performance and to support unsuccessful performance.
Business activities
You will present your research to the potential client. The presentation should address the following areas:
• An introduction to motivational theories, including content and process, performance management and continuous improvement.
• Examples of the application of performance management approaches.
• Assessment of leadership and management approaches and theories, including their role in supporting performance.
• Recommendations of how the above could improve continuous improvement and performance.
You will produce an individual, comprehensive motivational strategy that considers both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation alongside social, cultural, and organisational variables. The strategy should be supported with appropriate literature.
It should be clear how the strategy supports the achievement of organisational objectives.
In the strategy, ensure that the link between the strategy and enhanced organisational performance is evident in relation to the chosen business.
