Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MSS408001 - Develop the competitive systems and practices approach

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Analyse organisation’s current competitive systems and practices approach

  1. Identify the organisation’s competitive advantages and weaknesses.
  2. Identify current sustainability (social, ecological and economic) profile.
  3. Determine current competitive systems and practices/proactive maintenance strategy and analyse for consistency of application across organisation.
  4. Compare the strategy to current competitive needs.
  5. Determine potential changes which might impact on competitive systems and practices strategy.
  6. Identify areas where improvement is necessary.
  7. Discuss potential improvement areas with relevant managers.
Identify the organisation’s competitive advantages and weaknesses.
