Academic Integrity:
Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means
acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
As a student, you are required to:
• Undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity
• Ensure that academic work is in no way falsified
• Seek permission to use the work of others, where required
• Acknowledge the work of others appropriately
• Take reasonable steps to ensure other students cannot copy or misuse your work.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them
and to pass them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This
includes material sourced from the Internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published
and unpublished work.
Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being
used, which includes:
Paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference
Copying work either in whole or in part
Presenting designs, codes or images as your own work
Using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the
author or web page
Reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.
Collusion:
Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical)
with other people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the
work of someone else.
Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or student’s external to the
RTO. This applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or
overseas.
Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
• Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
• Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
• Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)
• Write or edit work for another student

integrity, plagiarism and collusion.
Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against
students who engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTO’s policy.

This year a number of exciting new projects will be launched to add to the company’s
offerings.
As a result of the new projects, you have recently been appointed as the new Program
Manager and part of your role is to implement and manage a new benefits management
approach. This approach has been adopted as it is considered to be fundamental to
effective program and project management. The approach involves identifying, planning,
measuring and tracking benefits from the start of the program until realisation of the last
projected benefit and aims to ensure that that the desired benefits are specific, measurable,
agreed, realistic and time bounded.
The new projects that will contribute to the overall project are as follows:
Leadership Conference
An annual conference focusing on leadership will be organised. The conference will be a
one day event attracting high level speakers and participants. This year it will take place
in Sydney but in subsequent years it will be held in other capital cities. Dan Streep, the
Administration Manager has been allocated responsibility for organising the Conference.
Professional development workshops
A series of professional development workshops will be organised focussing on aspects
of leading and managing staff. These will be short topic based workshops (e.g.
Emotional Intelligence for Leaders) conducted 4 times a year in all major cities i.e.
Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. They will run for 3 hours and also offer an opportunity
for networking. The Operations Manager, Donna Chisholm will be responsible for
organising and developing all the workshops.
The workshops are intended to be principle means of advertising for the company’s
consultancy services, where most of Grow Management Consultant’s income is
generated. The senior consultants run the workshops. They, and their assistants (who
also work as consultants), then use the contacts generated there to get commissions to
carry out management-level assessments and projects for the company. Donna co-

As a first step you have been asked to develop a Program Benefits Management Report with
the purpose of identifying benefits and trade-offs (also known as disbenefits). Your report will
then be discussed at a meeting with each of the newly appointed project managers as per
the scenario information provided.
The objective of the meeting will be to define program benefits and to agree on the overall
benefits delivery approach, as well as responsibilities. The report you develop will therefore
inform project managers such that they can contribute towards and agree on benefits
management.
Begin by reviewing the company’s Strategic Plan and the scenario information. You should
also review the data provided to you regarding the eBook. This initial data (finances report
and overall project report) will also assist in identifying benefits and trade-offs for all projects.

|RTO NO: 41338 | CRICOS Provider Code: 03449J
Use the Program Benefits Management Report Template to guide your work.
You will be modifying your report following a meeting with the Project Managers, so save this
version of the document as Draft Program Benefits Management Report.
At the meeting and once you have gone through your report:
Ask for feedback on the benefits you have identified.
Agree on program benefits and the program benefits delivery approach,
including how benefits will be measured.
Discuss program benefit interdependencies and how to manage these.
Assign benefits to each manager and have each manager accept this.

including:
Speaking clearly and concisely
Using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
Asking questions to identify required information
Responding to questions as required
Using active listening techniques to confirm understanding
Negotiate changes to your strategy
