Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to lead the deployment of sustainability strategy using a devolved cascading approach.Strategy deployment within this unit draws from the Lean practice of ‘hoshin kanri’ and aims to ensure strong alignment of strategies, objectives and activities across functions and levels of an organisation, a section of an organisation or part of the value chain. This unit applies to middle or senior managers, leaders or similar roles who have the authority and responsibility to guide and assist others to contribute to achieving strategic goals. The individual will liaise with the leadership team and other stakeholders to develop the sustainability strategy, plan the alignment and integration of sustainability improvements across the organisation and oversee the implementation of improvement projects. This unit applies to any organisation. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
