Assignment Guidelines  All work must be submitted in a single electronic document (.doc file). This  should go to the tutor and Centre Manager/Programme Director, plus one hard  copy posted to the Centre Manager.     The assignment must be the Learner’s own work and not copies of theories or  models. Direct quotes should be kept to a minimum, and shown in inverted  commas. Models described and other quotes used must be properly attributed  and referenced as appropriate. Learners must acknowledge or reference any  sources that have been used to complete the assignment, listing reference  material and web sites used.     Learners are encouraged to produce a reflective statement of no more than 300  words (which does not count towards the final word count), describing the value  and knowledge gained from undertaking this assignment. The reflective  statement is not assessed; however it encourages you to review the value and  application of your learning.    Overall word count guide: 2500 - 4500    Plagiarism and Collusion  In submitting the assignment Learner’s must complete a statement of  authenticity confirming that the work submitted for all tasks is their own. The  statement should also include the word count.  Plagiarism and collusion are treated very seriously. Plagiarism involves presenting  work, excerpts, ideas or passages of another author without appropriate  referencing and attribution. Collusion occurs when two or more learners submit  work which is so alike in ideas, content, wording and/or structure that the  similarity goes beyond what might have been mere coincidence.   Appendices   Separate Appendices should not be used. Any use of tables, graphs, diagrams,  Gantt chart and flowcharts etc. that support the main report should be  incorporated into the back of the  assignment report that is submitted.

Learners  must comply with the required word count, within a margin of +10%.These rules  exclude the index (if used), headings and information contained within references  and bibliographies. When an assessment task requires learners to produce  presentation slides with supporting notes, the word count applies to the  supporting notes only.   Referencing and Professionalism   A professional approach to work is expected from all learners. Learners must  therefore identify and acknowledge ALL sources/methodologies/applications used.  The learner must use an appropriate referencing system to achieve this. Marks  are not awarded for the use of English; however the learner must express ideas  Assignment Brief - Unit 702 Managing Team Performance to Support Strategy       Page 5 of 5  clearly and ensure that appropriate terminology is used to convey accuracy in  meaning.

Task 1
1.1
In an organization, there is a link between the strategic objective of the organization and the team performance to achieve that objective. Lyubovnikova et al. have discussed that the fundamental aim of the strategic management of the organization is to make the strategic framework that will make sure that the organization has competent and skilled workforce. These workforce must be motivated and they all must work together to achieve the organizational objective.
The strategic management will further look after the fact that the individual as well as the collective needs of the organization are met as that will ensure that the workforce motivation remain sustained, even in the turbulent situation. Hughes et al. have further added that team performance can be described as the involvement of the employees and the involvement in the development of a number of interrelated processes that takes place in the organization, which will have an impact on the productivity, quality, the customer service, profit, and growth, which will lead to the increased shareholders value.
The team performance is achieved by enhancing the skills of the employees and further engaging them with their enthusiasm as to achieve the goals. The progress of the employees must be measured on a constant basis and development of their capacities through the process of learning is done, as that will put emphasis on the self-management capabilities and the team capabilities as to support the improvement of the performance and increase the potential of the organization.
Luthans and Doh have further discussed that the performance along with the operational and the management of the people is aligned with the organizational objective. This is necessary, as this will build trust, enthusiasm and commitment of the employees towards achieving the organizational goals. Further, the organization makes sure that the fair treatment is given to everyone, that builds the trust, and acts as a motivation o serve the organization. This increases the more involvement in the teamwork and the team performance is improved.
1.2
The team performance in the organization is involved with a number of interrelated processes that have an impact over the performance of the organization. Ahmed has discussed that performance of the organization will be judged by the improvement in productivity, quality and the level of customer satisfaction along with growth, profits and the delivery of the increased shareholders value. This can be achieved through the enhancement of the skills of the employees while increasing their enthusiasm. The work of leaders is to provide vision and benchmarking as to create a sense of momentum.
To improve the team performance target there are a number of tools and techniques that can be used. Hatt et al. have discussed that there are certain performance measures that can be used as to measure the team performance. At first the effectiveness is measured, which the degree of output given by the employee. The next part is the measurement of the efficiency, which is the amount of process produced at the minimum resource cost. The third part is the quality, which the extent, to which the customer’s requirements and the expectation is met.
The fourth measure is to measure the timeliness as what is the time taken to complete and meet the customer requirements. The fifth part is the productivity, which is measured by the value of the labour, and the capital invested. Moreover, the last part is the safety measure, which determines the overall working environment of the organization and the amount of safety measures taken.
However, there are certain tools, which are also used for the performance increase in the employees. Gonzalez-Mule et al. have discussed that the most common tools that are used to set the team performance targets are the measurement of key performance indicators, performance appraisal, 360-degree feedback, management by objective, performance management frameworks, rewards and recognition system and the personal development plans. These tools will immensely help in improving the team performance in meeting the targets.
1.3
The tools and techniques that are used to improve the performance of the team are further used to analyse the future prospect of performance improvement. Rego et al. that this kind of assessment will help the individuals in the team to analyse the requirements and the improvements they need to do to achieve the team performance. There are seven steps, through which the measure of the performance can be done. Bracco et al. have discussed the seven steps of measuring the performance.
The first step is to review the present organizational measures. It need to be ensured that the measures above and around the team must be known and they must be linked with the team’s measure.
The second step is to define what is going to be measured and with that, the selection of best alternative is done and the identification of the team’s key accomplishments is done, which will provide the basis for further measurement.
The third part is the identification of the team member’s accomplishments that supports the overall team performance. The identification of the individual member’s performance will help in forming the team strategy.
The fourth step is to analyse the accomplishment and have a discussion with the team members on the importance of the accomplishments.
The fifth stage is the development of the individual as well as the team performance measures. This will help in gauging the results achieved by the team members.
The sixth stage is the development of the team and individual performance standard and based on that the individual and team’s expectation can be measured.
The seventh step is to track the performance and that through the each performance standard as to provide appropriate feedback.
With these mentioned seven points, the performance of the team and the manner, in which the customer satisfaction requirement can be met, will be judged. Based on the analysis the required strategies will be formed for the team. This will help the team in making improvements in specific measurable goals, and the measurement points should be determined as to the amount of value addition need to be done to improve the team performance further. 
Task 2
2.1
In a team of members, it is always necessary to analyse and determine the required performance or target with the current team performance. Sarmento et al. have discussed that the performance measurement is mainly done to manage the outcome, as the main purpose is to reduce the overall variation in the work. This is the process, through which the decision can be made with respect to the actions that is affecting the product or process and their outputs. The performance measure has a great significance.
Thompson et al. have discussed that with the help of performance measurement, it quantitatively tell us very much important about the products, services and the processes that is used to produce the product and services in the company. This can be used as a tool that will help understand, manage and improve the organizational operation. There are few benefits,
