The work demonstrates a limited and/or substantially inaccurate or no understanding of key aspects of what constitutes a VUCA environment and how and where STL sits within it.
Examples of coherent and detailed knowledge around change and organisational development is missing. No consideration given to the importance of corporate strategy and/or tactical options available to STL. Recent research is missing to support work.
|
The work demonstrates insufficient understanding of key aspects of a VUCA environment and how and where STL sits within it. Some coherent and detailed knowledge around change and organisational development. Passing consideration given to the importance of corporate strategy and/or tactical options available to STL. Recent research is limited to support work.
|
The work demonstrates a basic yet systematic understanding of key aspects of a VUCA environment and how and where STL sits within it. Some coherent and detailed knowledge around change and organisational development with links to the importance of corporate strategy and/or tactical options available to STL. There is limited engagement with recent research to support work.
|
The work demonstrates a sound breadth and depth of systematic understanding of a VUCA environment and how and where STL sits within it. There is some coherent and detailed links with change and organisational development, as well as the impact these have on corporate strategy and/or tactical options available to STL. There is good engagement with recent research from a limited range of sources to support work.
|
The work demonstrates a sophisticated and critical systematic understanding of a VUCA environment and how and where STL sits within it. There are coherent and detailed links with change and organisational development. The impact on corporate strategy and/or tactical options available to STL well documented and supported overall by very good engagement with recent research from a good range of sources to support work.
|
The work demonstrates a highly accomplished systematic understanding of a VUCA environment and how and where STL sits within it. Excellent identification of change and organisational development, and demonstration of its impact on corporate strategy and/or tactical options available to STL, beyond what has been taught. The supported overall by very good engagement knowledge is supported by recent research from an excellent range of sources to support work.
|
The work demonstrates an exceptional systematic understanding of key aspects of a VUCA environment and how and STL sits within it. Outstanding identification of change and organisational development, and its impact on corporate strategy and/or tactical options available to STL. The work is coherent and detailed, demonstrating knowledge well beyond what has been taught, all of which is informed by recent research from an excellent range of sources to support work.

The work demonstrates a limited or no ability of analysis and enquiry.
Conceptual understanding of change management is limited thus the work does not:
- devise and sustain arguments how corporate strategy and/or tactical options available to STL are affected by the current VUCA environment.
- describe and comment upon aspects of current research and scholarship, with little or no appreciation of the uncertainty, ambiguity, and limits of knowledge;
- use relevant and appropriate sources resulting in few if any scholarly reviews.
|
The work demonstrates an insufficient ability of analysis and enquiry.
Conceptual understanding of change management is evident and enables the work to partially demonstrate:
- use of theory and corporate models to devise and sustain arguments, and solve problems around how corporate strategy and/or tactical options available to STL are affected by the current VUCA environment.
- the ability to describe and comment upon aspects of current research and scholarship, albeit with only a developing appreciation of the uncertainty, ambiguity, and limits of knowledge;
There is a limited range of independently selected relevant and appropriate scholarly sources.
