Students are to choose either: Conflict and Negotiation, or Empathy and Trust, or Teams and Groups. During the Saturday workshops, diagnostic tools and mini-simulation activities will be undertaken for each topic that serve as the experiential basis for individual reflection about current practice. These are compulsory activities for students enrolled in the on campus delivery mode. Students who do not attend and participate in these activities will be deemed not to have completed this component of the assessment task and will receive a penalty.

Online students are provided with alternative experiential activities. Students are then to prepare a literature review about the chosen topic that defines the key terms and outlines key theories or models and application (1000 words Approx). Students must utilise at least three (3) of the diagnostic tools undertaken during the workshops (such as the Johari Window, Thomas Khilman Conflict Questionnaire, The Big 5, ESCI, Belbin Team Inventory etc.) that provide insights into current capabilities or preferences.
