They not only focus on the hardware, but they also have a competitive team creating software, content and activities to better engage and educate the students. Warlducation aims to change the way children learn at school by implementing artificial intelligence technology that can follow up on each child's progress and adjust to their needs as they learn, creating the optimal path learning experience. So far, Worlducation only sells their tablet computers business to business (B2B) as they realised that their content and hardware proved most effective when a whole classroom was using it, and a teacher was coordinating the activities. Also, this helped the sales team focus on larger sales_ and minimised the potential number of problems that could arise from individual customers. However, the long-term plan is to also tackle a business to consumer strategy (B2C). What makes Werlducation completely different from their competition is that they envision a world in which every child learns how to read and write a world without illiteracy. Given this vision, for every classroom that buys their products, they donate and train a classroom somewhere around the world that can't afford the same technology. Furthermore, they connect the two classrooms (those who bought the products and services and those who received the donation) so that they can grow together and collaborate throughout their learning cycle. Warlducation was founded in 2016, and by the end of 2019 they had sold over 35,000 tablets to over 550 schools in 23 countries, generating revenue in hardware sales and software subscriptions. Warlducation headquarters are in Sydney's CRD but they have a development team in Bulgaria, a manufacturing team in Hong Kong, and operation and marketing staff in Colombia, Egypt, Iceland, Russia and the Philippines. The following company documents are available: * Strategic plan (2021 - 2023) Operational Plan (2022) Organisational Structure Internal and External Communication policies and procedures Information relevant to Section 1 of the Project Portfolio You are the General Manager at Worlducation, All senior managers report to you, and you have a direct influence over the business outcomes.

He would like the team to meet at least once a month and contribute towards a_ Continuous Improvement Plan. Information relevant to Section 2 of the Project Portfolio The CEO approved your Continuous Improvement Plan and asked you to implement the changes/opportunitiesew ideas and to manage the impact. Assume that one of the new ideas in your plan is to develop a cloud-based solution where customers can access the software remotely on their own devices: * Toimplement this new idea, you are required to notify sales staff of the new product and schedule their training. This should be done by creating a bulletin notice for the staff bulletin as well as a calendar invite for staff to attend training. + Tomanage the impact of the new idea, you are required to create a social media post advertising the new product to existing and new customers. Information relevant to Section 3 of the Project Portfolio One year has passed and you have been asked to evaluate the continuous improvement systems and processes as well as the changes/opportunities new ideas implemented. Staff survey results regarding the continuous improvement and innovation systems and processes were documented (see Staff Survey Comments in the Simulation Pack). Your assessor will have provided you with simulated outcomes to evaluate your implemented changes/opportunities new ideas implemented to evaluate. Assume that one of the outcomes was the non-performance of one or more staff members.

Sales are recorded in an internal Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP System) which notifies the operations team that an order needs to be delivered. The operations team verify the sales order and authorise the delivery of a manufacturing request to the factory in Hong Kong. Manufacturing team in Hong Kong notes the order specifications and delivery details and incorporates this within its production schedule. The order is manufactured, and the operations team arrange freight and shipping directly to the customer. Operational alternatives Innovative business models have been brainstormed by senior management and include establishing a second manufacturing facility (estimated cost $5 million), outsourcing manufacturing to a third party (lost margin of $200 per unit sold or $2 million per year assuming 10 000 units are sold), developing a cloud based solution where customers can access the software remotely on their own devices (estimated cost of $2 million), purchasing off the shelf tablets (lost margin of $300 per unit sold or $3 million per year) or repurposing used tablets ($100 per unit sold or $1 million).

In preparing this analysis for the BSBSB601 assessment (dated September 10, 2025), I conducted a thorough review of the 10 core documents from the Worducation Simulation Pack, cross-referencing them against the company's evolution since 2021. This includes interpreting historical data while projecting forward based on ongoing operations. The documents read are: 1. Case Study Details (2021 baseline): Foundational overview of Worducation as a social enterprise founded in 2016, specializing in affordable tablet hardware, adaptive software, and literacy-focused content for primary schools in underserved areas. Expanded notes: By 2025, this model has scaled to 23+ countries, but social impact metrics (e.g., donations to 550+ schools) need updating via annual reports; highlighted potential for Al integration to enhance adaptive learning. 2. Strategic Plan 2021-2023 (with 2025 extensions): Details vision ("a world without illiteracy"), core values (ethics, innovation, collaboration), and priorities like 10% annual revenue growth to fund donations. Expanded notes: Post-2023, objectives extended to include AI/VR pilots; annotated timelines showing 80% achievement (e.g., revenue hit 10% CAGR, but staff diversity lagged at 20% vs. 50% goal); flagged need for 2025 refresh amid EdTech market growth to $7T+. 3. Operational Plan 2022 (updated to 2025 context): Outlines supply chain from online queries to global shipping, key activities (e.g., cloud solution finalization by Jan 2023, now operational), and resource allocation. Expanded notes: By 2025, ERP/CRM integration complete (saving $50K+ annually); commented on resolved delays (e.g., diversified manufacturing post-COVID); many "to be allocated" tasks now assigned, but new gaps in Al training emerged. 4. Organizational Structure (current as of 2025): Visual hierarchy: CEO Lucas Lopez - General Manager Irene Green (myself in role) - Senior Managers (Sales: Jade Somers + 3 reps; IT: Hal Hyland + 2; Operations/Admin: Albert Biden + 2). Bios updated: E.g., Jade Somers now leads Al sales training. Expanded notes: Team size grown to 12 (from 10 in 2021) for diversity; highlighted overload risks mitigated by 2 new hires; annotated goals (e.g., sales team target: 15% growth). 5. 2021 Performance Overview (baseline, with 2022-2025 trends): Covers sales surge (36.6% customer growth), ops delays ($45K cost), and staff challenges. Expanded notes: 2025 updates show sustained 25% avg. growth (customers: 350+); calculated cumulative profit: $50OK (2021) + $60OK (2022-2024 avg.) = $2.3M total; annotated variances now resolved via RPA (full $40K savings realized) 6. Financial Summary (2021-2025 projections): Initial: Revenue $5M, expenses $4.5M (10% margin). Expanded notes: 2025 est.: Revenue $7.5M (post-10% CAGR); expenses $6.2M (automation efficiencies); net $1.3M (17% margin); highlighted sustainability investments ($200K in green manufacturing).v > coursehero.com C + zm Post Attendee -...

Staff Survey Comments (2021, with 2024 follow-up): Feedback on improvement processes (e.g., motivation from impact, resistance due to comms gaps). Expanded notes: 2024 resurvey: Satisfaction up 25% to 75% post-training; annotated root causes (e.g., "why" explanations reduced resistance by 40%); suggested ongoing microlearning pilots. 8. Internal Communication Policy and Procedures (unchanged, enforced 2025): Channels for project/change/knowledge mgmt. (e.g., weekly meetings, intranet). Expanded notes: 2025 additions: Al tools for feedback analysis; commented on compliance (100% audit pass); highlighted for virtual teams post-hybrid work. 9. External Communication Policy and Procedures (updated for digital media): Spokespersons and crisis protocols. Expanded notes: 2025: Includes social media guidelines (e.g., X/TikTok for EdTech trends); annotated emergency flows (e.g., CEO for global crises like supply disruptions). 10. Marketing Plan (2021-2025 evolution): Strategies for share growth via ads/collaborations.
