Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge to develop concepts for arts organisations or for specific arts projects. It includes the need for concept generation, communication and consultation on the concept, and development of the concept to a pre-operational stage. Concepts may be required for a wide range of purposes including programs, events, exhibitions or administrative structures. This work would usually be carried out autonomously and may include responsibility for others.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Clarify context for the concept.
- 1.1 Investigate and clarify the overall purpose for the concept.1.2 Investigate and clarify initial possibilities for realising the concept.1.3 Refine and clarify the key objectives for the concept in consultation with relevant colleagues and stakeholders.
2 Generate concept.
- 2.1 Generate a range of different, innovative and creative approaches for the concept.2.2 Review different approaches for technical feasibility, innovation, creativity and acceptance to client/audience.2.3 Identify potential constraints and access their impact on the concept. 2.4 Take account of social, ethical and environmental impacts in generating the concept.
- 2.5 Select possible approaches that meet the key objectives, and draft proposals in an appropriate format.
3 Consult on concept.
- 3.1 Identify key stakeholders with whom consultations should be held, including the need for expert advice.3.2 Develop and implement an appropriate consultation strategy.3.3 Establish commitment and support for the proposed concept.
4 Adjust and refine concept.
- 4.1 Determine advantages and disadvantages of different approaches based on consultation, creativity and operational feasibility.4.2 Evaluate concept and select final approach to meet the desired outcome.
5 Develop concept to pre-operational stage.
- 5.1 Develop specifications or initial plans for the implementation of the concept, including information on resources, technical and other operational requirements.5.2 Present or communicate specifications or plans to relevant parties for approval, funding or endorsement.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
development of a concept for an arts organisation or project which meets overall objectives
communication skills demonstrated through effective consultation processes.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills through the development of a concept for an arts organisation or project to meet a specific industry need
consultation/interaction with others to reflect the communication aspects of this unit.
Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
evaluation of concept proposals and specifications developed by the candidate
evaluation of reports prepared by the candidate detailing approaches to concept development, challenges faced and how these were addressed
case studies to assess ability to apply the concept development process to different situations and contexts
review of portfolios of evidence
third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed to develop concepts, e.g. relevant documentation.
