IMPACT ASSESSMENT AGENCY

2. Introduction:
The IAA is an Environmental Consultancy, this case study will depit different aspect on how
an organisation like the IAA will operate. Firstly various roles must be taken under
consideration. A leader or person in charge or the would have to decide on roles of
informational, interpersonal and decisional aspects for the IAA. Then management terms
some factors like Techices, conceptual, and human skills that would benefit the organisation.
The leader also would need to see Examine the external environment of the IAA. Strength,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.an organisation chart would help show how the IAA
runs with its employees. The motivational theories that would benefit the organisation to
work harder. The financial analyses would could help the IAAs financial conditions.
Various Roles:
Interpersonal roles would benefit this environmental consultancy the most due to the roles
being more involved in establishing and maintaining relationships. This would benefit the the
Impact Assessment Agency (IAA) by getting all 6 employs to work together and
communicate in a well and beneficial manner rather than an unorganised way. This role is
relevant to the growing consultancy because they which to reach a goal and expand in the
near future so using Henry Mintzbergs idea in having a good management structure would
benefit and accelerate the organisations goals. Negotiation is one of the biggest points in
interpersonal roles the would help the consultancy. This particular type of roles will have
employs discuss and and reach an agreement in a professional manner which will have them
discussing the ways they want to expand their organisation.
Management Skills:
Technical skills are very important in the particular circumstance. Due to the IAA trying to
expand and reach its goal in the coming future. They are the actual skills that are required to
get the job done, these skills and tools are needed at the by front-line employees in the
manager's functional area. The leader in the IAA requires the technical skills to show a good
example to his or her employees. If the skills are not present the leader could have some
problems, he or she could be setting a bad example and showing an indication to employees
as “do what I say not what I do” when he does things wrong, which can put the organisation
at risk of collapse if the leaders don’t know the skills that are required for the roles.
External Environment:
The main aspect of the external environment for the of IAA would be the importance of the
customers. The customers in this case would be other companies in need of Consultancy on
their environmental impact. Competitors are also a big factor in this circumstance do to the
IAA goal to expand and move to a more rural area where bigger companies might already
exist. Thinking of the internal benefits such as wealth and growth, but the competitors can
also be a benefit to the environment so that more people are getting involved in protecting or
consulting on the impacts on the environment.
The PEST analysis also has an impact on the expanding Impact Assessment Agency. Political
wise, these consultancies try to work with new governmental laws that can help reduce the
effect on the environment but also try to benefit companies to grow, this is how costumers
reach to the IAA and they would consult them on how their projects should be going and how
much harm or effect they are doing to their surroundings. The Economic side of PEST is a
Major Part of the IAA it would bring together the Environmental scientist, engineers and
researchers to bring quantitative and qualitative data to depict the impact on the environment
and compare to climate change, water pollution and other impacts. Socio-culture analysis is

3. not a massive factor in the environmental consultancy world, its it would always be taken
under consideration, however staying up to date with the what people think of the
environment in the world could effect the decision made in the IAA to there costumers or
vice versa. Technology is a big part of the IAA they need to stay updated with new and
improved ways to helped their costumers. This would help the IAA grow faster due to the
organisation staying up to date with what is happening with the technology of the world.
SWOT analysis:
The strengths of the IAA would be that there would be a lack of competition in the external
environment. The strength of a consultancy is that it focuses all its knowledge, capabilities,
organizational skills and other qualifications on a specific goal to reach their target. The
importance of the IAA is that it wants to portray a different and beneficial consultancy advice
than other services that could be use. That would separate the competitors for the IAA so that
the Organization is not like the others on the list.
The weaknesses of the IAA would be the lack of employees that are part of it, more works
could help the organization grow faster. Currently the move right now could be a big
weakness for the organization due to most of its employees worrying about that that what
they should be working on. The money that would be spent on the move could impact the
stability of the IAA. But one of the biggest weaknesses if not the biggest is that fact that since
this organization if focused on specific roles, a customer could ask for something that is bot
offered by this organization but is apart of the environmental consultancy, this could go in to
lack of employees as well.
The opportunities of this organisation is that it has the potential to expand, and move
locations which it is currently doing. The fact that new technology is being created every day
to help the environment creates massive opportunities for the IAA to assist with the
costumers. One of the world main focuses in modern day is the environment due to the use of
fusel fuels and destruction of forests and other similar impacts.
The threats of having relate to most of the organisations opportunities. Obviously when an
organisation is trying to grow it hits speed bums, some bigger than others, but some also
could knock it off the charts would could be a catastrophe for the organisation. Moving to a
rural area could be a threat if the IAA doesn’t have a customer in the area or if they have a
very high up competitor. Threats can also be necessary for an organisation, for example the
move again could be beneficial to the company but if some of the employees can not move
with them, first the would lose their jobs second, the IAA can not afford to lose any
employees and it might make the organisation smaller or collapse.
In simpler for the SWOT chart should have this information on it in this kind of format:

4. Strengths: Weaknesses:
- Specific knowledge, capabilities,
organizational skills and other
qualifications.
- Able to change or add more targets
to help costumers.
- The worlds focus on the environment
is high.
- lack of employees.

the specific focus or aspects they
professionalise in.

people to the organisation.

protection of the environment.
- New growth in technology helps
develop the organisation even more.
- Risk of losing employees from the
move.

The OrganisationalChart:

5. MotivationalTheory:
The IAA has been focusing on the motivation part of their leadership and this effects the
organisation because of the influence it provides to its employees, it helps them work harder
and shows them that with great dedication to there work they will be reworded by higher
management. Employees would be completely lost with out leadership this would result in a
messy and unstable work environment which would not be suitable for an organization like
the IAA or any organization, another function would be motivation. The leader of the
organization must motivate his employees, if he doesn’t motivate them enough or at all the
IAA would suffer a big lose in customers or even investors if deadlines are not met on time
or if they are slaking. The IAA tries to motivate their employees to get the best manner of
result for the organization and for the customers the impact of this function really benefits the
IAA in achieving all their deadlines on time and finishing their project with customers with a
well executed and professional manner. Herzburgs theory on Motivation generally found that
experience that was satisfying were not the opposite of those that were dissatisfying. An
example of that would be a job that is disliked is generally because of poor working
conditions, but a person wouldn’t say they enjoy working because of the good working
condition.
FinancialAnalyses:
There is one Financial benefits that can help the IAA financial conditions significantly, on of
those factors would be the cash flow. What is cash flow? It is the amount of cash that can
move in the business, its money that also can moves in and out of the business. If the cash
flow in the IAA is positive, then it would show that the company has an increase in liquid
assets. That would indicate that the IAA would have more money to spend to make the
company better internally or externally. The cash flow can also be negative and with a

less money in the organization.
Conclusion:
Key aspects have been shown during this case study to portray on how an environmental
consultancy organisation would operate in a fine and professional manner. Factors have been
highlight about how the companies’ income is made to how their move is going to be made to
a rural area. More factors could be listed on how the organisation could function in a long
term bases.
