Outcome 5.2: Evaluate the risks, costs and benefits of alternative courses of action to the business

WBL Competency 5: Business Awareness

To meet this Outcome you will need to show that you understand how the choices you make in the course of your work impact your business in terms of risks, costs and benefits.

In your logbook sheet you should explain a scenario where you had to choose one method of working over another, explaining the risks, costs and benefits of both and why you chose one method over another.

You should attach supporting evidence that shows the evaluation of risks, costs and benefits of alternative courses of action to the business (e.g. when choosing between providers of services to the business or when choosing in-house as opposed to external services or counsel, attach all relevant correspondence).
