Assignment
Case Study
You are a consultant hired by an established, medium-sized manufacturing corporation with 250 employees. Your task is to create a team that will work together over a nine-month time frame to develop a proposal for a new business model to address ways the business will grow over the next year.
The team members must come from at least three different functional areas because the CEO wants input from a variety of stakeholders. The functional areas that currently exist in the organization include human resources, marketing, finance/accounting, operations, and information technology. Select team members from any three of these areas.
Under the old business model, the employees working in the functional areas were not encouraged to communicate or collaborate with one another. In addition, the former CEO never asked for new ideas and appeared oblivious to issues negatively impacting the corporation's productivity and efficiency.
