Case Study: Arriving at Atkins, & Crabtree Associates Julia Shah felt uneasy. The first day in her new job was not going as expected. She recalled her first day at University, her first day at School and remembered the feeling of terror, not knowing anyone, where to go, or what to do. She had arrived on the dot of nine as instructed, neatly dressed and excited about her first day of paid employment since graduating from Business School. It had all seemed very friendly at the interview, and then the offer of employment as a Trainee Consultant' had come a few days later. The welcome had been warm enough, with a Senior Partner there to show her to her desk, but that was just the first two minutes. Now two hours later she sat there in despair. All attempts to communicate with her new colleagues were to no avail. "We've got a rush job on", one said, whilst another had retorted frostily "you'll have to find your own way around, we are too busy to show you". Her observation was that they all…

Case Study: Strategic Workforce Planning at Dutch Railway Infrastructure Manager- ProRail Traffic Control Introduction The Dutch Railway system processes 1.3 million passengers and more than a million tons of cargo daily with high reliability and safety and a low CO2 profile. In the coming 10 years, the daily number of trains will need to grow 30% to enable train operators to deliver on the growing demand for Passenger and Cargo traffic. This is a major challenge for the Dutch Railway infrastructure manager, ProRail Traffic Control. An obvious choice would be to change and grow the rail infrastructure within the Netherlands. But growing the infrastructure would require a multi-billion Euro investment and may take too much time and space in urban areas. So to meet this growing demand, ProRail Traffic Control needs to invest in technologies that make it possible to automate and digitize large parts of the now manual traffic control process. This way the transportation capacity can be…

Mayo Clinic: Design Thinking in Health Care In the early 2000s, Mayo Clinic physician Nicholas LaRusso began asking himself a question: if we can test new drugs in clinical trials, can we also test new kinds of doctor-patient interactions? Although over the last 50 years there had been enormous advances in diagnosing and treating disease, the systems of delivering health care had changed little. In fact, new tests, treatments, and procedures meant that the health care experience had become increasingly complex for provider and patient alike. But what if there were better ways to provide care? As LaRusso reasoned, “New technology, new diagnostic tests, and new therapeutics will be most effective if we can improve the ways we deliver these enormous advances to patients.” LaRusso had heard that design firms like IDEO were offering consulting services in the area of human factors design, and he wondered if their work might be applicable in the health care setting. Mayo had a history of…

CABUYAO St. Vincent College of Cabuyao Barangay Mamatid, Cabuyao City, Laguna Case Study 2 TO CHANGE OR NOT TO CHANGE: A CASE STUDY AT THE FRONT DESK Morgan Black has been described by the corporate office as the Miracle Worker because of the troubled properties that were turned around under Morgan's leadership. It is hoped the story at the Coug Inn will have the same happy ending; however, the Coug Inn is in a remote location, hundreds of miles from any other corporate properties. The Coug Inn is a 150-room full-service property with several medium-sized conference rooms; it caters mostly to business travelers and visitors affiliated with the local university. The bulk of the revenue is generated between August and May, with periods when classes are not in session being extremely slow. The hotel is at full occupancy only during football weekends and commencement. Occupancy has been declining for the last year or so, with last month's RevPAR at a record low. Since arriving at the Coug…

CASE STUDY - Bricks and Mortar This coursework concerns the development of information systems for the branch offices of Bricks and Mortar, a rapidly expanding estate agency in the south of England. The attached information was gathered in an interview with Mrs Kate Hudson, joint owner and managing director. Bricks and Mortar are considering computerising and "internetting" the main part of their business: that carried out in the branch offices; the selling and marketing of houses. They called this the "Business Improvement Project" (BIP). It is hoped that this will enable Bricks and Mortar to become the premier estate agent in the south of England although with the drop in demand to buy houses as the rental market expands coupled with new internet based estate agents emerging this could be a tough target to meet. However, the BIP should allow costs to fall as there will be a need for fewer administrative staff especially if they switch away from advertising in newspapers and move onto…
