Background Quality Appliances is a regional chain of appliance outlets. Three months ago a new IS system went live to handle all sales, billing, and inventory activity for the chain. All seemed well at the end of the implementation phase. A follow-up survey, however, reveals some issues have developed that Susan Thomas, the IT consultant who developed and implemented the system, wants to address. Several new hires in the sales force have occurred in the past month. Original plans were to have training for all new hires given by department managers. The new sales people, however, indicate that no training was provided, and they were expected to “train themselves” from the documentation created for the new system. The new hires indicate they are having trouble using the system, because the documentation is support oriented and assumes a knowledge of the system. Several members of the sales force have asked for enhancements to the system that would allow them more easily to track their…

A recent report on executive awareness of and involvement in corporate pandemic preparedness by Michael Evangelides, principal at Deloitte Consulting LLP, most top executives and boards of directors are not engaged in the influenza pandemic planning process and won't give it equal billing to other potential disruptions until at least one of the following occurs: • Media attention to pandemic influenza increases. • Legislation or regulation emerges, requiring a high level of preparedness. • Shareholders and investors demand a high level of preparedness. • The financial impact of a pandemic on the corporation becomes evident.
