(MYH) is a Fortune 500 company that provides a variety of healthcare services across the globe. MYH has more than 20,000 full-time employees and more than 5,000 part-time employees. MYH recently updated its strategic plan; key goals include reducing internal costs, increasing cross-selling of products, and exploiting new Web- based technologies to help employees, customers, and suppliers work together to improve the development and delivery of healthcare products and services. Below are some ideas the IT department has developed for supporting these strategic goals: 1. Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project: Provide an application on the current intranet to help employees improve their health. A recent study found that MYH, Inc. pays 20 percent more than the industry average for employee healthcare premiums, primarily due to the poor health of its employees. You believe that this application will help improve employee health within one year of its rollout so that you can negotiate lower health insurance premiums, providing net savings of at least $30/employee/year for full-time employees over the next four years. This application would include the following capabilities: Allow employees to register for company-sponsored recreational programs, such as soccer, softball, bowling, 2 jogging, and walking. Allow employees to register for company-sponsored classes and programs to help them manage their weight, reduce stress, stop smoking, and manage other health-related issues. Track data on employee involvement in these recreational and health-management programs. Offer incentives for people to join the programs and do well in them (e.g., incentives for achieving weight goals, winning sports team competitions, etc.). 2. Health Coverage Costs Business Model: Develop an application to track employee healthcare expenses and company healthcare costs. Healthcare premiums continue to increase, and the company has changed insurance carriers several times in the past 10 years. This application should allow business modeling of various scenarios as well as tracking and analyzing 3 current and past employee healthcare expenses and company healthcare costs. This application must be secure and run on the current intranet so several managers and analysts can access it and download selected data for further analysis. The new application must also import data from the current systems that track employee expenses submitted to the company and the company's costs to the insurance provider. You believe that having this data wilWindows help you revise policies concerning employee contributions to healthcare premiums and help you negotiate for lower premiums with insurance companies. You estimate that this application would save your company about igs to activate Windows. $20/emplovee/vear for full-time emplovees over the next four vears and cost about $100.000 to develop.

The current sales management system has separate sections for major product and service categories and different sales reps based on those products and services. You see great opportunities to increase sales to current customers by providing discounts when they purchase multiple products and services. You estimate that this system would increase profits by $1 million each year for the next three years and cost about $800,000 each year for development and maintenance. 4 . Web-Enhanced Communications System: Develop a Web-based application to improve development and delivery of products and services. There are currently several incompatible systems related to the development and delivery of products and services to customers. This application would allow customers and suppliers to provide suggestions, enter orders, view the status and history of orders, and use electronic commerce capabilities to purchase and sell their products. You estimate that this system would save your company about $2 million each year for three years after implementation. You estimate that the system will take one year and $3 million to develop and require 20 percent of development costs each year to maintain. Tony Prince is the project manager for the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project.

The person fmm the HR department who was supporting the project left the company, and now the team needs more support from that group. A member of the user group that supports the project is extremely vocal and hard to work with, and other users can hardly get a word in at meetings. The project manager, Tony. is getting weekly status reports from all of his team members. but many of them do not address obvious challenges that people are facing. The team is having difficulty deciding how to communicate various project reports and documents and where to store all of the information being generated. Recall that the team members include you, a programmer/analyst and aspiring project manager; Patrick, a network specialist; Nancy. a business analyst; and Bonnie, another programmer/analyst. i. Describe two suggested approaches for communicating with the hard-to-work-with user. Tony and his team identied some risks during the rst month of the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. However. all they did was document the risks in a list. They never ranked the risks or developed any response strategies. Because the project has had several problems. such as key team members leaving the company. users being uncooperative. and team members not providing good status information. Tony has decided to be more proactive in managing risks, He also wants to address positive risks as well as negative risks. ii. Identify three potential risks, including risks related to the problems described in the previous paragraph. Include negative and positive risks. Develop a response strategy for one of the negative risks and one of the positive risks. Senior management at Manage Your Health. Inc. (MYH) decided that it would be best to outsource employee training on the Recreation and Wellness system which will be rolled out soon. MYH also wants to outsource the incentive program designed to motivate employees to use the system and improve their health. MYH feels that the right outside company could get people excited about the system and provide a good incentive program. As part of the seller selection process. MYH will require interviews and samples of similar work to be presented to a review team. Recall that MYH has more than 20.000 full~time employees and more than 5.000 pat-Mime employees. Assume that the work would involve several instructor-led training sessions, developing a training video that employees could view from the company's intranet site, developing a training manual for the courses that anyone can download from the intranet site, developing an incentive program for using the system and improving health, creating surveys to assess the training and incentive programs, and developing monthly presentations and reports on the work completed. The initial contract would last one year. with annual renewal options. iii. Suppose that your team has discussed management's request. You agree that it makes sense to have another organimtion manage the incentive program for this new application. but you do not think it makes sense to . . . . t . t . \\M outsource the training.
