Things to keep in mind while answering

- Who are we?

We are one of the best consulting groups in the world. Our business name MGAG consulting group

To give the best advice to ComSyst Technologies (CST)

- Who is CST?

A multi-national company which develops software and systems (serving in defence and emergency services industry). They have offices in Australia, New Zealand, The united states, Philippines, India and South Korea.

They have lost three tenders to competitors. Some of their best staffs have left the company.

- What are the obvious problems of the company?

Poor people management issues, including (poor employment performance, low employee engagement, staffs dont stay long in the organization, competitors has gained a technological advancements)

- What we will investigate and report on?

Probable reasons for above problems such as:

Maybe there is lack of motivation (it is why there is poor employee performance) and how we can improve. (Module 1)

The organization is multi-national. Maybe the problem is in organizational culture and behaviour. (Module 1)

Maybe they have communication problems (Module 2)

Maybe there is lack of positive conflicts and there are lots of negative conflicts (Module 2)

Maybe there is problem in negotiation (module 2) or managing and coping with recent changes (like COVID 19) (module 2)

Maybe they have recruitment, selection and managing people problem (module 3)

Or maybe they have problems in developing people and team.

In general, we should find the reason behind their problems and solve it through what we have learnt so far.

- Where we want to take CST to?

Our recommendation should ensure:

CST is well positioned in the future

Attract and retain the best talent

Create a team based performance

Build employee capability and performance

Important thing is that our time frame is within next 2 years.

We have to find real world examples that our suggestions have worked in other companies.

Question 1. Talent management and succession plan

- What do these terms mean?

- Why those are important?

- MGAG CG has found that there are some problems in talent management. What are those? Give recommendations how CST should fix this and why is it important? And MGAG Cg has found CST doesnt have a succession plan. Recommend a succession plan for CST.

- Is there any real world example which how these recommendations have worked for another company?

- And anything you might think is related to subject. (use your knowledge and creativity to add)
