Appendix C Week 4 Update to Case Study

After successfully choosing a conference destination, funding fell through and the trip was cancelled! Morale is down and employees are disappointed. Jamal wants to do something to lift the workers spirits. He and Amber have discussed a picnic at the local park, an afternoon at the movies, a paint night, or a catered lunch for the employees. They hope whatever activity they choose will bring the group together and lessen the sadness of the cancelled trip. The employees have worked very hard this year and Jamal and Amber want to do something nice to show their appreciation for them. They want the group to regain the tight knit connection that they had before. Would you use the same decision-making tool you were assigned in Week 2 or a different one? Why?
