Case Study
Sandrine has been asked to be her department’s representative in a team planning the company’s move to a new office building. She has been asked to produce a list of her department’s current resources and any specific requirements her team has e.g. dedicated printer.
Sandrine is concerned about managing her normal workload alongside these new tasks.
- If you were Sandrine, how would you establish and manage your tasks and responsibilities?
- Who would you talk to in order to agree deadlines for the work?
- Who would you keep informed of progress?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the responses you have to the above scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague or friend and ask them to tell you whether they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
