- What is a good response to this post? For this discussion, I'll share a strategy that our company implemented several years ago. It was a significant undertaking, and I remember it well. Our company was going to upgrade our Automated Teller Machine (ATM) to an Interactive Teller Machine (ITM). However, this meant we had to change debit card processors to accomplish this. Changing debit card processors meant a disruption in services for our members as we transitioned from one company to the next. This transition meant that on the day of the transition, the old cards would no longer work, and members would need to start using the new cards they had received in the mail weeks prior. Our goal was to manage this transition as smoothly as possible. Our goal fits with the realities of the external environment and resources only to an extent. We had resources like mailing letters, advertising the change on the mobile app, online banking, and in-branch brochures on completing the transition…arrow_forwardDiscuss 4 interesting KEY POINTS about the Critical Success Factors Between BPM and BPAarrow_forwardoutline the process of data anaysis using thematic analysis for qualitative research methodarrow_forward

- What is a good response to this post? A few years ago, I was working at a third-party delivery service provider for Amazon and I was tasked with streamlining our company’s employee onboarding process. My goal was to reduce the average onboarding time from 15 full work days to 7 full work days without increasing costs or diminishing training experience. The challenge was aligning our limited resources—a small team and existing tools—with this ambitious objective while meeting customer expectations for a smooth and informative experience. To begin, I assessed the overall environment, specifically the training experience our new employees had with onboarding and driver training within our industry. It became clear that many competitors were already shifting towards faster, more user-friendly onboarding processes. Internally, I mapped out our resources, identifying inefficiencies in our current workflows as the primary bottleneck. Armed with this analysis, I strategized a plan to automate…arrow_forwardWhat is a good response to this post? The organization I’ve chosen is Amazon, and the legal risks it faces as it expands into the Swedish e-commerce market. Sweden has a highly unionized workforce with robust labor protections. Amazon’s traditional labor practices have faced criticism and conflicts with Swedish norms, leading to disputes with labor unions. Amazon has been accused of interfering with workers’ right to unionize, including allegations of intimidation, retaliation, and surveillance (Albuquerque, 2024). Amazon upholds principles and has established “Amazon’s Global Human Rights Principles,” which outline its commitment to respecting the human rights of all workers and creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace. However, shareholders believe that these principles can be achieved without unionization and claim that a significant portion of workers rejected union efforts.
