Dear Prof,

Reading the model, it says the case study includes problem statements, org analysis, environment analysis, gap analysis, cause analysis and proposed intervention. The task for this "Kayak Case" to look for ways to improve the situation at the Premier Kayaks. We are to select a phase. By phase do you mean either one of the following? problem statements, organizational analysis, environment analysis, gap analysis, cause analysis and proposed intervention? I will start the discussion using gut intuition and tackling the performance Analysis (The need or opportunity) phase, since I need to do the assignment now. If this is not the purpose then I will make edits as I learn better on applying my HPT hat.:-) (Enna)

Yes, any phase that you can easily relate to.

Dear Professor, the mind map is very useful and the way you draw it makes it understandable. Can the weakness that they mention, communication network and the fact that there is only one copy of the detailed information be added to the performance problem? I studied the mind map and the performance problem to me is also affected by the two aspects. There is a weakness in the system, especially when the only copy of the information is transported between the office and the manager. also the fact that the booking is only in hard copy and that only the managers know about it and the workers need to wait until they are informed about the bookings. It is hard for the employees to determine their schedules. (Wynand)

Dear Prof., The fishbone is of great help sir because it has brought out issues that we have all seemed to overlook. Examples of these are: the limited number of available kayaks and their availability by location. To resolve issues like this, though it is environmental, the management of the company has to purchase more kayaks and deploy to location based on the schedule of bookings (Olubiyi).

Sir, please note that this comment was made earlier on the Kayak Case page (Olubiyi).
