Thank you for sharing your own experience. Based on your words, can I said that that companies need to include an estimate of the engagement of local stakeholders when designing a project plan. And we should balance the engagement of both local stakeholders and stakeholders from companies.

Thank you for sharing your experience. You are right, when the project related to traffic, civil Engineering, and other large-scale construction. The communication with the stakeholders (residents) becomes one of the decisive factor of the project.

It is important to consider about the stakeholders’ requirements and thoughts. Any disagreement with the stakeholders’ ideas can give the project a lot of unnecessary troubles. My dad and his colleagues contracted a project that will build a large supermarket. Because of many issues like underground parking and setting pipelines, so workers need…[Read more]

You not only consider about the communication issues, you think more deeply to consider about what will happen if communication issues happen. Yes, you are right. A bad communication will make the teammates get conflicts and make the work becomes inefficiency.

Thank you for your sharing. It is very important that you mentioned about the time if Juanita Lopez wants to meet with Jim and his teammates. It needs to take one hour and nineteen to meet with other, it is hard for Juanita to do again and again. If the emergency event happen, the team can not wait her so long.

Thank you for your idea. I really like the way you use the question to show the risk. The issues relate to Juanita Lopez involved many other issues like human resource management, schedule planning, team communication, and so on.

Thank you for your sharing, Chenhui. In the other word, I think we can also decides the second risk as the human resource risk. For that, Jim need to hire more employees with the experience or professional knowledge to help him finish the project.

Thank you for your sharing Xinteng. I agree with your idea about the “lack of the experience.” It is right that if a person is not familiar with the new position, and new situation, it is hard for him to start his works. He needs to take a brunch of time to know everything he should know.

To add into the comment, for me, I think the communication issue is the most risky one that Jim’s team needs to pay more attention. For the experience, Jim can take some time to know about the new situation and colleagues. For scheduling risk, it is based on the communication, if Jim wants to deal with this problem, he needs to communicate with…[Read more]

There are three main potential risks that Jim’s team may face to.
First of all, Jim lacks of experience to work as a team leader (project manager). Although Jim works as assistant director of information technology in Petrie Electronics. However, he enters into a new company, the position and colleagues are new. He needs more time to get…[Read more]

Thank you for your sharing. I just want to add some information to your second idea. Actually, most of the outsource related to pollution, environmental governance, and reputation.

I really interest the idea you said about the loss of competence. I did not realize before that will be one of the risk to the company. Of course, it will make the company over dependent on the outsourcing company, but we can also regard it as company structure integration, which help company raise work efficiency.

Thank you for your sharing, I agree with you idea. If the company choose the outsourcing company, it may lose the control of their production. The outsourcing company may not pay much attention to the production. They even give the quality test to the products. However, the quality can directly affect users experience.

I agree with your idea. There is one point that worth to be discussed. I agree with what you said employees turnover, but for outsourcing, if the company faces to employees turnover, most of the employees will be replaced (lost) is low-level manufacturing workers. In this situation, it also makes data breach happen, the workers may disclose the…[Read more]

The first risk of outsource is the quality of the products. It is sure that the outsource is good for company to save money. However, it also means that you will lose control to your production quality. The outsourcing company may not pay enough attention to the product quality, they may not do the quality test. But the product quality is directly…[Read more]
