Decision Making and Framing
Process
Your organization is located
in one of the largest metropolitan areas of the nation. Your organization hosts
and supplies services to all the courts in the United States, including Guam
and Puerto Rico. The power grid in your building is no longer able to handle
the demand of power. They need to be relocated to other areas. The proposed
areas are San Diego and Ashburn, Virginia. It would be more economical to
fork-lift the entire server rooms at once to the proposed locations as opposed
to moving a few pieces at a time. Additionally, the vendor who designs and
installs the servers at the new locations is rigid on the due dates for
receiving the planning drawings and will only build the designs per drawing
specifications. Even if the vendor knows something is incorrect, they only
build per written and signed off specifications. A consultant on the project
knows that something is wrong but he does not notify anyone of the problem. A
month later, when another vendor goes to install the power to the servers they
notice that the server racks are off. The consultant calls back to the office
to notify his supervisor that the vendor will not deliver power and lets it
slip out that he knew about the potential problem a month ago. Each time the
power vendor goes to the location, it costs more than $23,000 per day, full
day’s work or not. The supervisor is angry because this could have been
corrected over one month ago.
Based on the scenario
described above, create a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document that includes:
·
An explanation of how you
would handle the given situation.
·
An analysis, identification,
and reasoning of the theory that relates to this scenario.
·
A description of how the
framing process could affect this situation and whether things have turned
around to the positive side.
·
An analysis, identification,
and reasoning for the person accountable for this situation, assuming that
firing the consultant is not an option.
·
An analysis and description of
the kinds of check lists that should be in place to prevent the situation from
happening in the future.
Support your responses with
examples.
Cite any sources in APA
format.
