Assessment 2: Role play (meeting with the colleagues)
Me (Operational Manager): So, what are thinking about the next step about the project, as
we can see that the CEO has accepted the risk briefing report aahn?
Office manager: Well, I can’t deny the fact that we need to be more conscious about the
risks, especially in the operation brother. I believe that risk in the internal environment is
controllable. What I am thinking is the financial risk of the expansion as opening of three
different outlets is obviously the question of fund.
Me (Operational Manager): You know the CEO is wary of the recovery plan he thinks it
can be challenging at times. Because the past experience of power cut certainly has to
remember in the products of new products.
Marketing Manager: Are you guys little laidback towards the market dynamics? Well, I
believe this is going to take its toll on the heads. You can see the market demands and needs
are rapidly changing. No static strategy or product could be challenging.
Me (Operational Manager): We will perform a detailed study on the market to know its
behaviour and dynamics and on the basis of the review, we can make changes in the plan but
regulatory requirements would make it little challenging for us because you see three
expansion at the same time in three different markets. What about the changes in the political
support? No, I do not think we could expect the government to allow us in the healthcare
sector.
Office manager: Well, the investment in the project might mitigate the risk of regulatory
grounds as we are concerned about the expansion, we can expect that business might reach
the next level. So, it can be handled through the policies of the next level of expansion in the
beauty and skin care industry.

Me (Operational Manager): I also believe in the fact that skills and competencies of our
people would be a significant risk. We may cover the whole operation through the use of
advanced technology but we know our employees do not have the skills to use those
technologies. Employees’ skills and competencies would be significant challenge.
Office manager: So, I can assume that limited skills could delay the operation of new
project. We should give a note to our heads stating the importance of employee training needs
and capacities, else, we might have to deal with slow return of the investment in the
expansion.
Office manager: hey, I also believe that we need new talents to supervise our digital
activities, we need more accurate numbers with respect to public awareness about our
products. Till now we have no plans about promotion and media spend, I don’t know how we
are going to sustain the plan. It will take a lot of time if we do not approach the clients from
now. We cannot stick to one single market, we should extend our focus on wide market.
Me (Operational Manager: That can be managed effectively, we can leverage the popular
channels like YouTube and Instagram for spreading NatureCare , I believe that these two
tools have a wide coverage with respect to approaching audience in the remote location or
say the oversea markets.
Marketing Manager: Plus, I am thinking about the suppliers’ network, existing logistic
network of NatureCare is doomed to failure. It takes a lot of time to operate this extending
supply chain. We are determined to enhance our logistic network and we have to manage
this through technology. I can be challenging to manage three different network of operation,
like supplying the raw materials. I believe that we need to enhance frequency of logistics
services.
