have some transformation and have use of artificial intelligence to survive in the longer period.
By having some changes in the company it will improve the working and other tasks that helps
the employees to have better production and get help in some work.
Aims:
To evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence by have transformation at the workplace
on the employees in the firm. A study on sainsbury.
Objectives:
 To evaluate the meaning of transformation at the workplace.
 To analyse the impact of artificial intelligence on workforce in organization.
 To analyse the challenges that are associated with the use of artificial intelligence.
 To recommend the valid solution to overcome from the challenges.
Research questions:
What is the meaning of transformation at the workplace?
How the artificial intelligence has impact on the workforce working in the company?
What are the challenges that are associated with the transformation in the workplace?

Project management plan
PMP refers to the project management plan that used to describe the evaluation and
selection of the factors that are necessary to be done in order to complete the different tasks and
activities. By having this plan it helps the researcher to have the better research by having good
research on the topic. This also used to have segregation of the different tasks that are needed to
be done (Damij and Damij, 2021). In order to do the research there are several steps that are need
to be followed that includes planning of the research, evaluating the different topics,
implementing the things and have proper checking of the research. In order to complete this
research planning and controlling are the basic steps that the researcher must follow. The factors
of PMP is as described below:
Cost: This is considered as the most crucial factor that makes to know about the total
amount that is required in order to have the completion of the different tasks and activities in the
research. In the current research the researcher must know about the overall amount in order to
conduct the valid research. The researcher will be required $ 4000 that makes them to complete
the overall study on the given topic.
Scope: The scope of the study must be so wide that helps them to have proper research
about the doing project. The current research is based on the organization of UK that is
Sainsbury. By doing this research it helps the researcher to have the wide scope on the given
topic. There will be proper collection and evaluation of the data which helps to collect the
accurate research.
Time: This project management plan factor considers the total time that will be required
in order to complete the project or research. In this current study the researcher will need 4
weeks that is basically 28 days to have the successful research. By having the estimated time
makes the researcher to have the proper attainment of the goals and objectives.
Quality: This factor in the project management plan tells the researcher to know about
the validity and relevancy of the research that helps them to complete the research (Khomyakov,
Mirgalimova and Sillitti, 2020). By having proper quality of the ensures makes the data more
relevant and realistic. By this it helps them to remove the inaccuracy and have the better
evaluation of the research topic by considering the quality of research.
Communication: This is one of the important factor that helps the researcher to have the
proper completion of the projects. By having the proper communication with the different

parties, respondents, managers of the firms, stakeholders of the company, etc. This will helps the
researcher to have the better and accurate results of the research which makes them to attain the
set goals and objectives. As communication is considered as the vital part of any conversation
which makes the research more successful.
Risk management: As there are different risks that used to arise while having research
on the projects. The risks must be identified by having the prior research that supports the
researcher to have the better solution to overcome from any risk that may be arose. They must
also develop the current measures by this they can have the better dealing with the future risks.
By developing the different strategies makes them to manage the things in better way. Further by
ensuring the accuracy and having proper collection of the data makes the current research more
helpful and successful.
Resources: The resources are the most important factor which is required in order to
make the research more successful. By having the proper availability of the resources helps the
researcher to do conduct the best research (Ketmanto, Hasibuan and Jacob, 2018). The resources
required in the current research is technological and financial resources that are the most required
in order to have the completion of the research. By having the proper availability of the financial
and technological resources it supports to have better completion of the decided research.
Research methodology
Research methodology is considered as the way that used to explain the researcher that
how to conduct the research and makes that research successful. This is the logical and
systematic plan that helps to resolve the problems that used to arise in order to conduct the
research. It is used to provide detail plan that makes the researcher to have the smooth flow of
the process and manage the things.
Research type: There are basically two types of research approaches that includes
qualitative and quantitative. In order to conduct the current research the qualitative approach has
been used that helps the researcher to know about the various theoretical framework. This also
makes them to have better understanding about the things to know about the impact of artificial
intelligence on the employees.
Research philosophy: There are two philosophies that is interpretivism and positivism
that helps to conduct the better research (Silva, Bianchi and Amaral, 2019). In order to analyse
the impact of artificial intelligence on the employees interpretivism is used. This philosophy is

basically based on the assumptions which helps to draw the better quality of data from the
quantitative research.
Data collection: This used to consist of primary and secondary data that helps to collect
the accurate data for research. The primary data consists of the real facts and figures that is
collected by the researcher. On the other side, the secondary data used to consist of already
collected data that is summarized in newspapers, articles, in order to conduct the current research
the both primary and secondary data is used that makes the research more successful. By making
the questionnaires the primary data is collected and secondary data is collected from the
literature reviews.
Sampling: in order to collect the samples there are basically two methods that is
probability and non-probability. In this current study the probability sampling method is used as
in this random sampling is done (Mohajan, 2018). The 20 respondents will be selected randomly
that helps them to conduct the proper research and know about the views. This also helps to
provide the relevant data by having the best research on the artificial intelligence that is
transformation at the workplace.
Data analysis: In the current research the thematic analysis will be chosen that helps to
have better use of artificial intelligence on the organization profitability. This can be done by
using the graphs, data, The data must be so relevant that helps to draw the valid conclusion and
have the better research. By making the graphs on th different themes it helps to have the better
identification of the topic and have better comparison of the data with any further topic in the
future.
Ethical consideration: This is related with the ethical compliances that helps the
searcher to have the better study on the topic. By designing the consent form and distributing to
the respondents makes the researcher to ensure that the data is not forcefully taken (Pandey and
Pandey, 2021). They must also attach the declaration form that used to confirm that the data
attached id being carried out with loyalty and truthfulness. This used to generate the transparency
in order to have the better results at the end.
Validity and reliability: In order to conduct the best research the data that has been
collected must be reliable and valid. This makes that the sources that are collected must be valid
sources so that accuracy can be maintained (Snyder, 2019). Further it can also be ensured that the
data taken must be authorized and accurate so that confusion can be eliminated.
