Situation

The situation is where you start. You learn by dealing with real-life work situations. Provide a short description of the situation for the learners to work on. Along the way, you will impact results.
Sitches are situations, jams, issues, errors, gaps, troubles, stoppages and many others to fix and solve. They are also opportunities to improve, grow, expand, and introduce better, faster and cheaper ways to get the desired results.
What is your Situation and Question?
A fast growing, tech based company wants to develop internal candidates and bench-strength in the face of rapid growth and enterprise scope change. At the same time, reaching basic financial targets has become less easy, and the company has undergone a management change at the top.
What's the biggest challenge?
Growth outstripping resources, managers promoted so quickly they don't have great skills and experience, and HR and succession planning policies that are being developed on an ad hoc basis.
What's the objective?
Stabilize the performance metrics for all aspects of the business, and get the organization on a strong footing with solid development plans and strategies.
