Assessment 2 Case Study Summary Report (group member Diana performed)

Businesses can learn from others who have adequately addressed similar challenges successfully. The customization and applicability of the solution depends on the size, nature of operation, business operations, vision and the applicable business environmental aspect. In this paper, we assume the role of a business consultant for a client ANG to provide advice on addressing a variety of challenges, including managing performances, managing team performances and developing high-performing teams. The paper offers comparative recommendations on how to address these issues through comparative research of organizations that have successfully addressed these challenges.

Managing performance( this is my part which i performed)

ANG requires new performance management through the latest software introduced and seeks to ensure managers have a role to play in its implementation.ANG's performance management system should take a comprehensive approach. An inclusive structure should facilitate performance goals. Individual employee goals must align with the ongoing discussions between managers and staff members and clear communication on the organization's objectives (Armstrong & Taylor, 2014).

A comparative case is Google, which uses the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) framework for goal setting and embraces a culture of continuous feedback by enabling staff members to provide managers and peers withreal-time input via platforms like Google Feedback. Supervisors provide consistent, helpful criticism to promote progress. Google also has development opportunities, including Google University, for its employees (Tran, 2017).

The change management to the new software would be well-handed to ensure it is done smoothly through Kotter's 8-Step Process. As shown in the table below, Google has set out an excellent example of implementing change.

Role	What Google did
Goal Setting	Employs the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) framework, in which staff members establish attainable, quantifiable goals that are in line with the organisation's aims.
Regular Feedback	Google encourages a culture of continuous feedback by enabling staff members to provide managers and peers withreal-time input via platforms like Google Feedback
Coaching and Development Planning	initiatives like Career Guru and Google University, Google makes investments in the professional growth of its workforce. Managers serve as mentors, offering advice and encouragement to help staff members develop
Alignment of Individual and Company Goals	Google makes sure that each employee's goals are in line with the larger organisational goals in order to promote overall alignment and team performance.

Recruit the Biofuels Management Team(group member sangita performed)

The organization must select the adequate market for talent and the right talent profile based on the organization's primary plan and strategy (Compton et al., 2014). Factors to consider include the amount of money available, the urgency of the position to be filled, the target audience, and the level of exemption for the available position (Arthur, 2001, pp. 93-123). The process needs to follow Amazon's emphasis on career advancement and internal mobility to attract talent by offering avenues for professional growth (Amazon, 2023).

Key decision-makers should be included. The different roles are described in the table below.

ANG Board	provides strategic direction for recruitment and selection by aligning with the organization's vision, missions, and goals
Chief Executive Officer:	responsible for overseeing the entire process, from advertising job vacancies to conducting interviews, screening applicants, and negotiating job offers
Chief operations officers, Biofuels division	provides insights into the roles and responsibilities to be filled in each division
Contract manager:	Will prepare the employment contract for the selected people
Talent and Recruitment Manager	Lead the recruitment and selection process, including sourcing candidates, conducting interviews, assessing qualifications, and facilitating on boarding

Develop a High Performing Management Team( group member banjamin performed)

Key defining features of high-performance teams include well-defined goals related to the organization's vision and values. They also have effective communication characterized by open dialogue, sharing ideas, and constructive feedback. The teams have mutual trust (Pak & Kim, 2018). Allowing members to utilize their different skills and perspectives to work on problems is also essential. High-performing teams are also fast, flexible, resilient, and learn from setbacks (O'Neill & Salas, 2018).

Developing the Biofuels management team to improve team performance and cohesion would require setting clear goals, promoting open communications, fostering a level of trust and collaboration, and providing leadership and support to those who need it. It also requires encouraging innovation and continuous improvement. Coca-Cola successfully implemented this framework in the following ways.

Aspect	What coca cola did
Define Clear Goals and Roles	Coca-Cola's stress on clear objectives and defining the individual responsibilities
Promote Open Communication	opening up lines of communication to allow the sharing of ideas and feedback and handling of issues by team members
Foster Trust and Collaboration	developing strong, cohesive teams through the fostering of trust and collaboration very motivating
Provide Leadership and Support:	Leadership development programs and mentorship initiatives like mentoring and coaching
Encourage Innovation and Continuous Improvement	Coca-Cola's emphasis on innovation and agility

Recommendation

ANG should focus on professional development through training and management inclusion through mentorships, training and staff coaching. The organization should have a hiring process that understands employees' needs and focuses on achieving work-life balance. When implementing change, change ANG should follow Kotter's eight-step approach, emphasising inclusivity. Develop a culture of collaboration, and team efforts should be encouraged. It should also seek to work in teams where people are held accountable as teams and lead toward the development of a culture of trusting each other. ANG should establish a clear succession and hiring plan with clear roles and responsibilities. Key decision-makers in the organization should be included in the hiring process. Staff members should be included in the improvement process by seeking feedback and including them in decision-making.It is imperative that individual employee goals align with the organization's larger objectives and encourage continuous learning and improvement.

Conclusion( group member Diana performed)

Using comparative cases to business solutions provides excellent information on addressing business problems. It is, however, vital to customize them to suit prevailing business conditions. ANG can learn from Google how to manage performance, from Coca-Cola's use of Kotter's 8 steps, and Amazon's hiring process. Going ahead, it should create a team working environment, a succession plan and a culture of open communications. The top management must be included in the hiring process, coaching, training and development of its staff with a focus on professional development.
