Practice Task 14 Case study Blake is in the business support team, helping the manager complete team budgets for the directors meeting in 10 days. He is also a member of a task force working to implement improved computer systems. The directors are expecting a report on these new systems at the upcoming meeting. Carin, a computer consultant, is sick for a week and this affects Blake's time lines. He needs to spend more time than originally estimated working on the new accounting system prior to the directors meeting. This will now affect his workload in the business support team and the manager is less than satisfied with his performance. Blake prepares a list of his tasks with the accounting systems and estimates how long they will take. He then identifies the tasks that he needs to do to complete the team budgets. He is able to see that he could work on the budgets with his manager on the days that the accounting system is being tested by the taskforce. He discusses his solution with his manage and the taskforce, who agree that this the best use of his time. In this way both reports will be ready for the directors meeting. 1.
