The organization needs a system to help with communication, file sharing, and remote work capabilities. They are considering tools like Slack, Trello, Google services, and Dropbox.

The organization needs a system that can assist with grouping emails/messages, provide video conferencing, and enable information sharing between global teams.

Users faced issues finding files, not knowing who last edited a file, and occasionally files not being in the expected location. They need more training on the system.

the long-term plan is to also tackle a business to consumer
strategy (B2C). 
Worlducation was founded in 2016, and by the end of 2019 they
had sold over 35,000 tablets to over 550 schools in 23 countries,
generating revenue in hardware sales and software
subscriptions. 
Worlducation headquarters are in Sydney’s CBD but they have a
development team in Bulgaria, a manufacturing team in Hong
Kong, and operation and marketing staff in Colombia, Egypt,
Iceland, Russia and the Philippines.
Worlducation started 2020 with a huge sale to a school in
Portugal. Although it was a great start, the context for the rest of
the quarter was highly uncertain due to COVID-19. Surprisingly
the pandemic brought hundreds of new leads and that led to an
unprecedented growth that brought alongside dozens of
operation and production problems.
The factory in Hong Kong closed down for 1 month due to
government restrictions limiting supply, the sales team was
overwhelmed with sale meetings over ZOOM, the tech-support
team had to re-adapt the software to remote learning for many of
the schools, and the founders had to start thinking on how
education was going to change after this worldwide event.

Section 2: Implementation Strategy

Issues Comments Contingency plans

1 Communicating administrative systems Implementation involves winning the support of those who will
use the system or who will be impacted by how it operates. An
organization will be guided through the process with the use of an
implementation strategy. Participating system users will
guarantee that the implementation process is flexible and open to
change.
2 Timing Timing is a vital consideration when putting a new system into
place. The operation of the business functions should be minimally
or completely unaffected by a new system. It will also be necessary
to adhere to the system's implementation timelines. A PERT chart,
which shows how the parallel activity pathways are related, is one
technique
Procedures Procedures can be operational (define the system and designate
3
individuals to carry out the system's processes) or process-
oriented (provides the instructions for performing the specific
tasks needed to complete the processes).
The Procedures for quality assurance is a set of procedures that
yield results of the highest caliber.
4 Training and support for staff You should inform the personnel about the technique of
implementation, how it works, and what that will entail for them
when offering training and assistance. The staff will be able to
comprehend whether the system will change immediately,
gradually, concurrently, or through a test project.
The sort of training and assistance provided will rely on the
implementation strategy, available resources, and financial
BSBOPS503 PROJECT PORTFOLIO 11
constraints. Depending on whether it is internal or external, this
can also change.
5 Identify training needs In order to identify the skills and knowledge required for that role,
an organization will need to determine the duties that the job
includes. It is quite simple to determine the skills and knowledge
necessary to be competent in a particular capacity after the tasks
for a job have been established.
Staff completion of a survey or questionnaire is another technique
to determine training needs.

always the case. In the previous arrangement, after working on a

I'm unsure of what was done and by whom.
In certain cases, I even have trouble finding the file.

It is fairly decent, but occasionally, even after a search, the file I
require is nowhere to be found. The next day, when I check, it is
always there, but not always when I want it.
User 5
It's not horrible, but it is difficult. For example, should I correct
the file myself, or has another editor already done so? There were
no errors in the file, therefore I'm positive I modified a document
that had recently been proofread by another person.

I've found it to be fairly user-friendly, and I now know where all

just to be safe, I back up all of my files every Friday afternoon.
