Hello
I had the following approach to the questions in the exam
Q1b… this was pretty tricky. Generally I used SAF. For Suitability I used a Pestel analysis and 5 forces… but I got really into it and this took me like 6 pages (really really bad I know). For Acceptability I analyzed the stakeholders from Mendelow`s point of view. Feasability – I already spoke of the resources that the company had in Q1a. After that I came out with 10 different strategies that the company should implement, all of them linked with the SAF analysis…
Q2a. I believe this should have been analyzed with the framework of Balogun Hope Hailey regarding change. I got through all the 7 features in the framework and explained why it did not work (Time, Scope, Diversity, Capacity, Capability, and the other 2 that I always forget:)) Also, i categorized the process with respect to Harmons matrix and explained why it should have not been automated in the first place.
Q2b i made up a formal procedure for procurement and explained why each step in the procedure would have brought advantages to the company (opposed to the current anarchic procurement process).
Q4… I only got to do part a, but only a bit on it.
My bastard mind started developping very much on each subject, so I found the exam to be really time pressured.
So, what do you think? Sounds 50?
Thanks so much
