Green Meadows is facing issues relating to cost, profit, and lack of overall strategy and vision. A cause and effect diagram identifies great people, exceptional customer service, quality, and community as strengths, but new management or vertical integration may be needed. The best alternative is to integrate and bring in new management to capitalize on synergies while having contingency plans based on assumptions and information.

The domino effect of well-being is real. What happens in one part of your life effects another part, and the inter-connected chain of events is suddenly set into motion. You probably know this already, but dont think of it as whole-person well-being. For instance, when you have a bad day at work, and it affects you at home. We have all been there! Its time we understand the whole story with whole-person well-being. By breaking down the four dimensions of well-being -- physical, emotional, financial, and work -- you can learn about health through a new lens and begin to uncover the ways in which well-being is directly related to successful business results within your organization.

In particular, the Model provides a convenient and consistent guide for managers to determine when and how to train, coach, and discipline; and how to choose suitable leadership behaviors for each process.

Cooperation involves groups of people working together towards common goals. It allows for more efficient results than individual efforts alone. When technical and non-technical individuals collaborate, it provides a well-rounded approach that incorporates different skills.

The Virtual World is Calling. 18 Predictions and New RealitiesEdith Yeung

According to CBInsights, VR and AR startups have raised over $1 billion in funding since 2014. VR did not only rock my world, but also the world of many other industries. VR has a depth of engagement that most other medium cannot match because of the immersion it offers. From events to healthcare to travel -- VR is not simply for kids to play games, but offers new forms of experience and expression. The space is moving so fast that most people are missing a lot of the best, under-the-radar use cases that have popped up in the last couple of years. Beyond Pokemon Go, What's Next?

Editor's Notes
- #3: We looked at this wrong, Immediate are the critical issues and Basic are the really not so critical issuesNo strategy and lets say Expansion of the Business are really what were talking aboutRunning day to day business activities and getting rights, integrating and restructuring are secondary basic issues
- #6: We can start by saying that this case is not like others in the sense there is no real dilemma in the case in terms of urgent problems. The business is doing good and its young owner wants to continue his entrepreneurial success. So in our case when we think of causes and effects we want to look at all the good causes that have created the ultimate effect: success
- #7: Good to go
- #8: I just quickly summed them up into this
- #9: pretend to have a little portfolioSimple Interlocking
- #10: More Advanced
- #11: Thelatest Project
- #12: Ive put these below, but were not going to spend a lot of time on this.. More say it was a tool to look at various ways to approach the case, point being here are our alternatives#1 Status Quo go to university and keep day to day operations#2 Expand Operations hire few individuals and look for new target markets and services#3 Revise Current Design Align business to become even more of a customer service driven company hiring of cs staff and provision and review of current customer service and shortfalls. Evaluate organizational strategy and determine areas for improvement albeit long and short term goals#4 Begin vertical integration keep business as is but expand into areas which supply the business such as sod, interlocking tiles, gravel, etc. Become a distributor if possible#5 Hire Operations Manager to replace Oliver so he can focus on the bigger business isure (most likely Bob) or Hire New Oliver and have Bob be the lead site foreman so Oliver can do his own thing.
- #13: Just quick slide they cant really see and what well say is that we needed to look closer at some of the other qual and quan outputs
- #14: Hard to read so well use the next slides.
- #15: likewise
- #16: Touch on quickly
- #17: Touch on this one becauseits hard to see from far away, the point being that after out analysis of causes and effects, constraints and opportunities, main decision criteria and selected qualitative and quantitative criterias, we find that Alternatives 4 and 5 seem the best ideas for Oliver.
- #18: Well just say with 2 options it seemed important to look at the alternatives to the two, what would be the worst case of either and best of either
- #21: Could quickly entertain the idea that these two options can help each other and allow Olivers business to better expand through creating these synergies of having more ability with both supplies and labour.
- #22: The overall idea of where what we feel Oliver should do
- #23: Can change this if you want, I just wanted to show something with a timeline onto it,
- #24: same
- #25: We assume Bob wants to stay with the companyWe assume Oliver wants to keep the company and is interested in pursuing risky endeavors You assume the lawn industry will remain the same and that environmental factors will not change itWe can use the 5 blocks there to sum up what it is we generally know about the case and our own personal experiences
