Case study: “Multi Projects”

First Draft
Evaluate the case and propose a solution. Prioritise the steps to be taken in your approach, be systematic and motivate your assertions.
After examining the “Multi Projects Inc.” case, it is clear that the rapid expansion of this company has both the employees, and their clients chasing after very big results without the proper planning before the implementation to start, and going about their execution of the desired projects in the wrong way. During this evaluation, we will analyse the communication channels, determining why there is a problem between the employees communicating. We will determine how we will go about the best way to start the “Growin Project”, how to devise the correct project proposal, organizational structure, resource utilization, and compiling the most effective project team for the Growin Project, and still to accommodate current/existing projects.
Multi Projects Inc. has a Matrix organizational structure, but is ineffective; the employees have formed their own communication channel, and completely ignoring the proper communication structure that is already in place. Completely cutting the ‘functional managers’ out, and discussing new projects with the ‘functional employees’ themselves, over ruling the authority of the higher communications.
Multi Projects Inc. taking on projects in the range from $20 000 to $1 Million, and with a project duration ranging from 1 month, to 2 years, makes it completely possible for a project manager, or any of the other employees to be a part of multiple projects. All determined by the value versus duration of a project. Should the value of the project be too high in a short completion period, it is completely understandable that you would want the relevant assigned employee to be involved in that specific project alone, giving that project monopoly
