Task 1: Project Management
A.
A1A. Looking to generate additional revenue streams for my organic food market, I’ve
decided to create a new catering service. The ability to cater with locally sourced
fresh food options is an underserved market with vendors and customers requesting
more options. The catering service will be announced to celebrate the market's tenth
anniversary. This catering service will serve a radius of 25 miles from the market,
ensuring that we can make all deliveries within the allotted hour. To create buzz
about the new service, we run a promotion where the first ten businesses that sign
up for weekly catering will receive a free catered lunch. With the need for the service
and the opportunity to increase revenue, the project makes good fiscal sense now.
A1B.
Employees are significant stakeholders in this scenario; with this venture being
brand new, there will be a lot of growing pains and learning on the job. With no
existing process or procedure, the employees will be responsible for finding the
best method to ensure that the meals are cooked, delivered, and on time. This
will require a certain degree of flexibility and the ability to learn on the fly.
Customers are another relevant stakeholder in this scenario. All customers within
a 25-mile radius of the market would be eligible to receive free delivery within
one hour of placing their order. However, customers outside the radius will not
qualify for free delivery.
Another stakeholder is the suppliers. By creating a catering service, we are
creating an increased demand for locally sourced organic produce. The added
demand has the potential to generate greater revenue for the suppliers.
However, in the short term, this can potentially cause some stress on the existing
supply chain; a prime example of this is that the supplier of organic lettuce will
not have enough products for lunches already scheduled. The venture may fail if
the suppliers cannot meet the added demand.
