Post-Module Group Assignment
Now that you have completed module 3, we want to offer you the opportunity to put your knowledge and takeaways into practice. In your designated groups, please complete the following exercise. Each group should nominate one individual to be the spokesperson at this week’s debrief session. You will have 5 minutes to present.
- You work in the HR department for a company that is in dire need of restructuring. The managing director agrees that changes need to be made and has asked the HR team to develop a strategic human resource planning agenda to be implemented in one week.

- Please assign roles to each member of the team as this is a group assignment.
- The spokesperson should prepare to present your group’s plan and answer any questions raised by others.
