Project Assessment Task 2
Part A — Project: Contributing to organisation development at BizOps Enterprises
You will demonstrate your skills and knowledge by completing a scenario-based project.
You receive an email from Sean Bamford, Managing Director: Business Operations.
Subject: Development plan for integrating retail outlets with online sales Hello,
At the last senior management meeting there was discussion about changing the structure of the retail operations of BizOps Enterprises.
The key factor behind this is the growing number of consumers who prefer to shop online. Although there is no evidence to indicate this is affecting BizOps retail sales figures at the moment, it is senior management’s view that we should better integrate our physical retail outlets with online sales.
As the Managing Director of Business Operations, you have been delegated the responsibility of overseeing this organisational development plan. You will report directly to senior management, as they will be jointly responsible for approving any plans that are developed.
Please refer to the development plan brief, provided below, for more details of what senior management has in mind. Refer to the ‘Instructions to the candidate’ section for a detailed list of tasks that you will need to complete for
this organisational development plan.
Regards,
Sean Bamford
Managing Director: Business Operations
Purpose
Task overview and context
Development plan brief
The BizOps Enterprises business plan is targeting an annual growth in sales of 15% over the next five years. There are many ways that have been suggested to achieve this growth, but senior management wants to focus on those
strategies that will support growth in the long term, and not just over the next five years.
Our 150 retail outlets are located strategically to ensure that we can offer a premium retail experience to more than 90% of the population. We currently
have an online sales capacity that is managed centrally and serviced through our warehouse facilities and warehouse staff.
The concern that senior management has with this current online and retail sales strategy is that they are not integrated. Here are some examples of the
types of poorly integrated customer service scenarios that exist in the current approach:
Customers will research a product online, then go to a retail outlet to make a purchase. The in-store pricing is usually higher than the online price and sales staff cannot match the price. Consequently, our retail sales staff
– make negative comments about our online sales to customers

develop the belief that our online business is directly competing with retail outlets’ business
develop low morale because they feel that the future of retail outlet sales is being threatened by online sales and their jobs are at risk.
• Customers who purchase a product online will come to the retail outlet for after-sales support. Although there is a support hotline, the customers prefer to have their problems resolved in person. The retail sales staff are highly experienced in product support, but in instances where a product was purchased online, there is a tendency to reduce and minimise the support that is offered. There have been a number of customer complaints where support has been directly refused and customers have been told they need to access the support hotline.
Retail sales staff have no access to details of sales made through the online system. This leads to a situation where BizOps operations are
segmented and it is difficult to establish a work culture that supports the whole organisation.
Warehouse staff have limited product knowledge and sales expertise. The current online approach is putting greater emphasis on them to develop sales and customer service skills. There are many negative comments coming from warehouse staff. They believe their award conditions should
change, as they are being asked to perform duties outside of their position description.
The proposed integrated approach that senior management is seeking should contain some of the following features:
• Pricing for online and retail outlets is the same.
• Customer sales record systems are integrated between online and retail outlets. Authorised retail sales staff should be able to access records of a customer’s purchase details that were made either online or through a retail outlet. Consequently, retail sales staff providing after-sale support can
record this information and use it to demonstrate achievement of key performance indicators.
• Retail outlet sales staff are integrated into the online sales system by being rostered onto the support hotline.
• Online sales are allocated to the sales budget of the nearest retail outlet.
Retail outlet performance will therefore have online sales as one of its performance indicators.
One overriding factor that senior management wouid like to achieve is the
development of a sales strategy that has a vision for the future and has no distinction between how the sale was made.
They provided an example of this as a major computer corporation that has a physical presence in major retail centres, which purely have an emphasis on product demonstration and support. Sales are made either online or in the store, but the sales vision is that returning customers will have a preference for using the online system. Consequently the online strategy is to market directly through email and social media and to promote products through a
sophisticated website. The online sales experience should exceed the physical retail store sales experience.
