Please do a thorough reading of the case and answer the following questions relevant to it. Your answers should be written on the Power Point Poster document that was emailed to you. You can also include graphs or images/pictures based on the way you answering. There are no optional questions so make sure that you answer all of them before you submit your group project. The deadline is Tuesday 8 of May, 2018 from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm, Office A-418.

Please answer the following questions:

· What was the problem that HUH Hospital was facing? (Brief description)

· Identify four groups of stakeholders relevant to the problem. Briefly describe the reasoning of choosing them as stakeholders.

· What kind of project the hospital decided to implement and what was the goal of it?

· What were the two major restraining factors that Dr. Young needs to consider seriously on the change he was about to initiate in HUH? (Explain)

· What were the main weaknesses/potential improvement points relevant to organizational structure identified by Dr. Young?

· What was the major issue revealed from the Sceptics group and why was important for the whole project?(Explain)

· Dr. Young had to decide where to start, who to involve, and when, and how to explain the problem so that the Skeptics would become full-on Supporters.
