Transcript

[MUSIC PLAYING]

It's Monday morning.

And BMI branches in multiple cities

are getting ready to join a teleconference with executives

from the main office.

Your coworkers are buzzing.

"What's this about?" asks a coworker.

"I'm not sure.

They just called the conference a few minutes ago,"

responds another coworker.

"We're on with the San Francisco office," says a third coworker.

OK.

Shh.

They're starting.

"Good morning.

Let me get straight to the point.

Our chief information officer is no longer with us.

We will be looking for a replacement.

But we need to do some preparation first.

I'd like your team to do some research on emerging

trends in our industry.

We know the questions we'll ask, but I'll

need info from your team on trends

to make sure candidates are giving us

the right kinds of answers.

For example, what would each candidate

do to prepare for the changes that are coming?

Have they thought of mitigation strategies?

What tools would they use?

What are the policies, techniques, and compliance

needs we should consider?

One last thing, I'd like you to share your findings

at our upcoming planning meeting."

You glance at your team members to see their reactions.

This is a big assignment.

"Your information sources are important,

so I want you to keep track of your sources.

Good luck."

After the meeting, your team gathers near your desk to talk.

"Guys, the CEO basically just asked

us to help hire our new boss," says one coworker.

"I guess she did, didn't she?

We have our work cut out for us," says another coworker.

You join your team in excited discussion

about this new assignment and volunteer
