HR Business- Solving a Business Problem--Only for Essayguru

Original problem statement:

In order for RPZ to continue to sustain its rapid growth without putting their integrity into question, they will have to supplement consultants through outsourcing until everyone have been trained. Cross training is going to be an essential part in their continued growth and there is no way RPZ will be able to continue to function day to day if they don’t have enough consultants who are trained in social media analytics. The only way this will be possible is if they outsource and get everyone trained. Once this has been completed, they will have enough consultants to carry the load and business will go on.

These sources will support my problem statement by further explaining the advantages of outsourcing while RPZ Analytic cross train their current consultants to be well rounded and familiar with both traditional and social media marketing. They will also explain the disadvantages of not outsourcing and the potential monetary and clientele loss due to not being able to provided clients the marketing options they advertised during the recruiting process.

I did not revise my problem statement because I believe that it supports the ultimate problem with the merger. They don’t have enough consultants to support the number of new clients the sales department was bringing in.
