HR: Yes, it should all be up on the company website by the end of the week.

C: Good. I just want everyone to be clear about where their division fits into the company structure.

HR: What about that confusion as to whom the Project Managers would be reporting to? Has that been sorted out yet?

C: Yes, they’ll be reporting to James Hu.

HR: And do you still plan to meet with all the company managers to set out the new management guidelines?

C: Yes, I’m going to write to them all this week to give an outline of our new management practices.

HR: Right, do you want me to help you draft that?

C: No, but I’ll need you help in putting together my presentation.

HR: And you and the board have agreed on the specifics.

C: Yes, we’re going to be focusing on open management, horizontal management structures, and so on.

HR: OK, well let me know when you need some input from me.

C: For now I’d prefer you to concentrate on sorting out all the details for the management training course.

HR; It’s all under control. We’ve selected the training company we want to use now-Future Consulting.

C: Oh good. How long is the course going to last?

HR: It’s going to be every Wednesday afternoon for two months.

C: And what made you choose them?

HR: Well cost apart, they offer the most comprehensive package-they cover leadership, team and morale building, motivation, cost management, everything really.

C: Will you be going along too?

HR: Yes, to see what the course is like really-but I’m sure I’ll learn something!
