Riordan Manufacturing, in planning to implement a new human resource system must make considerations and joint decisions with some of the company 's key stakeholders. Moreover, information gathering and analysis methods must be considered prior to the implementation of the system. In order to accomplish these ends, the overall scope of this new project must also be determined and taken into account during the entire development process.
In order to effectively develop this system, joint development with the company 's key stakeholders must be done. Below are some of the key decision making stakeholders that should be involved in the decision making process during the HR system 's development.
Chief Executive Officer Dr. Michael Riordan heads the corporation and is key in the company 's decision making process. His main focus is going to be making decisions that best benefit the wellbeing of the company as well as its shareholders and employees. This makes his input central to the decision making process.
As Senior Vice President of Research and Development, Kenneth Collins plays a role in the decisions made during the planning phase of the HR system in that he must anticipate needs of the corporation and its operations as they interact with human resources. These needs may not be evident to the remainder of the development team.
Hugh McCauley is the Chief Operations Officer. As such, he coordinates the corporation 's activities, policies, and mission to the benefit of the board of directors and the overall company mission goals.
Yvonne McMillan is the head of Human Resources. Her input on the development of the system is critical, as her function at Riordan is directly within human resources. As such, her input into the new and consolidated HR system will have the most direct impact on the functionality of the system. Furthermore, Ms. McMillan
