Cango Week 1 and 2 Analysis
Week 1 Clip 1
Scenario:
Julian, the President of the Hudson Valley Business Association, places a phone call to Liz to inform her she has been nominate the Regions Business Leader of the Year and that she will be expected to deliver a speech at the next Association meeting about the "How and why of CanGo's success". During the conversation Julian goes on to describe Cango as the "Fastest Growing Company in the Hudson Valley" and as a "Success Story." Liz is obviously flattered and elated by this news and it becomes apparent how much this company and its success means to her and the fact that somebody has recognized all the effort that has been put into building this company. Following this interchange we see Liz working on her computer attempting to plan ahead for the Business Association meeting and put together a working outline or idea for her speech presentation. During what appears to be an obviously frustrating experience, Liz makes several key comments concerning Cango and how this organization came into being. Liz's first statement "How did we plan this, how did I plan this? It was an accident, we started a business and it became a success."
The second key event is while planning her speech, Liz seems to give up hurriedly after seemingly minimal effort stating "I can't do this, I won't do this."
Analysis:
Liz is obviously proud of the success of her company and the fact that the organization and she have received the attention of the Hudson Valley Business association. This is a good phenomenon; it shows that Liz takes ownership for the success or failure of CanGo and that it has become something of an extension of her. She takes great care and pride in her work. The downside becomes apparent later in this clip. We observe Liz becoming frustrated at the task of explaining how CanGo became such a success. She loses interest in planning ahead and in fact cannot find an accident. I believe the first sign of something being off kilter within the

    Getting the inventory data to key employees is crucial if CanGo wishes to run an efficient operation. Lack of inventory data, as well as a lack in other important information is one of CanGo’s most significant issues. Inventory data has to span three or four systems within CanGo, not just on the shop floor. The company has to take the appropriate steps to tie back inventory data to all of their sources. A recommended option for CanGo is to go paperless. The easiest way to create inventory management problems is to continue to use paper. Using paperwork to manage inventory is almost a guarantee to slow things, while creating inaccuracy and confusion. What order pickers need is real-time data," "Without automating data collection there will be piles of paper waiting to be keyed in, along with all of its negative repercussions." www.peaktech.com.…
