Step 1: Consider the Relevant Information
Organisation: Aragon Entertainment Limited * A leading producer of adventure-based, multi-player role-playing video games
Key People: * Ramesh Patel, associate director of business development * Jeremby Gibson, quality control engineer * Maria Hernandez
Relevant Facts: * Ramesh Patel was nominated to be a part of the New Horizons Board, a select group of seniors and high-potential leaders who were hand-picked to the chart of the company’s potential future directions * “NHB” was chaired by the company’s chief innovation officer and included senior executives from key functional areas along with six high-potential employees who were nominated to serve on the NHB for nine months * Patel and Gibson were friends and had joined the company within a few days of each other and attended the same employee orientation and training sessions. * Patel, Gibson and Maria Hernandez were assigned same project * Gibson was also busy with other three high priority projects, so he wasn’t able to contribute for this project * Gibson’s unavailability had frustrated Patel * Gibson feels guilty for repetitively missing deadlines and hoped that his team would understand his problem
Inferences:
* Ramesh Patel wanted to be part of the NHB as soon as he joined the company as it was considered a centrepiece of innovation and creativity and it provided a great exposure to senior executives * For Patel this was the chance to make a positive impression on his senior colleagues as the case states repeatedly that he was very much excited
