Case Study
Technivara design and engineer components for the electronics industry, supplying parts for the computer, electronics, medical and automotive sectors. The company was founded in 1970 by Bill Swanky and is currently experiencing the sixteenth consecutive year of growth, so the board now feels the time is right to expand the business. Bill is very involved in the day-to-day running of the company which he likes to run in a traditional style. He tends to avoid changes to existing working practices.
Sue Young is the People Practice Manager at Technivara, and although she has been with the company for eight years, she has continued with many of the people practices that her predecessor implemented, many being paper driven. Sue is aware that if the company doesn’t change some of its practices it will be susceptible to risky decision making because the current approach to capturing and measuring people practices is weak and lacking data driven evidence. She knows that you, as the People Practice Advisor, have more up to date experience of using evidence based practice effectively. She has asked you to help her understanding of how evidence-based practice is applied in organisations. She needs to provide Bill, the Board and the rest of the People Practice Team with a persuasive case for improving current approaches as these are archaic and inadequate to meet the demands of a modern forward-thinking workplace.
Sue has asked you to complete two tasks, firstly to respond to the seven questions below and then to complete a data analysis and make recommendations based on your findings.
