Imagine you are the leader of the design department in a growing organization in a high-tech industry. Over the past three months, the sales in the organization have declined due to poor design and software malfunctions and your department has been identified as part of the problem. As the department leader, you want to involve your team in identifying and solving any problems within your department.
Using the reference below, readings, videos, and your personal experience, prepare a presentation to your team. Provide a problem-solving process to properly identify and potentially solve the problems. Justify why you believe the approaches are best for the department.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the purpose of this project is to introduce a problem-solving strategy, not to solve the problem. You do not know what is causing the problem, so solving it is not an option at this point.
Your well-crafted presentation must include 8-9 slides (not including the title and reference slides) and audio. Please include at least 4 credible references. You may use the readings in the module; however, you must include two additional sources. Your references must conform to APA guidelines.
