Note: At the conclusion of this case study, a set of fourteen questions suggests a framework for review and discussion. Readers are advised to read the entire case study before responding.
Introduction to the Project
Jeff Gauthier, an experienced project manager, was recently hired by the Wellington County Economic Development Agency to manage a very controversial economic development project. The project scope included:
- Numerous public information sessions
- The relocation of several businesses to a new strip mall
- The demolition of a block of businesses in the downtown core
- The development of a new downtown recreation complex
- Traffic rerouting
Because of the complexity of the project a steering committee was formed to guide Jeff through the process and to act as a liaison for Town Council so that the municipal government could be kept informed and onside.
