In this case, you are preparing an after action memorandum for Barbara Balance. Scenario Shortly after the close of the timeframe covered by the case study, Colleen Keenan came to Balance and asked to be reassigned to her old position. She felt that the passive and sometime active resistance to her appointment was just too much. Although Balance tried to get her to remain, Keenan was insistent and after Balance agreed to the transfer, Keenans final comment as she left was, It probably was a mistake in the first place! Barbara Balance wanted to make sure that when the next hire that provides diversity to a job series traditionally confined to a single group or when the next attempt to change deeply ingrained attitudes that undermine the professionalism of the workplace occurs, a similar failure …could never happen again. She asked you to prepare a memorandum describing what might have been done differently to prevent the undermining of her, and the administration of Yellow Bluffs initiative. As such, you have been specifically asked for recommendations.
