You put together a very thorough list of stakeholders for assessment. Which stakeholders would you include in the Task analysis phase? I really liked the fact you're including the customers in the Person analysis? What about including the Suppliers in this stage of analysis? <br />Great idea to start the assessment process with a meeting of the stakeholders to define the process and get their support. <br />Due to the diversity and dispersed nature of the employees and stakeholders, the use of online questionnaires when feasible is important. Surveys followed by site observations is an effective approach to verifying your findings. A very well designed assessment plan.<br />MikeMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991592988238203005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471526272085944518.post-30027650747912532302012-05-13T16:32:56.100-07:002012-05-13T16:32:56.100-07:00Hi Folashade,

We have several Whole Foods store here in Houston. One of the interesting quotes I found reported from the Wall Street Journal,"The upscale grocer is expanding beyond its traditional urban haunts into suburban markets, and in the process trying to shed the reputation that earned it the nickname "Whole Paycheck," (http://www.newser.com/story/139770/whole-foods-trying-to-lose-whole-paycheck-rep.html) Did you uncover any information that discussed their high prices?<br /><br />Patricia Kpkuskoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129272821573631289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471526272085944518.post-89262536382046201702012-05-13T16:31:19.275-07:002012-05-13T16:31:19.275-07:00Neal,

I will like to research and get more accurate information. On the other hand, I am not surprised about the monopoly of "Monsantos" I watch a video feb, 2012 when I was getting my food license re-certification. I recalled that name. Part of the discussion on the video highlight the experience of local farmers about poultry and seedling, lawsuits and others. Like I said earlier, I will like to get more information on this issue.Folashade Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865799411969830285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471526272085944518.post-15032366755601776062012-05-12T22:20:29.082-07:002012-05-12T22:20:29.082-07:00Hi Folashade,

When I would have family parties I would purchase my meat from them knowing I would get healthy cuts of meat. I was having a conversation with a friend about comparing Whole foods with Trader Joe's and he said there was a report that Whole foods is not purely natural. So I went looking to see if it was true and found this; http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/organic-elite-surrenders-to-monsanto/<br />Based on this information what doyou think about Whole Foods core values now?<br />-NealNeal Markyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00925130317617378897noreply@blogger.com
