¶ … DSS Consulting and their recent shift in business model. This happenstance came about because the founders of the company moved on to other endeavors. Indeed, the changeover is necessary because the founders were the driving force of the business and where their customers came from and their departure requires an entirely new business model and business priorities. The case study is mostly a tracking of the dialog and actions between Meg Cooke and Chris Peterson. There is a large project that is part of the changeover that is worked on for six months.

This is because there apparently cannot be a transfer of those contacts to the people that now run the company.
The other issue was an eventually scrapping of the scheduling/budgeting plan altogether. One very troubling factor that suggests this was less than wise was that the decision-makers and people necessary for project buy-in were not all that engaged in terms of…
