The scenario presented in the case study titled Reflex Systems concerns an all too common managerial dilemma encountered by Henry Rankin, a project leader in the company's information technology (IT) department responsible for overseeing the implementation of an upgraded system of customer relationship management (CRM) software. With a national sales force of 310 employees and major regional sales offices in both Los Angeles and Chicago, Reflex Systems is a viable enterprise within the wider exercise equipment industry, but the company's inability to provide effective customer service has significantly reduced the rate of follow-up sales. Rankin was directed to achieve the full adoption of new CRM technology within a 10-week timeframe by Nicole Dyer – who serves as Senior Vice President for Information Technology at Reflex Systems and is Rankin's direct superior – while the company's CEO ordered the system be installed as promptly as possible, but due to a variety of unforeseen contingencies the project has fallen behind schedule.
