35,000 tablets to over 550 schools in 23 countries, generating revenue in
hardware sales and software subscriptions.
Worlducation headquarters are in Sydney’s CBD but they have a development
team in Bulgaria, a manufacturing team in Hong Kong, and operation and
marketing staff in Colombia, Egypt, Iceland, Russia and the Philippines.
Worlducation started 2020 with a huge sale to a school in Portugal. Although it
was a great start, the context for the rest of the quarter was highly uncertain due
to COVID-19. Surprisingly the pandemic brought hundreds of new leads and
that led to an unprecedented growth that brought alongside dozens of operation
and production problems.

Section 2: Implementation Strategy

Issues Comments Contingency plans

1 Communicating administrative systems Gaining the support of individuals who will use the system or who will be
influenced by its operation is necessary for implementation. An
implementation plan will be used to lead an organization through the
procedure. Users of the system who take part will ensure that the
implementation procedure is adaptable and open to modification.
Timing When implementing a new system, timing is an important factor to take into
2
account. The implementation of a new system should have little to no impact on
how the business processes operate, if any. Additionally, it will be essential to
follow the system's implementation schedule. One tool is a PERT chart, which
illustrates the connections between the parallel activity paths.
Procedures The two types of procedures are operational (create the system and assign people
3
to carry out the system's activities) and process-oriented (provides the
instructions for performing the specific tasks needed to complete the processes).
The Procedures for quality assurance are a series of practices that provide
outcomes of the highest level.
Training and support for staff When providing training and support, you should explain to the staff the method
4
of implementation, how it functions, and what that will mean for them. The
workforce will be able to understand if the system will change right away,
gradually, simultaneously, or via a test project.
The type of instruction and support given will depend on the implementation
plan, the resources at hand, and the available budget. This can also vary based on
whether it is internal or external.
Identify training needs An company must decide what tasks the position entails in order to identify the
5
skills and expertise needed for that position. Once the duties for a job have been
identified, figuring out the knowledge and abilities required to be proficient in a
certain capacity is relatively easy.
Another method to identify training gaps is to have staff members complete
surveys or questionnaires.
