Case 2
TTC have recently launched a water purifier focusing on the bottom of the pyramid i.e. the rural market. During the process they hired some of the world class consultants from around the world. Unfortunately things have not worked for them. And now they have hired you as the team member of new consulting team. You are an HR specialist, and Mr. CEO is expecting a lot from you.
What would be your contribution as an HR Specialist to make this project a successful venture? Give justifications to the decisions you have taken.
