In the past years profits have decreased due to the evolution in the publishing industry. The Board of Harrison-Keyes, Inc. hired Meg P. McGill, to revitalize the company and gain competitive advantage within the industry. Ms. McGill's goal is to strategically plan how Harrison-Keyes, Inc. can become the industry leader. After assessing Harrison-Keys, Inc. current position the company decided to move toward introducing e- book publishing.

The Harrison-Keyes, Inc. team is experiencing issues related to inexperience, communication and inefficient project planning. These issues are causing the implementation of the e-book publishing project not to be a success. The project was not planned or organized in a manner to be successfully completed in a timely manner. The appropriate resources have not been allocated to assume the workload for implementation. The development of a project plan or assignment of a project manager has not been assigned to govern time and develop a team. Although Harrison-Keyes, Inc. is experiencing issues there is opportunity to resolve the issue to turn the project around for success through concrete project and strategic planning.
