Partners do not have any hurry, but keen in having a steady growth with careful investment.

further expansions. They have already established the head office in the heart of Colombo
and planning to expand immediately to at least 3 major cities with considerable opportunities
for training and development.
In its expansion phase, the partners have decided to recruit additional staff to meet the
needs of the clients. By considering the importance of the concept, ‘hiring for attitude and
training for skill’, Oveta places utmost importance on the level of employee performance.
Recruiting the right person for the right job is one of the core principles of Oveta in its
journey to success.
The two partners however, have decided to get some advice from Z-Com; a well-known
management consultancy firm in Colombo. Adrian intends to look after the marketing and
business relations of the business while Jude is happy with overlooking the entire operations
aspect of the business. The two partners have scheduled an important meeting with the Z-
Com Business Consultant to give inputs to get a good proposal to expand their business.
Assume that you are the Z-Com Business Consultant who is going to develop the proposal
for Oveta Consultants. Consider the following tasks to develop this proposal as per the
information given above.
