Human Resource Frame

1) Briefly restate your situation from Module 1 and your role.
The situation at hand is the forming of our corporation. My co-founder and Principal
filed us as a corporation without seeking my advice or opinion. Which isn’t the biggest
deal in the world but he doesn’t have as much of a financial and business background
as I do. On top of that filed for us in California, CA has some of the worse tax codes and
requires the most documentation to stay compliant with the state. We don’t want to be
filed in CA as we will be taxed at a much higher rate. I am now left with having to go
about fixing this. I need to move our corp to my preferred home state DE and seek legal
advice to see if a C-Corp is even right for us. In my current position at Vently, I am a
Co-Founder and serve as the CFO. My responsibilities include creating business
models, identifying target markets, pursuing funding opportunities, establishing the
corporate structure, and leading a team of developers to produce a Minimum Viable
Product (MVP).
2) Describe how the human resources of the organization influenced the situation.
The human resources of Vently were instrumental in the formation of the situation that
went on prior to the filing of this corporation. The hierarchical structure of the
organization meant that my Co-Founder was in a powerful position and as such could
make unilateral decisions without consulting other key stakeholders. The absence of
participative decision-making between members in the team symbolizes a deficiency in
communication and necessitates to adopt an approach that is more inclusive. Moreover,
as a result of the situation people revealed that it was critical to have various experts
and professionals taking part in major decision-making processes. This decision to file
as a C-Corp in California was made without the consideration of my financial and
business expertise, which I could’ve brought forth if amended. This emphasizes the
need to exploit human resources within the organizational structure in order to make
well-instilled decisions.
In addition, the circumstance also emphasized the importance of clear communication
channels in a team. With the other team members not being consulted and this crucial
decision coming before a late-night work session, it is also reasonable to conclude that
there was probably some kind of communication breakdown. With enhanced
communication within the human resources team of Vently, it will be possible to prevent
similar issues from happening again.
3) Recommend how you would use the human resources for an alternative course of
action regarding your case.
(Insert 2 Long Paragraph Recommendation Here to Earn Excellent)
To address the human resource issue in this case, I would support a more collective
and participatory decision-making process at organization level. It is important to have a
formal framework, which will include the CFO (me) and other team members within the
decision-making process for major corporate structure decisions including filing
locations. This strategy would ensure that decisions were made jointly, based on the
disparate knowledge held in the human resources pool.

In addition, communication training and development of a culture that values open
dialogue should be emphasized. Employees should be encouraged to share their point
of views, particularly in areas where they are knowledgeable. Moreover, creating an
atmosphere that accepts ideas from all angles will help with better informed decision
making.
From a perspective on human resource management, it is also helpful to assess the
functions and roles of key team players in order to make sure that decisions resonate
with what each individual can do best. This may entail giving them specific
responsibilities based on their strengths and this will foster a more uniform and
collaborative environment.
4) Reflect on what you would do or not do differently given what you have learned
about this frame.
Reflecting on what I would do differently in this situation in correspondence to the
human resource frame is attempting to integrate a more inclusive and communication
based organization norm. In the future decision making process, I would actively involve
key stakeholders and advisors, specifically with key expertise in the certain areas of
conversion, in order to have a better idea of possible implications of our decisions.
Certain fluent communication channels where all team members can actively contribute
is crucial to keeping all members engaged and informed in the decision making
process. Using a platform such as Slack to manage and monitor the team's
communication. Along with giving them an easy to use platform to communicate
through.
Additionally I would like to implement different training programs or workshops aimed
towards communication skills. This would encourage a more transparent and open
working environment, reducing the probability of incorrect decisions that lack proper
consultation. Being able to circumvent possible liabilities in the future will only benefit
our organization's overall success and our team's well being and morale. Overall
placing a stronger emphasis on harnessing human resources efficiently through
communication, collaboration, and a strategic allocation of roles and responsibilities.
