Ms. Harriet (H) Rose (R) Job was found dead – at her workplace. This is a “police procedural” – conducted by detective Marc S. Miller who explores the Crime at the Crime Scene. The detective squad determines that there are many suspects and other “persons of interest” including: “Benny Fits” (Benefits), “Pai Roal” (Payroll), “Harry R. Is” (HRIS), Bebe Boomer, Cher Holder (Shareholders), Ed Konomy (the economy), Mel Lenial (Millennial), Sue “Sis” Stems, etc..; all of who have specific motives and opportunity.
Find out if Ms. H. R. Job was targeted. Was her demise because she had minimal or no CLOUT or influence to her peers and within her organization? Was it because she had no influence or personal visibility? Was it because she refused to embrace change or any new technology? Was it because she was considered a “loner”? Maybe Ms. H.R. Job was unfamiliar with the concept of adding “Value” to her organizations. Find out what led to her demise and at the same time how to protect yourself.
