Not sure if it's just the people, could be a tech issue too.

I think it's more about the organization not adapting to the change.

Definitely a process issue, they should've trained the sales team better.

I think the answer could be "People." The sales team might not have been properly trained or motivated to switch to the new system.

I feel like this is similar to that practice question we did about change management. It seems like the organization didn't fully prepare the team for the transition.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the processes might have been overlooked. If they still prefer hard copies, maybe the new process wasn't clear enough?

I remember we discussed how important it is to consider the people involved in a system change. If the sales team isn't on board, it could really impact the benefits.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The fact that the sales team is resisting the new system points to a lack of consideration for the human element - the people side of the POPIT model. That's likely the answer.

Okay, let's see. The issue seems to be that the sales team is still using paper copies, even though the system was meant to be paperless. That suggests the project didn't fully consider the people aspect of the POPIT model.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions the project went well, but the expected benefits weren't realized. I'll need to think carefully about which POPIT element that could be related to.

This seems like a straightforward question about the POPIT model. I think the key is to identify which element of the model the project didn't fully consider.

I'm a bit confused by the different types of providers mentioned - MVCO, MBHO, DHMO. I'll need to make sure I understand what each of those acronyms mean.

I'm a bit confused by the options here. Smart View and Essbase are mentioned, but I'm not sure if those are considered "user interfaces" for Planning data forms. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I understand the differences.

I think the correct answer is C. People. The project didn't consider the impact on the sales team's behavior and their reluctance to adopt the new paperless process. Rookie mistake.

I'd say D. Organisation. The company didn't properly align the new system with its organizational structure and processes. Probably didn't get buy-in from the sales team.
