This business can face financial issues in the case of learning and development programs. Lack of business sponsorship may raise a financial crisis at the very initial stage of this Go Native Project. Because of the financial crisis, the organization can face delay in their project. Moreover, the new technology adoption is another issue due to absence of the sufficient project requirements. Lack of proper project management can be a huge issue for implementing any program or adopting any new technology, which may lead to stay them behind any other company.
Root cause analysis can be used as the alternative solution. This is one of the simple powerful methods for practical problem solving. This method includes four-step methodology for identifying the project issues. This tool will help in distinguishing the key cause of the problems from the other general factors so that the corrective measures can be taken (Dosko?il and Lacko 2019). By knowing the key cause of the problem or any issue, the most practical solution can be chosen, which will meet the specific requirements of the project. This will also help in getting out of the problems.
