Compact Cases Activity Collection

Streamline Your Training with These 44 Case Studies

Why spend your valuable time writing case studies when HRDQ has done the dirty work for you? The Compact Cases Activity Collection is a customizable and reproducible collection featuring 44 training situations.

Compact Cases helps initiate the process of learning how to deal with a variety of organizational processes. By first reading about the situation and then sharing their reactions to it, participants become aware of important issues and the various perspectives they already have about them.

The value of the case can then stretch to include ways to improve each situation. This includes action planning that motivates participants to follow through after the workshop.

How It Works

Compact Cases Activity Collection consists of 44 fully reproducible case studies. Each case offers a short hypothetical situation or scenario that poses a question or problem that participants must try to address or solve. In doing so, participants uncover more about crucial training concepts. 

Training topics include

• Leadership
• Communication
• Negotiation
• Management development
• Team building
• Change management
• Conflict

This activity collection is available as a digital download in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, which is fully reproducible.
