Mystery of the Lost Contract Customizable Courseware

A Case Study in Effective Communication Skills

No one would argue about the importance of effective communication skills in the workplace. They help create a common focus and efficiency among those working together, as well as help avoid misunderstandings, duplicate efforts, or dropped balls that result in decreased productivity. But can you guess the true cost of poor communication in the workplace? By one estimate, it is $37 billion or $26,041 per employee per year!

This course will help you develop effective communication skills through experiential learning. You will be presented with a realistic but fictitious situation in which a provider loses the opportunity to secure a service contract. Your goal will be to identify why the provider was not ultimately selected for the job by evaluating the "evidence" or rather the communication that took place between the provider and HR representative as captured in the form of documents, meeting transcripts, and email messages.

Through reflective thinking, you will gain insight into how communication can impact the outcome of a situation and how to improve communication to achieve more successful outcomes.

When making your purchase, choose the correct subscription. Your subscription is determined by your organization's total number of persons employed, not the number of persons you intend to train. Our pricing model makes the purchase price fair for different sizes of organizations. Note: the RTL is not available for sale to training companies or consultants.

  • Enterprise License – More than 10,000 employees

How to Complete Your Purchase

Your license is determined by your organization's total number of persons employed, not the number of persons you intend to train. Simply select the appropriate subscription for your organization, add to cart, and check out. Payment for your subscription is with credit card only. 

Upon receipt of payment and approval of your license, you will receive an email with links to download your files. All files are provided in unlocked Microsoft Office format.

Annual Renewal Required for Continued Use

Your subscription license permits unlimited use of RTL content for one year from date of purchase per the terms of the EULA. Your subscription will automatically renew on the anniversary of your purchase. If you choose not to renew your subscription, all licensed content, including customized versions, must be deleted and all use discontinued.

If you purchase single RTL titles and wish to upgrade to the Complete Collection, we'll credit your library purchase for single title purchases. Contact us for details.

End User License Agreement (EULA)

By purchasing the RTL, you agree to the terms of the End User License Agreement (EULA). Review the terms of this agreement before making your purchase. The RTL is sold as an annual subscription for use by an organization for the training of its employees. The library may not be distributed, sold, shared, rented, or loaned. Digital content from HRDQ is not returnable. 

Training Companies Are Not Eligible

Under our End User License Agreement, RTL license subscriptions may not be purchased by professional training consultants or providers intending to use the content to train other organizations. Instead, professional training entities may direct their corporate clients to purchase RTL license subscriptions directly through HRDQ based on the size of the organization. Professional training providers typically assist their clients in the customization and delivery of the content. However, the license to the content remains with the benefitting organization.
