I am unsure how specific to go when answering this question for OC - when discussing option 1, should I talk about specific trends in different countries / would I be expected to propose what team should be added to which office? or speak in a more abstract way highlighting the likely factors and consequences (on the assumption that the team hire in what ever office it is is one where there is a definite concrete need)?:
Imagine that you are a member of the
Osborne Clarke internal employee forum. You have been asked to provide feedback on a confidential proposal which would result in significant investment into one of two areas:
Option 1 - A team hire into one of
Osborne Clarke's smaller international offices which would allow that location to offer new legal expertise in their jurisdiction; or
Option 2 - A team hire into OC Solutions which would expand the teams' ability to innovate client service delivery.
The investment into both of these options would be equal, and it is not possible to split the investment between the two options. Which one would you choose? Please use the following space to outline your rationale. Within your submission you should outline the key factors that you have considered in making your decision, the reasons why you have chosen this option, and any potential impacts to the firm.
@Jessica Booker @Amma Usman and anyone else with insight on this please respond - I'm just not sure how to attack this question. TIA!
