　　In this conversation, Ben Mathews, who’s responsible for putting together a team for a high-priority project, is talking to various department heads to resource the project.


　　Ben: Good morning, everyone. Sorry about the short notice,but the CEO just informed me that the board has accepted the project for expansion to the East coast as we defined it, but they want it done in 4 months, which is 1 month shorter than the timeframe we proposed. I’m getting the milestones revised right now, but based on the requirements, I need to know who’s available for the project team. Jenny, let’s start with you. We need an experienced reporting analyst.

　　Jenny: Ken Green’s our best bet for this type of project.

　　Ben: When can he start?

　　Jenny: I’ll offload some of his current responsibilities, so he can start almost right away.

　　Ben: Fine. How about you, Nigel. Who can look after the office space? According to the template, we’ll need 12,000 sq. ft. in the downtown core.

　　Nigel: Uh, let’s see... Jake Williams could start in a few days. He has numerous contacts on the East coast.

　　Ben: OK. Wanda, we need a materials specialist to purchase office equipment and supplies, get rental cars, etc. Who can handle that for us?

　　Wanda: Sherry Atchison’s my choice. She’s an expert at getting quality material and staying under budget.

　　Ben: I’ll go along with that. Last but not least, Lyle, since we’re under tighter time restraints, I’ll need someone to assist me with workflow management. What’s your recommendation?

　　Lyle: Julie Stevens can help you there, and the timing’s just right. She’s just finishing another major task.

　　Ben: Alright, everything’s settled. I’ll talk to HR about staffing tomorrow. I’m setting the project execution start for Monday. Let’s go for it!

　　在这段对话中，一个高优先级项目的小组负责人Ben Mathews正在与各个部门领导交谈，为项目出谋划策。

　　Ben: 各位早晨好，首先对仓促通知各位表示抱歉，但CEO刚刚告知我董事会已经通过了我们定义的那个东海岸扩张项目，不过他们希望在4个月之内完成，这就比我们所预计的进度提前了一个月。我正在修改项目中的重要事项，但是根据该项目的要求，我需要知道谁参加项目小。Jenny，就从你开始吧，我们需要一个资深的报告分析师。

　　Jenny: 对这种项目来说Ken Green是我们之中最优秀的。

　　Ben: 他什么时候可以开始？

　　Jenny: 我会减少他现在的工作量，那么他几乎就可以立刻开始了。

　　Ben:好的，那你呢，Nigel？谁来负责办公地点？根据模板，我们在市中心需要一个12，000平方英尺的地方。

　　Nigel: 嗯，让我看看….. Jake Williams可以在几天内开始，他在东海岸有广泛的关系。

　　Ben: 好的。Wanda,我们需要一个物资专家来采购办公设备和用品，以及租车。谁能为我们处理？

　　Wanda: 我选择Sherry Atchison。她擅长采购高品质的材料，同时又不会超出预算。

　　Ben: 就这么办。最后，Lyle，由于时间紧迫，我需要一个人协助我做工作流程管理，你推荐谁？

　　Lyle: Julie Stevens可以在这方面帮你。而且时间也刚刚好，她刚完成了另一项重要工作。

　　Ben: 好的，一切都办妥了，我会跟人力资源部谈有关人员安排。我将安排项目在星期一开始实施。让我们开始做吧.
