One of your regular clients has contacted you to see if you can take on a project on short notice. The project requires you to create a few designs for the client’s social media accounts. However, along with the new design work, you are also expected to complete some of the design work created by another freelance designer who is no longer available. The client mentions the existing designs only require some “finishing touches,” as the previous designer had nearly completed the designs.  Upon further inquiry, you find out that the previous designer had included a custom infographic and they own the rights to that design. The company owner insists that you use this design because it has gone through several rounds of ideation and approval.  Your contact list is the following:     Internal Stakeholders &    Responsibilities External Stakeholders &    Responsibilities   N/A Shelley S., CEO/company owner Sets the vision of the company Personifies the brand Provides final project approval Defines the high-level goals for the project from the    company standpoint Sets the vision of the company Personifies the brand Provides project approval  Oversees project management Defines the high-level goals for the project from the   company standpoint Sets the vision of the company Personifies the brand Provides project final approval  Defines the high-level goals for the project from the   company standpoint Sets the vision of the company Personifies the brand Provides project final approval  Defines the high-level goals for the project from the   company standpoint     Jose M., project manager Oversees the project Manages schedules and deadlines Acts as the liaison between you and the company Helps troubleshoot challenges Oversees the project Manages schedules and deadlines Acts as the liaison between you and the company Helps troubleshoot challenges     Sayema Q., marketing director Oversees the marketing campaign Focuses on guiding the project to ensure it    successfully reaches the target audience according to the project goals Oversees the visual artifacts and copy Oversees the marketing campaign Focuses on guiding the project to ensure it   successfully reaches the target audience according to the project goals Oversees the visual artifacts and copy Oversees the marketing campaign Focuses on guiding the project to ensure it   successfully reaches the target audience according to the project goals Oversees the visual artifacts and copy Scenario One Response Template Stakeholders Explain why certain stakeholders should be communicated with.

To supplement your income, you often take up additional graphic design work on a freelance basis. Your company is aware that you work on other projects and has approved it if it does not interfere with your work. The company has not made you sign a non-compete clause, which means you are free to work for anyone outside of your office hours. Recently, you were contacted by another company that is setting up a surfboard business in your town. One of your previous clients recommended you to the new company. The company has already reviewed your online portfolio and is very impressed with your work.

Your agency is designing the client’s website, and you are currently working on their “Meet Our Team” page. This page will include profiles for all the massage therapists.  While going through the copy for the various profiles, you notice one of the therapists, presumably from Asia, is being referred to as “oriental.” Specifically, the copy for this therapist mentions, “Get the best massage of your life from our qualified oriental massage therapist.” The use of the word oriental to represent a person seems problematic to you. But to get a second opinion, you show the copy to a colleague, who thinks it is fine.  Your contact list is the following:     Internal Stakeholders &    Responsibilities External Stakeholders &    Responsibilities   Olivia B., creative director Binna   C., company owner     Umesh G., project manager     Kate L., marketing director Scenario Four Response Template Stakeholders 1.
