THE EFFICIENCY EQUATION

The conference room buzzes with the energy of a well-oiled machine. You've been tasked with overseeing the launch of Netflix Originals, but resources are tight. Your mission is to optimize efficiency by matching the right team to the right job while minimizing overall costs.

Mission Brief: Imagine the launch of Netflix Originals on a limited budget. You have four highly efficient teams – Content Development, Production Cost, Legal, and Marketing & Promotion – each with their unique strengths and cost structures. Your task is to predict the budget each team would require for four essential tasks:

Developing a captivating script for an original series.
Estimating and negotiating production costs.
Securing rights and navigating legal complexities.
Crafting a compelling marketing and promotional campaign.

Dilemmas and Conflicts:

Cost-Effectiveness
Matching Skills to Tasks
The Big Picture.

Your Moment of Truth: Armed with data on each team's historical performance, cost structures, and expertise in specific tasks, you unveil your strategic resource allocation plan. You break down your predicted budgets for each team across the four tasks, highlighting your rationale and demonstrating how this strategy minimizes overall costs. You explain why Team A, known for their creative storytelling, is best suited for script development, while Team B, with their negotiation skills, should handle production costs. You justify assigning legal matters to Team C, given their expertise, and marketing & promotion to Team D, leveraging their proven track record. Some executives raise concerns about potential limitations in certain team assignments, while others appreciate your data-driven approach and cost-conscious strategy.

Will your resource allocation plan convince The Originals of your ability to navigate tight budgets? Can you demonstrate a clear understanding of each team's strengths and weaknesses, while ensuring optimal matchings that minimize overall costs? The success of Round 1 hinges on your ability to analyze data, make strategic decisions, and present your plan in a clear and compelling manner. The future of Netflix Originals depends on your ability to launch efficiently within budgetary constraints.
