Report on your present or previous experiences in the workplace.How best would you describe how your organisation learnt.

My report:

I was once as an intern in an industrial association which belongs to the local Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

In this association, the workforce is comparatively elder, and almost all are retired from military or the relatives of soldiers, and enjoy the proximate salary, welfare, and benefits with the bureau’s civil servants. Generally speaking, their job is to assistant bureau’s civil servants, to inspect the business license and business scope of some district companies.

When I entered this association, there was using a new on-line system. The staff needs to input those companies’s balance sheet and profit statement, and then the staff would get those companies’ operation situation which was automatically analyzed by the system. However, those information provided by the system is for reference only. The staff needs to find out the reasons why some financial data does not meet the system’s standard. During my internship, I found the most problem they faced was not analysis those financial data. In contrast, staffs had many difficulties in handling this system. For example, they had difficulties in inputting company’s balance sheet and profit statement. In details, they could not adjust their on-line system, because they did not know how to input the correct data in the correct space.

The bureau once organized some lectures to assist those staffs, but the effect is not striking. When I entered this association, my main job is to help them input those data. After some try, I discovered that the main point which confused the staffs was the different description between the on-line system and company’s financial statements. As a result, they always put the data to the wrong space, and made the statements unbalanced.

Due to this system was bought from a financial company, the bureau could not edit its programming language, the only way we could do was to adjust it. The way we took was to find the relations between the on-line statements and company’s financial statements. Then we recorded the corresponding formula, which help us to discover the correct data we needed. One month later, the efficiency was remarkable promoted.
