Vision and Mission

A Vision Statement defines the optimal desired future state. It outlines where you

want to be. Communicates both the purpose and values of your business. It is the

mental picture of what an organization wants to achieve over time. It provides

guidance and inspiration as to what an organization is focused on achieving in five,

ten, or more years. It is function as leading all employees understand their work every

day ultimately contributes towards accomplishing over the long term. And also, vision

is written succinctly in an inspirational manner that makes it easy for all employees to

repeat it at any given time. Leaders may change, but a clearly established Vision

encourages people to focus on what's important and better understand organization-

wide change and alignment of resources. However, defining an organization's Vision

is not always easy for senior leadership to do.

Our Vision

1. To provide safe and healthy work environment for employees

2. To continuously engage, communicate and provide training to employees and

business partners

3. To be the leading corporation in delivering sustainable growth

KRIMSON TECH

business partners. In order to improve their dedication to company and guide toward

the mission. Working in a comfortable and friendly environment able to improve the

product and service quality. Employees are able to perform extremely well without

any pressure and hesitation in such manner. Secondly, we tend to continuously

engage, communicate and provide relevant training to our employees and business

partners to promote and improve the quality, environment and management system.

Creating an opportunity for employees to learn and grow. We try to bring up more

and more talented employees to achieving new levels of personal and professional

construction and development. A Mission statement defines the present state or

purpose of an organization. A Mission statement talks about how you will get to

where you want to be. Defines the purpose and primary objectives related to your

customer needs and team values. Mission statement is written succinctly in the form

of a sentence or two, but for a shorter timeframe than a Vision statement. The period

can be one to three year time. It is something that all employees should be able to

articulate upon request. Some businesses may refine their Mission statement based on

changing economic realities or unexpected responses from consumers. A mission

statement may change, but it should still tie back to your core values, customer needs

and vision. Understanding the Mission gives employees a better perspective on how

their job contributes to achieving it, which can increase engagement, retention, and

productivity. Having a clearly defined Mission statement also helps employees better

understand things like company-wide decisions, organizational changes, and resource

allocation, thereby lessening resistance and workplace conflicts. Mission statements

explain your organization's foundation, so change should be kept to a minimum.

Training and Development

Training

A program organized by an organization to develop employees’ knowledge and skills

based on the requirements of their jobs. It is a process where employees get the

opportunity to learn the core skills and adapt competencies to allow them to complete

their job. Training is a short term program which focuses on the present situation, to

improve the working performance of the employees.

Development

An organized activity in which the manpower of the organization learns and grows,

which can be classified as self-assessment act or self-management. It is a systematic

on-going procedure where employees learn to enhance their conceptual theoretical

knowledge. Development is not only limited to a specific task, but aims to improve

employees’ personality and attitude which will aid them in facing future challenges. It

is a long term program where employees prepare themselves for future challenges.

Procedure

Our selected trainees will be listed down accordingly. Before providing the necessary

training for the trainees, we must understand their abilities, strengths and limitations.

This is to help the company provide training in a more effective way, focusing on

which parts we need to strengthen in a potential employee as well overcoming their

limitations. For example, if we know a trainee is good in technical skills such as

tendering and measurements but weak in management skills, we will be able to focus

more on their limitations by giving training in aspects of project management or

leadership training to help him in enhancing his leading capabilities. Next, since the

trainee is good in tendering and measurement, the company could send him for BIM

training where he or she is able to have a better understanding. After training, we

could assign him or her into a group of people lead the team in practicing the use of

BIM in our company. Furthermore, to prepare employees in becoming future

managerial employees, they should know how the company works and functions. We

will place them in every department like the human resources department, contract

department as well as construction department for a certain period of time. By doing

this, they will be able to learn and understand how each department functions, how

these departments are interconnected to one another and the whole process of the

company. It will also help them understand the culture of the company which allows

them to work more efficiently.

Becoming a managerial employee in not only assigning workload to employees. They

should know every detail of the work given in order for them to supervise and guide

his or her team. In every department, the HOD will be asked to evaluate the trainees.

That way, we will be able to provide the necessary training or seminars according to

what the trainees really need to enhance their performance, overcome limitations and

expand their capacity.

After training, trainees are given the opportunity to practice what they have learned.

The company will assign our trainees into specific departments or groups of people

according to the training they have experienced. At the same time, they will also be

assigned under different managerial employees for mentorship purposes. If the

trainees face any difficulties or challenges, he or she will be able to refer to their

mentors for guidance. Throughout the mentorship, mentors will observe their mentees

on how much they have applied on what they have learned and how they develop

themselves. This is fairly important, but it is even more important for the employee to

recognise self-assessment, improve and develop themselves for further goals. This is

one of the most important criterions for any managerial employee. Every three

months, mentors will have a reflection section with their mentees to evaluate their

performances for the past few months along with advice on how to improve

themselves. After a year or two, mentors will be asked to write reports to evaluate the

performance and growth of their mentees. The top level managerial department will

take consideration of the trainee choices through these reports and determine whether

these trainees are suitable for whichever available position and department.

Information Technology and Management

Storing and protecting information

With the use of information technology, a company is able to protect their valuable

records in an electronic storage system. According to an article in Science Daily,

information technology security engineering systems protect your electronic

information from being hacked or wiped out during a technological

disaster. Electronic security engineering means your valuable records will remain

untouchable.

Automated Processes

In business, most workers are usually busy with lots of works to complete within a

certain duration, so they must look for ways to do their works faster. Information

technology improves our company's efficiency by developing automated processes to

take the burden off our staff. In turn, our employees are free to work on other things

while the computer runs their reports, creates queries, tracks projects and monitors

financials.

Work Remotely

Information technology systems make the staff more flexible in their work by

allowing remote access to the company’s electronic network. Thus, the staff can

choose their time to do work either at home or somewhere else. This accessibility

allows you to increase the productivity of the work assigned to you because the

assigned works will be pending even when you are not physically in the office.

Communication

Communication is very useful and vital in the business world as information

technology provides the useful assets to communicate faster and effectively. Through

new technology such as email and video-conferencing, communications will be

improved within a business and also to external customers. Communication between

branches or even between countries will be improved.

Organisations use different software packages for a variety of tasks and activities. The

examples of these software used are:

Word processing – to create and type business letters, memos and reports.

Spreadsheets – to calculate financial information such as sales figures, cash

budgets and also to create bar charts and graphs from such data to make

evaluation.

Databases – to keep records of employees such as their address, date of birth

and medical information.

Desktop publishing – to create professional newsletters, staff, magazines,

books or other publications.

Presentation – To communicate or present information on new products or

market research findings to customers, clients, employees or management. It

can be used for training purposes also.

Strategic Significance

Information technology is changing the way most companies are operating nowadays.

This involves the process in which companies implement to create or manufacture

their products. Basically speaking, the entire package of physical goods, services and

information companies are reshaped to provide an even better experience for

customers or users. We strive to implement strategic significance by reshaping our

services, mainly on how our quantity surveyors provide their services in any projects

given. For example, if we were given a two billion dollar project, we cannot possibly

hire more than a hundred quantity surveyors to complete bills of quantities and tender

documents just for one single project. This is where information technology comes

into play, where just one software can complete a hundred man workload within

months without having to establish costs of over-hiring of quantity surveyors.

Establishment of information technology can overtake most companies who may have

not established information technology as a part of them. However, this may depend

on the amount of money, time and energy are appropriately allocated on the proper

segmentations of information technology in the company. A small miscalculation or

surplus of investment in the wrong field may result in an extensive loss, losing our

competitive advantage over other companies.

Information Management

Information management is the management of organizational process and systems

that acquire, create, organize, distribute and use information.

Reason to manage information:

To save time and money – viewing the past works from another colleagues,

this makes the task easier to do than redo it again.

To monitor the company’s progress – by keeping all the records, the

management will be enable to figure out what are the areas that benefits the

company the most. Therefore, improvements can be carried out if necessary.

To improve efficiently and productivity – by categorising all the information,

the employees will find it easy to refer when needed.

To reduce uncertainty or risk – by having all the information of a product or

services like writing every single detail, this will allow the employees to refer

back whenever he or she needed it.

Computer Software Implemented

Aconex

Aconex is a very big platform that provides companies transparency and control from

the moment a project is received. If there is an emergency where a file in a personal

desktop is lost, a user can always log in to Aconex under a company and retrieve the

data needed. This software can be accessed anywhere by anybody who are involved

in the project itself.

As like any other construction company, BIM and tenders are the main factors that

concern most owners, and the construction industry can get very messy if every party

has to meet another party just for a confirmation on a small part of a project. That is

why Aconex allows our company to put up a project where employees are able to

view any comments or updates to a project directly. The surplus point is, this software

can be accessed anytime and anywhere. To ensure that our projects do not get leaked

out for a risk of sabotage, we make sure that any information that is uploaded onto

Aconex cannot be extracted out into an external source. This ensures that outside

parties who do not have access to an Aconex account under our company’s profile

cannot access our projects.

Benefits:

a) Owners can spot problems right on hand before employees hand in their parts.

b) Can be accessed anywhere by any relevant party. .

c) Very secured and information is only accessible explicitly by project

members.

d) No limit to data or participants.

e) Coordinated file distribution with unlimited BIM size models.

f) Increased productivity with reduced printing costs.

Toggl

Toggl is a software that is mainly used to keep track of the time allocated for any

projects on hand. It logs in how much time is taken for a project or task to complete

and how much time is left for a project. This software that is very easy to use where

even the most illiterate person is able to use it well. Our company uses this software

for employees to ensure that they complete their parts of a project in time. This

implements active timeliness which ensures employees are always on time in report

or billing hand-ins. It is available on every user platform like computers or mobile

phones.

Most of the time, employees have a hard time keeping track of their projects or tasks

because of overwhelming work. Due to this problem, we have decided to implement

Toggl as our time tracking software. Whenever a task or project is uploaded, it is set

up with Toggl to put employees on track of their tasks for their respective projects.

This allows employees to make sure that whatever they are doing are on track, thus

allowing for early report submissions or what not.

Benefits:

a) Implement timeliness in employees.

b) Boosts productivity as it is easy to use.

c) Can be accessed even without any source of Internet connection or mobile

service.

Quickbooks

An online accounting service that aids companies in any accounting issue. This

software helps monitor the company’s cash flow, create business reports or anything

that is financially related. It is easy to set up and is customisable to a user’s needs.

Another feature of Quickbooks is that it is now very simple for employers to pay

employees as this software automatically pays employees according to a certain

period of time set for each employee.

Our company is a big one and having to rely on a specific department to handle all the

financial issues or statements can be hectic for our employees. This not only reduces

productivity by refraining from our employees from completing other tasks but also

increases cost to complete or overcome financial statements. That is why we use

Quickbooks, to provide us a let off burden of having to go through most financial

issues without any problems.

Symfact

An online software that effectively manages all contract types and processes while

highlighting the risks and obligations needed to fulfil by a company in a contract. It is

very secure as well as transparent making it suitable for big or small business entities.

As a company which is mainly involved in contractual obligations, we cannot afford

to make mistakes in this department. That is why we make sure everything goes

smoothly by using Symfact. Our employees can keep track of every contract our

company deals with easily with a few clicks on their computers.

Skype

Skype is an online software that provides the bridge of communication between two

or more people, no matter how far either parties are. It allows users to use video calls

as a basic form of communication to communicate with other people in other parts of

the world. At most of twenty-five people can be added into a group.

For our company, we have decided to use Skype as our communication software as

this allows us to have face to face discussions or conferences without having to travel

far away to other regions of the world. For example, if one of our clients are situated

in a different part of the world, then Skype will allow us to communicate face to face

with one another.

Information Technology

WAN

A computer network that spans a relatively large geographical area. Typically, a

WAN consists of two or more local-area networks (LANs).

Computers connected to a wide-area network are often connected through public

networks, such as the telephone system. They can also be connected through leased

lines or satellites. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.

Basecamp

Basecamp’s unique blend of tools is everything any team needs to stay on the same

page about whatever they’re working on. It is built with complicated project

timelines, message boards and share files among all the team members. It can keep all

your workers on task while letting everyone else know what other team members are

up to. It can even track project time on a per-member basis, for creating detailed

billing and reports when the job is done.

Vyew

With Vyew, anyone can host an Internet session that lets scattered colleagues work

together on a project in real time. This Web conferencing platform gives you a very

simple whiteboard where you can upload documents for discussion, share your

desktop, or create designs from scratch.

Benefits of Vyew:

a) It’s easy – no extra installations required.

b) It’s compatible – PC, MAC, Linux powerpoints etc

c) Conferencing features – white boarding ,video conferencing , screen

sharing

d) Collaboration features - continuous rooms are always saved and always-

on. Contextual discussion forums, voice-notes, track and log activity.

APPENDIX

The team was divided into three groups according to Tasks 1, 2 and 3. Lee Kim

Thiam was made leader of the group to supervise the other members for their parts of

their projects.

Lee Kim Thiam Lee Kim Thiam

Composed and compiled report and slides

Manager for Task 3

Time keeper

100%

Wong Geng Sen Manager for Task 2

Responsible for Task 1 and Task 2

100%

Than Lek Mei Responsible only for Task 1 50%

Parvesh Ferag Responsible for Task 3 90%

Bo Yong Khong Responsible for Task 1 65%

Gregory Ho Fung Chean Responsible for Task 2 100%

Everyone in the group received a 100% except for Bo Yong Khong and Than Lek

Mei as they contributed the least to the group. Other reasons included not being aware

of the existence of their project or no proper response when meetings were made or

held. Despite those setbacks, they managed to complete their parts of the work.

It was difficult to allocate tasks accordingly based on their capabilities as Gregory and

Enoch were among the more outstanding members in the group. Parvesh was willing

to take up any task given. Than Lek Mei was not entirely aware of the due date or

meetings the group had and was allocated the easier task to complete. Bo Yong

Khong was trying his best throughout the assignment although he did not respond to

the messages or contacts we made to him. However, he managed to come up with a

proper vision and mission for the company. Lee Kim Thiam led the group by

allocating the tasks and explaining what each of the members were to do for their

respective tasks. The team was mildly efficient and could definitely use much better

leadership by taking care of the members more. There were definitely

misunderstandings but all was resolved in a short period of time.
