You may relate to any of the scenarios discussed in the course, to any scenarios experienced in your work places or a new scenario you have read about. Suggest change management theories or practices that would help facilitate continuous PI activities.

Specifically, select a PI scenario as suggested above. (1) Very briefly describe the scenario. (2) What are the potential legal implications if the performance or quality issue is not addressed or is not addressed properly?
