Bjorn Ericksen Project Strategy AnalysisBjorn Ericksen has been chosen as the project manager for his country to get a new sailboat ready for the Whitbread World Sail Boat race. This race is a nine month race around the world. In the last few years, about 14 countries have entered sailboats in the race. The sailboats in the race represent the latest technologies and human skill that each country can muster.
Bjorn has been chosen as the project manager because of his past experience as a sailing master helmsman and because he has been voted “the best designer of racing sailboats in the world.” What Bjorn is now up against is time and the money that it will cost to compete the project. Bjorn and others would like to have the sailboat finished as quick as possible so that their countrys team and train on the boat that they would be racing with instead of last years boat that they will be training in until the new boat is finished. Bjorn had to pick two people to be team leaders for the project and he has chosen Karin Knutsen (as chief design engineer) and Trygve Wallvik (as master helmsman). Karin and Trygve will be responsible for getting the new boat ready for the parade on the Thames River in the United Kingdom, where the race will officially start.

“Haven’t the boats in the fleet been ready for some time. We need to make enough sailing time for everyone now and it is not possible to buy a boat until they are 100% ready. We have heard that it takes around two months to build a boat and we have wanted to come back for this because we are ready to meet the requirements.”
