CIPS Exam L4M6 Topic 5 Question 56 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam
Question #: 56
Topic #: 5
[All L4M6 Questions]

A company has just hired a new cleaning firm to clean their offices. The specification for the clean was detailed in an appendix in the contract and included a list of pre-approved products that the cleaning firm should use. The cleaners that were sent to site had not read the contract and therefore did not use the appropriate products. What is the reason for the failure of this?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

This is an example of poor-communication. The information was not passed from the person who signed the contract to the staff on site who were to do the cleaning. See p.158 on communication issues.

I think it was a combination of poor communication and miscommunication.

Communication overload? Come on, all they had to do was read the appendix. It's not like it was a novel or something. These cleaners need to up their game.

Distortion of the facts? Nah, the facts are pretty clear - the cleaners didn't follow the contract. Sounds like a classic case of not doing their homework.

Miscommunication, really? More like lack of communication altogether. The cleaners were completely in the dark about the approved products.

Poor communication? Duh, the cleaners didn't read the contract. Looks like they need to work on their reading comprehension skills.
