principal consultant and his job profile includes training
needs assessment of the clients’ training needs and
accordingly prepare a tentative training plan, keeping in
mind the available trainers and the free-lancers.

impressed with Amit’s performance but is now going
through a dilemma. Amit along with his MBA also had a
PG diploma in Industrial psychology, which had made
his CV very impressive at the time of hiring.

• PMR, being a small firm at that time, had never bothered about a detailed
background check of employees’ past and qualifications.
• Yesterday, Akshay had been to his school reunion meet. There he met
one of his old school time junior Vijay, and heard from him about the
adventure of Vijay and another of his friend Amit having got fake
degrees for Industrial psychology and now making it big in their own
organizations.
• Vijay, working with an OD consultant, was happy that they have been
able to prove their mettle too, and hence do not have any reason to be
affected by the fake certificate issue even if it becomes known.
• Akhshay has a strong feeling that the Amit, Vijay was talking of happens
to be his own principal consultant. He is now worried. With his
organization growing in numbers and gaining popularity, he is afraid that
leakage of such information could cause havoc.
• What should he do now? How should he approach the issue?
