ValleyTech-Memo

/in /by

In this activity you will practice using persuasive style in professional documentation. There are two parts to this activity. First, you will craft an internal memo considering the scenario described below. Then, you will write a memo to me defending and describing why you crafted the internal memo the way you did, considering style and genre strategies from Chapters 5 & 16.

Step 1: The Scenario

You are a manager at ValleyTech, a mid-size biotechnology corporation in the Great Lakes Bay Region, required to write a memo to all employees instructing them to participate in health and safety training.

The memo must contain the following information:

  • All employees are required to the health and safety training class.
  • The classes are mandatory and will be held every Monday and Wednesday at 8:00 am in room 305.
  • Employees must complete one of these courses by October 11th, 2016 in order to be in compliance with company policy.
  • Employees failing to meet this requirement in a timely manner may be suspended until the requirement is completed

As a manager, though, you are also aware of the following information:

  • Two weeks ago, an employee had an accident in one of the labs at ValleyTech. He was exposed to blood born pathogens and has not returned to work since. Apparently he is ill, and the company is worried about possible legal ramifications for the incident since the staff was not properly trained in dealing with these sorts of situations.
  • The majority of ValleyTech competitors require health and safety training as a part of their orientation for new employees.
  • Coffee and donuts could easily be provided during the training.
  • ValleyTech has hired a leading health and safety expert to come in twice a week for the next two weeks. Her name is Mindy Allen, and she is with Mid-Michigan Health and Safety Consultants, LLC.
  • There is an online training program available, but the company is afraid if they offer this as an option that people will not attend the sessions with the expensive consultant they have hired.
  • Employees actually have until the end of the calendar year to complete the training, but Mindy Allen will only be here until October 11.
  • The Bureau of Labor reports that in 2006 for professional and business industries, there were two reported cases of occupational injury for every 100 employees. ValleyTech would fall in this category. ValleyTech currently has 1500 employees.

As you craft the memo, decide whether or not it would help persuade your audience to attend if they knew this information and if it is ethical to share such information. Incorporate this information as appropriate, considering the conventions of memos as described in Chapter 5 and persuasive style and other strategies from Chapter 16. Please Note: You do not have to include all of the additional information. You may pick and choose based on the rhetorical style you choose.

Step 2: The Defense

After you completed the internal memo, write a memo to me that explains and defends the choices you made and the ways in which you considered strategies from Chapters 5 & 16. This memo should be approximately 200-250 words.

The Deliverables

1. Completed internal memo

2. Defense memo

Answer Questions on Bottom
THE CASE OF THE UNFULFILLED PROMISE

Jason, age ninety, had a very valuable violin collection consisting of 10 violins, cases and bows. He was frail and was helped by a niece Susan, who was an excellent violinist. Just prior to making a new will, Jason told his niece that he was going to give her the violin collection. “It’s yours,” he said, adding that he would temporarily hold on to the collection for safekeeping. That same day he also sent Susan a letter in which he said, “I give you my violin collection, and when I die, it will be yours.”

Jason died four weeks later. In his will, which did not refer to the violins, he left his entire estate to his two children. Susan brought suit against the estate to have the violin collection declared her property.

The Trial

Susan testified at the trial about the help she had given her uncle over a period of fifteen years. She produced the letter her uncle had sent her and recalled their many conversations during which her uncle had promised to give her the violins. There was additional testimony that Jason’s children had never even picked up a violin and had been estranged from their father for years.

The Arguments at Trial

Susan attorney argued that the collection belonged to Susan because Jason had gifted the violins to Susan during Jason’s lifetime and that there was symbolic delivery. He further argued that Jason’s keeping possession of the violins was solely to protect them and in no way invalidated the gift. He also argued that to deprive. Susan of the collection that her uncle obviously wanted to give her would be unfair.

The children’s attorney argued that the will was validly executed after the letter was sent and promises made orally or in writing do not constitute valid gifts. They further argued that actual and not symbolic delivery is an essential requirement for a gift to be deemed valid.

Questions to Discuss

  1. Who has the stronger argument, Susan or Jason’s children? Why?
  2. If you were the jury hearing this case, for whom would you decide? Why?
  3. Should considerations of fairness and the intentions of the person making the will take precedence over a validly executed will?
  4. What problems do you think could arise if oral or written promises were considered under the circumstances of this case?

This paper allows you to use your critical thinking skills to create a Project Management Training Manual for Cool Widgets, Inc. (the fictional company we have been following throughout the class). This course covered project management— its tools, techniques, and their benefits to the organization. Now is your opportunity to explain these concepts to the rest of Cool Widgets, Inc. project management and teams and to provide guidelines for best practices. Be sure to cite your sources.

Use the linked Training Manual template for your training manual.

The Training Manual will include screenshot (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. examples and explanations of work breakdown structures (WBS), critical path analysis, and a weighted scoring module (WSM) that you have created in prior weeks. Be sure to update these examples based on any new criteria presented in these instructions. Prior to completing this final project, review Chapters 9 and 10 in your textbook. Include feedback you received on the previous assignments, knowledge you obtained in the class, and your research so that the training manual will reflect project management best practices.

The Project Management Training Manual must include the following elements:

  1. Introduction
    • Explain what a project is and how project management improves an organization’s success.
    • Summarize the five process groups in the project management life cycle.
  2. Initiating/Pre-Planning/Project Selection
    • Explain the pre-planning stage of the project management lifecycle.
      • Explain project management terms, tools, and techniques that are applicable to the pre planning/project selection stage.
    • Describe various approaches for selecting projects.

  3. Planning
    • Explain the planning stage of the project management lifecycle.
      • Explain project management terms, tools, and techniques that are applicable to the planning stage.
    • Using the WSM template from Week One and the criteria found in the Cool Widgets scenario, create a WSM model that will help select the appropriate training resource company to outsource the employee training in Cool Widgets’ NY branch. Be sure to incorporate any applicable instructor or peer feedback you may have received about your work on the WSM in Week Two. Using the criteria from the Cool Widgets scenario, create the WSM and insert it as a screenshot (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. into your manual. Explain the purpose of the WSM. Supply the rationale for the training resource you chose based on the WSM results.
    • Explain the WBS, project milestones, and the critical path and how these elements relate to the project’s status.
    • Create a WBS in Microsoft (MS) Project, or modify the example you created in Week Three, taking into account both instructor and peer feedback (as applicable), and include a screen shot of it as an example in your training manual. Make sure the example contains the appropriate level of detail so the reader understands the context.
  4. Executing
    • Explain the executing stage of the project management lifecycle.
      • Explain project management terms, tools, and techniques that are applicable to the executing stage.
    • Create a status report, or modify the example you created in Week Two or Week Four, using your Cool Widgets training project plan and taking into account both instructor and peer feedback (as applicable). Your status report must contain a WBS, a critical path analysis, and a project cost management report. Make sure the status report is clear and succinct and contains the appropriate amount of detail that a reader would need to understand the context for the report.
