/in /by

This essay explores the persuasive mode, one of the more common kinds of writing you’ll experience throughout your college and professional career. Your goal is to persuade your audience to consider your position on a controversial subject. Understand, there is seldom a definitive right or wrong answer in anything. You should anticipate the real possibility that some of your readers will not initially agree with you on your stance. Part of this essay requires that you take opposing viewpoints into consideration when making your argument. By truthfully representing the strengths of your opponent’s point of view, you show that you have considered more than one option when making your decision. This gives you more clout with your audience.

conduct research and to compile the information about the HC affiliated stakeholders for supply chain coordinator

/in /by

Your Supervising Manager called a meeting early Monday morning to discuss the tasks you will need to accomplish in this week. He/she was very complimentary about the efficiency of your performance and quality of the submitted Memos. However, further investigation is necessary to make sure all areas of the response were covered accordingly.

You are asked to conduct research and to compile the information about the HC affiliated stakeholders in this situation in a table (attached). Make sure to choose the stakeholders that will be involved in your area of expertise (as per your job description). For example, the Clinical coordinator may choose the CDC (Center for the Disease Control) as a stakeholder due to the mandatory reporting and follow up on the guidelines. CDC affiliated stakeholder would be a local health department that reacts to the situation based on CDC provided preparatory guidance. At the same time, the local health department would be a direct stakeholder for the Clinical Coordinator because its representatives will be directly involved in guiding potential public health issues at the site. All information should be presented in a table format. You can use bullet points, subcategories, and other white space organizational components.

The template is attached. Make sure to provide minimum 4 credible sources from the UMUC library, the stakeholder home website, and the information pertaining to 2 discussed stakeholders (1 chosen direct and 1 affiliated tot he direct stakeholder). APA format is required for the citation and references.

RE: Week 4 Discussion

COLLAPSE

Hello everyone and Happy Week 4!

Currently, I work for an international nonprofit organization. The vision statement that I have chosen for Assignment 2 is:

“We exist to spread love and uplift our community without discrimination. To serve our community with the most up-to-date and efficient resources possible. We exist to allow clients and employees to reach their full potential. To share our message so that we can continue to serve the most vulnerable members of our community. To build partnerships that will restore families and change lives. To Be the Good We Want to See.”

I chose this vision statement for quite a few reasons:

  1. This vision statement directly aligns with my organization’s national brand strategy, which is “Doing the Most Good”. This slogan has been our company’s promise to the community to do this most good with our donations, resources, time, and services (1). This promise calls on employees to “do the most good” in every aspect of their work, and that they are stewards of the money entrusted to them. This ensures that our clients are treated to the highest standard of our mission statement.
  2. The statement correlates to my change initiative which is an advocation for more efficient systems and processes to be able to successfully service our clients. In order to offer goodness to others, you have to start by being “the good” and sometimes that means starting with self-reflection and being the change that you want to see.
  3. This vision statement is a play on Gandhi’s “Be the Change that You Want to See in the World”:

“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme.” – Mahatma Gandhi

This is a call to action to focus on what you can change versus what you cannot and to avoid the judgment of others(2). This is an objective our company was founded on, as we were created by a missionary who focused his message on helping the outcasts of society.

The EVM tool would be helpful with refining my vision statement by ensuring that it is customer-focused, includes success metrics, guides important financial commitments, and targets key operational and organizational elements (3). After completing this week’s reading it has already made me aware that before assignment 2, this vision statement will need to be a little more detailed to be considered effective. It would need to be progressive enough to push employees out of their comfort zones to get them on board with the initiative. A large part of this initiative is already in place within our organization so it will be important to adjust my vision statement to be more direct about the push, advantage, and substantial need for new technologies.

The steps needed to communicate this vision and align stakeholders would be to create urgency to obtain buy in, and present to the stakeholders by using Kotters recommended steps for effective communication of vision (4):

  • Keep verbiage simple
  • Use examples, success stories, and examples (verbal and illustrated)
  • Spread the word across multiple forums
  • Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!
  • Walk the Talk
  • Be transparent to maintain credibility
  • Always request feedback

Thank you!

Breana

RE: Week 4 Discussion

COLLAPSE

Hello Professor and Classmates,

What is your vision statement for the change initiative you have chosen for your Assignment 2?

An agency helping those in need find an affordable place to call home in New Jersey.

Why did you choose this vision?

I choose this vision because the agency vision is to help those in need find a safe place to call home that is affordable. The agency believes that everyone should have a place to live and be able to afford it.

How can you use the EVM tool to help you refine your vision statement?

Key strategic elements of the vision, including product/service focus; customer/market focus; unique positioning and differentiation (1). This tool can help refine the vision statement to clearly state what the agency’s service and customer/market focus truly are and what the agency can do and has done.

How much alignment to this vision do you feel is already in place, even if it is not well articulated yet?

I feel the alignment of this vision is in place within the agency, but I do think it could be strengthened because it does seem that it has been misinterpret by customers and developers.

What steps are needed to communicate the vision and align stakeholders around the change initiative?

Keep communications simple, direct, focused and jargon-free.

Deliver the message across lots of different forums and vehicles.

Lead by example.

Address inconsistencies and communicate with honesty and openness.

Solicit feedback and encourage questions, challenges, and arguments about the vision and what it means for your organization (2).

Chapter 6 Reflection Assignment

/in /by

Part 1

You will be submitting a reflective response to the textbook chapter for this module.

The “reading response” assignment is a technique for engaging in a dialogue with the instructor. The dialogue should be academic in nature, but can also be personal as you relate the information to your life. Do not simply tell me what the chapter presented. Instead, SHOW ME that you have read and understood the chapter by integrating information from it into your more personal, reflective thoughts on the topic. The “reading response” entry should respond to one of the following questions:

Chapter Six: Psychological maltreatment (At least 400 words)

  1. After reading the information in this chapter, do you think parents should be charged with psychological maltreatment alone? (i.e., no other form of maltreatment is evident). What would be an appropriate punishment for this behavior?

Part 2

Psychological Maltreatment Discussion (At least 200 words)

Here you will discuss various thoughts, observations, disagreements, etc. related to this module and your own perspectives. You are encouraged to include your personal experiences and observations as part of these discussions.

early settlement

/in /by

Cain and Abel have decided to settle their case before it proceeds
any further and causes them to expend more time and money. You have the
previous information, including case caption, from the complaint and
answer. Your supervising attorney has provided you with his final notes
from the settlement conference and would like a settlement agreement and
release drafted for his review. He has stressed that this document is
of the utmost importance. He has provided you with two sample settlement
agreements and requested you use these two samples to craft the
settlement agreement for this client.

Settlement Sample 1

Settlement Sample 2

The information to be included is as follows: The name of the case, including case number

  • Cain filed the action, Abel counterclaimed
  • Both parties deny any wrongdoing on own part
  • Neither party is to admit any wrongdoing or violation of any law
  • Both Cain and Abel agree that this is the full and final
    settlement agreement, and are waiving any claims against each other,
    known or unknown
  • Cain is to pay Abel $5000 for the defamatory statements made against him
  • Both parties are to keep all matters regarding the case and settlement as confidential
  • The settlement is the entire agreement
  • Both Cain and Abel have agreed to 7 days to review the agreement
    and sign it–after signature by both brothers, the agreement will
    become effective
  • Your supervising attorney proposes a “severability clause”
  • The agreement can be executed in parts, so that Cain doesn’t need to sign the same piece of paper as Abel
  • A non-disparagement clause, preventing Cain from making disparaging comments about Abel in the future

You should ensure that the document is grammatically correct, and free from any spelling errors.
