Data visualization is the concept of representing coherent data/information in a visual form. This visual representation of data is achieved via multiple tools. Some of the most common tools are bar charts, pie charts, heat maps, pivot tables and graphs, geographic maps, sensitivity charts, etc. Some of the modern tools also allow user interaction which enables the viewer to manipulate the parameters on the visual tools to change and reflect the chosen relevant data. This helps users to view the pattern/trend and make decisions based on the data that matters.

As an IT manager, communicating IT information to other departments can be a huge challenge considering the technical terms, language, and length of the information that needs to be communicated. Often, employees tend to overlook the IT information presented in long texts that bear an extensive amount of technical terms. Using data visualization tools such as the ones mentioned above, an IT manager can convey complex information such as patterns, trends and highlight important information for other departments.

Geographical Information Systems is a tool that can gather, store and analyze data based on geographical locations. This system also allows user interaction that makes it more useful and informational. By default, GIS allows visualization of geographical data and can convey events occurring across several locations. The innovative techniques of visualization that a GIS offers such as 3D spatial graphs sets is apart from other visualization tools. As an IT manager, one can take advantage of the special features if GIS to communicate location-based messages to other departments. For example, when security threats are detected, an IT manager can send a GIS report to other departments to show what location is affected and the what systems that are under attack. This is a very effective method to get the message across and can potentially avoid several IT mishaps.

Discussion Thread LA around, business and finance homework help

Need discussion thread for each LA around 110-140 words. NOTE: used the reference that’s included

Score-carding performance:

LA1: Instructor Insights contain possible measures for use in a Purchasing Balanced Scorecard. No one measure fits all scorecards.

For each of the 4 quadrants (sections) of the purchasing unit scorecard, pick (or create) one measure of most value to the VP SC in a firm of your choice. Be sure to explain your reasoning.

LA2: Describe at least 3 relevant performance measures you might employ to ensure that you satisfy your final project assignment for next week on time, with quality, and completely.

Instructor Insight

There are several reasons to measure performance:

To support better decision-making

To improve the focus of business communications

To assess feedback or results in time to act responsively

To direct talents toward reducing risk and improving outcomes

To determine a basis for performance rewards or penalties

To drive the most effective performance possible

But, measurement is not free.

– Some measures are simple to collect; some far more difficult.

– Measures are easy when relevant data is readily available.

– Yet, beware of too much data and too many measures.

– Be careful that measures are distinctive, not overlapping.

– It’s a balancing act.

– That’s why you might consider balancing your SC scorecard(s).

A scorecard is highly business sensitive. You track vital problem trends, and then remove them from the scorecard after they improve! Score carding is a serious save-the-firm set of critical performance measures.

There is no established industry standard for score carding. You start with the most debilitating problems and fix them first.

Often there is an inherent flow to scorecard from training to strategic outcomes. What follows are some potential metrics that the purchasing unit in an SC might use:

Scorecard Quadrant 1 – Training and Mentoring – The Foundation

% of purchasing workforce trained

% untrained scheduled for training

% trained who are qualified – by key positions

% mentored for professional development

% mentored who qualified – by key positions

% suppliers trained in key skills

% employees certified as CPM

Continuing education units earned/skill

Employee training satisfaction scores

Scorecard Quadrant 2 – Purchasing Skills Applied – The Performers

Internal customer complaints – by skill

External customer complaints – by skill

% of suppliers certified by key skill

% CPMs holding key positions / required

% skills mastered / skills required

Supervisor’s evaluation trends

Employee climate survey scores

Letters of appreciation received

Value of employee performance rewards

% negotiations that met business goals

% suppliers with high cooperation scores

Employee retention rate

Scorecard Quadrant 3 – Commodity Councils – Internal Outcomes

% on-time delivery – by council

% on-time delivery – by suppliers

QA inspection pass rate/ total attempts

Internal customer complaints – by process

External customer complaints – by process

Value of TOC reductions realized/ planned

Value of supplier innovations/ planned

Value of standard items/ total

% internal target prices reached

% outsourced target prices met

# of preferred suppliers/ total supply base

# of compliant suppliers/ total

# of suppliers replaced/ total

# single source suppliers/ total

# of purchase card transactions/ total

% successful performance audits/ total

Supplier satisfaction scores by council

Council satisfaction scores by suppliers

Litigation costs by product/ total product revenue

IT availability/accuracy for supply chain support

Average lead-time of non-standard items

# of error-free RFPs / total

# of error-free awards / total

Purchasing budget adjustments, +/-

Trend in transportation costs – by cause

Cost of regulation compliance

Audited savings from market / industry research

Scorecard Quadrant 4 – Strategic Outcomes

Customer satisfaction by product (mission success rate)

% reduction in purchasing spend

% reduction in inventory realized

% of suppliers/partners in early product design

Improvement in inventory turnover

% of stock-outs or back-orders

Return on purchasing investments (savings realized)

% purchasing strategic objectives met

Revenues for new or improved products

New product time-to-market/ goal (time-to-deploy)

% successful partnerships/ total

Forecasting accuracy rate

The real skill in score carding is to select the worst performance drivers,
then resolve them and go on to the next worst.
Some business people refer to it as “confronting the brutal facts.”


FYI: for measures of satisfaction, many scorecards use strongly agree to strongly disagree scales – to assess trends.

Navy Admiral Grace Hopper once said, “One accurate measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions!“

Exercises play a vital role in national preparedness by enabling whole community stakeholders to test and validate plans and capabilities and identify both capability gaps and areas for improvement. A well-designed exercise provides a low-risk environment to test capabilities, familiarize personnel with roles and responsibilities, and foster meaningful interaction and communication across organizations.

The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) provides a set of guiding principles for exercise programs, as well as a common approach to planning and conducting individual exercises. This methodology applies to exercises in support of all national preparedness mission areas and ensures a consistent and interoperable approach to exercise design and development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning.

There are four steps in evaluation and improvement planning which are the plan and organize the evaluation, observe the exercise and collect data, analyze data, and develop the draft AAA/IP. The exercise planning team and the lead evaluator will make decisions about the evaluation requirements. The second step is to observe the exercise and collect data which can differ between discussion-based exercises and operations-based exercises.

However, to conducting a player Hot Wash after an operations-based exercise, each evaluator should debrief the players and controllers in her observed discipline, either separately or as a large group. So, during conducting the hot wash, evaluators distribute Participant Feedback Forms to get information on perceptions of the exercise, how well each player thought her unit performed, and how well the unit integrated performance with other agencies and other exercise components.

The third step is to analyze data to demonstrated strengths and areas for improvement and will addresses operations based and discussion based exercise separately. The fourth step is to develop the AAR/IP to provides a description of what happened, describes any best practices or strengths, identifies areas for improvement that need to be addressed, and provides recommendations for improvement.

The third chapter explains the improvement planning from steps 5 to 8. During this process, the observations and recommendations recorded in the draft After Action Report (AAR) are resolved through the development of concrete corrective actions that are prioritized, tracked, and analyzed by program managers. The fifth step which is Conduct After Action Conference to present, discuss, and refine the draft AAR, and to develop an IP. The next step is to Identify Corrective Actions to be implemented which is to discussing specific corrective actions to address the observed areas for improvement and associated recommendations identified in the draft AAR. Finalize After Action Conference/ IP includes incorporating the corrections, clarifications, and other feedback provided by participants at the After Action Conference. The last steps is track Implementation of the corrective action in the final AAR/IP. The exercise teams must involve individuals responsible for complying with the CAP process.

The following documents were exercise checklists. The Evaluator checklist part one is to evaluate the objectives and use the scale. Also, there is comments section to evaluate capabilities. The second checklist part II is in narrative form to describe the specific issue. In addition, there is a discussion space to discuss the specific issue and corrective action recommendation to resolve the issue and improve performance.
