Resilience in Practice for Strategic Planning at a Local Government.

A small reflection of the articles that I will upload of what is about and a main point ,possible Write 1/2 A4 pages where you explain the concepts you find most interesting, what insights you gained, point out differences in perspectives between the papers, bring up the issues (you think are) most relevant for planning in the literature and list the questions you have related to the literature.

What are some of the potential benefits of a more formalized approach to forecasting?

((calculation is the most important))

Questions:
1. What are some of the potential benefits of a more formalized approach to forecasting?

2. What is your weekly forecast for periods F15 to F18 for each of Product 1 and Product 2. Explain your choice of technique for each product. Also, for each product, you must plot the data for the first 14 weeks and then provide another graph showing the plotted data for all 18 weeks – which includes your new forecast period.

(Hint: When you look at the plotted data for your full 18 weeks, do you see any change in the behavior you had observed in weeks 1-14? If the formula you have chosen does not continue the behavior you saw in weeks 1 – 14, your formula might be incorrect. Try another formula. If you still see a change in behavior when you plot the data, you might have to make a management decision to manually adjust the numbers based on what you see). Just ensure you explain what you are doing. Your text allows you to use the Excel templates but I want to see your work and not just the Excel template.

Describe a time and a place when you developed and actively pursued a set of goals.

Journal : Goal Setting (Personal and Social Responsibility)
Address the following items in your journal entry
• Describe a time and a place when you developed and actively pursued a set of goals. What strategies did you use to achieve those goals? Or, if you didn’t achieve the goals, what were the challenges that made achieving them difficult or impossible?
• Now that you’re starting your new educational career at SNHU we want you to develop a new set of goals. Develop three long-term goals that will make your investment of time, energy and money effective here at SNHU. One goal should focus on your academic life; one should focus on your personal life, and one should focus on your professional life.
• Develop three short-term goals (one academic, one personal, one professional) that will make your first semester successful.
• What is your plan for achieving each of these goals?

Communication skills

In this paper, you need to choose a construct set (a theory or part of a theory) in the book – In Mixed Company: communicating in small groups and teams.- J. Dan Rothwell. ( ch 1-6)that relating to behavior patterns of individual members and/or of relational behavior between members that you’ve observed in your group. Your constructs should have enough depth so that you will have at least 3 or 4 main points of analysis.

Much of what’s in our text is already clearly divided into points for you to use. (For example, “informal roles” are divided into task, social, and disruptive roles. Then the individual types of each are defined for your analysis base. Also “group development” has four stages, all of which contain detailed descriptions of typical member behavior in each.)

Don’t forget: Your introduction paragraph should include your group name, members’ names, the project goal, and any other pertinent information. This paragraph should end with your thesis & main point preview statement(s).

Notes: group name- blind spot
member name: Elizabeth, Miranda, Mangal, Kalkhorani, Rosa, Karim, yourself.
project goal: to increase the awareness of drunk driving issues and develop better communication skill within a group , how group work together ,,,ect

WITHIN each body paragraph, you will need to do the following:

(1) Define each construct using the text (and cite) – those specific details will be the basis for your following analysis. Important elements in this section include typical communication behaviors a group development. Make sure that your construct definitions are thorough and clear.

(2) Show how the construct can be used to explain what has happened in your group by giving examples of member’s verbal and nonverbal communication behavior. (Our text does the same thing with examples in every chapter, if you’d like an idea of what I’m looking for.) These behaviors need to be analyzed through your explanation of HOW they illustrate the construct(s) you have chosen. If you cannot clearly explain how the behaviors and the construct relate, then either you need to choose different behaviors or a different construct. (Or you need to have a better understanding of the material.)

notes:
Kalkhorani is the creator of the group, as she had the bad experience which relate to drunk driving issues. therefore , she creates that group .
things that she followed for this project- give idea about the blind spot event such as throwing basketball , walking straight line with a drunk driving goggles, she also provides each member a white shirt with our designs on it . she is trying to do anything to support the term. and she is like a group leader i our group.

Mangel- given some idea about the events , help for the proposal , asking her brother to talk to a cherif he knows to the event.

Miranda- organized the wording in all the group meeting such as what each member need to do ….given suggestion and idea toward the group, asking Devonshire PD to join to our event. share idea of how to create own goggles.

Karim: typing the outline for the proposal, asking permission from school and for the paper work, share idea toward the group. create group name ” bliind spot”

Rosa: asking for drunk driving goggles, contact to CSUN police to see if she can get some goggles from them. arrange for an officer to participate.

Elizabeth : share idea toward the group about the event/group project.

yourself: create a ” group me” for people to communicate easily , remind every member what they need to do each week. create 3 designs/ posters though photoshop, print out the posters in copy shop. share ideas to the group.

All- share ideas such as how to make this event happen, what kind of materials , equipment, event place…(or free feel to write anything you can think about it.)
help to do the group proposal, share idea n thought , help each other as a group. help to create contract .

(3) After your analysis, then you should evaluate what you have analyzed. What could/should have been done better/differently? You can address the behaviors of all members (including yourself), or evaluate the actions of a few members, depending upon the situation. If your group has done everything well, tell me WHY they did so. Show an understanding of these constructs/ideas as they occur in the real world.

better: working as a group, everyone has there own stuff to follow, better communication skills, ( or think of any) everyone is supportive, positive , listen to some concerns.

different: people don’t really give you improvement or good suggestion instead of saying that is really good idea. (you could add this or not, is up to u )
money- each member is working and had job,some of the equipment is very expensive, and i think instead of each person paying their own equipment, i think we should add all the prices together so everyone can pay the equal amount.
group is somehow too big, that means some member did not have to do anything.

Your conclusion may just be your last evaluation statements, or some other
personal insight about your group, but I don’t need a summary of everything you just analyzed.

*The purpose of these analysis papers is to understand how the theoretical material relates to real-world behavior and how that knowledge can help us improve communication in small groups.

Anatomy of a Disaster

Watch a video named Anatomy of a Disaster. It tells the story of one of the worst industrial accidents in recent U.S. history – the March 23, 2005, explosion at the BP refinery in Texas City, Texas, which killed 15 workers, injured 180 others, and caused billions of dollars in economic losses. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board investigated the accident. The CSB produced this video and a comprehensive public report. The link to the video is provided below:

Please watch the video, write an essay on it (what happened, circumstances leading upto the accident, and what recommendations were made by CSB to various agencies).
====================================
*please be organized and don’t forget to write everything of the accident (the accident, all of the circumstances, recommendations)

Situation encountered by a student in their workplace

The case should objectively present a challenging management situation encountered by the students in their workplace about which they wish to receive feedback or assistance. What’s a good case? A challenging management situation without any easy answers. Traditionally management cases present problems to be solved. However, an equally good case can be a description of how an excellent manager dealt with a challenging situation. The case should state the writer’s view of the challenge(s) clearly enough for the other students can prepare their responses.

The case should state the writer’s view of the challenge(s) clearly enough for the other students can prepare their responses.

The case should have sufficient information such that an outsider can make a recommendation without further input from the writer.

Be an objective reporter: present only the facts of the case situation. Avoid biases, interpretations, opinions or “setting the stage” any more than necessary. This instruction is much harder to follow than it sounds.

I will include my job position and description to you. Be sure the case you come up should be related to my job position and its a management situation.

I will also an example of what mean by good case by my professor, no source is needed

What were the pros and cons of each potential solution?

1. What is your progress on your internship to date? Will you still be able to meet your original internship goals?
2. What are you doing well?
3. What obstacles have you encountered? What connections do they have to management principles or concepts? What potential solutions did you devise? What were the pros and cons of each potential solution? What solution did you choose and why? What would you do differently the next time you encounter such a problem (i.e. what problem-solving techniques would you use)?
4. Do you need to change something to reach your original internship goals? Do you need to create new ones? If so, what will you change and what will be your new goals, action steps and/or deadlines?

I will provide you the Journal one, basically you will need to answer some of the questions base on the SMART goal in the Journal 1. Just read the questions and you will know and feel free to ask me any questions.

No sources is needed.
