Assg

After completing the reading this week, please review table 1.2 in the text and review the distinction between leadership and management.  Then think about this in regard to how senior leaders versus senior managers lead change in an organization (especially when it comes to technical change in an organization).

This week please reflect on these concepts and answer the following questions:

  1. When implementing change in an organization, there are always cultural issues that are faced, such as not accepting change, determine how differently this would be handled thinking about the management versus leadership constructs?
  2. When dealing with performing work, how is this implemented differently within the management versus leadership constructs?

Please be sure to answer all of the questions above in the initial post.

Please ensure the initial post and two response posts are substantive.  Substantive posts will do at least TWO of the following:

  • Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
  • Expand on the topic, by adding additional thoughtful information
  • Answer a question posted by another student in detail
  • Share an applicable personal experience
  • Provide an outside source
  • Make an argument

At least one scholarly (peer-reviewed) resource should be used in the initial discussion thread.  Please ensure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library.  Use APA references and in-text citations.

Health information threats

Evaluate three threats to health information systems and explain their impact on patient health information.

Minimum 400 words with 3 scholarly references

procedure doc

 

Write a procedure document for CSI that documents how to change a password in a platform of your choosing.

The document should be detailed enough, and yet understandable enough, for a reasonable, non-technical, non-IT person to follow the directions and successfully change the operating system password without the need to call for support in all but the most extreme cases.  (In the real world, there will always be the the ‘outlying’ cases that defy logic and defy documentation.)

Text should be as understandable as possible and as non-technical as practical.  Remember in a previous lecture that the standard reading level for a wide audience tends to be 8th or 9th grade.  Include a glossary where needed.

Visual aids should be included.  Screen captures or photographs are very helpful to the technically challenged.

For this assignment an Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint (or equivalent application) document will be acceptable.

Tips

This is usually an easy assignment because changing the password in most operating systems is very simple. You just need to describe the steps in getting there.

Most students tend to get caught up in the editing process.  Getting a prototype document put together, including screen captures, is usually pretty fast.  Editing can be a time black hole so be mindful of that.

Ask a non-technical person to read one of your drafts.  If they understand it, and can follow it, you have succeeded.

Business Intelligence

When submitting work, be sure to include an APA cover page and include APA formatted references (and APA in-text citations) to support the work this week.

All work must be original (not copied from any source).

1. How do you describe the importance of data in analytics? Can we think of analytics without data? Explain.

2. Considering the new and broad definition of business analytics, what are the main inputs and outputs to the analytics continuum?

3. Where do the data for business analytics come from? What are the sources and the nature of those incoming data?

4. What are the most common metrics that make for analytics-ready data?

Excersise 

5. Go to data.gov—a U.S. government–sponsored data portal that has a very large number of data sets on a wide variety of topics ranging from healthcare to education, climate to public safety. Pick a topic that you are most passionate about. Go through the topic-specific information and explanation provided on the site. Explore the possibilities of downloading the data, and use your favorite data visualization tool to create your own meaningful information and visualizations.

Module 7 13-3

A cloud customer has asked you to do a forensics analysis of data stored on a CSP’s server. The customer’s attorney explains that the CSP offers little support for data acquisition and analysis but will help with data collection for a fee. The attorney asks you to prepare a memo with detailed questions of what you need to know to perform this task. She plans to use this memo to negotiate for services you’ll provide in collecting and analyzing evidence. Write a one- to two-page memo with questions to ask the CSP.

Please check for grammatical errors and don’t use books or journals as references.
