Project

The project assignment provides a forum for analyzing and evaluating relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.

Introduction

Building trust is one of the most important aspects of leadership. As a leader, you will need to have an executable plan to develop trust. As you continue on your leadership path, the plan will become more ingrained and even take some adjustment, but you must begin somewhere.

Tasks

Read the following article:

• Reagan, B. (2004). How to score high on the trust equation. National Underwriter/P&C, 108(19), 10–11.

Using this article as a foundation, develop a plan on how you will develop trust within your staff.

Be sure to include specific examples of the activities and rationale behind your plan. For example:

• Communication (how you will communicate)
• Modeling (what types of activities will you use to model)
• Commitment (how your staff will know that you are committed)
• Accountability (what the accountability measures are and who or what will hold you accountable)

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

1-page single space.

Your classification team has been asked to perform a job analysis addressing the increased use of robotics in a manufacturing environment. Some of the employees’ assignment in the department your studying are becoming more technical and sophisticated. On the other hand, some of the employees’ tasks are increasingly repetitive, as well as mentally and physically taxing. Where would you start in analyzing the job family, developing the minimum requirements, for each job classification creating relevant job specifications? 

Include the following points in your answers:

1- Consider the current trends of technology in manufacturing, what would be the composition of the classification team would you need to explore the plant’s talent needs?

2- How would you assess your current talent pool’s abilities to meet the job requirements?

3- What challenges are you likely to face?

Preparation

In this assignment, you will prepare a presentation in which you recommend a forced ranking performance evaluation system to the Director of Human Resources of the organization examined in the Coaching Model assignment.

Note: You may create or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of these assignments. In your original work, you may use aspects of existing processes from either your current or a former place of employment. However, you must remove any and all identifying information that would enable someone to discern the organizations that you have used.

• Provide a title slide (as indicated in the formatting requirements below).
• Develop a forced ranking performance evaluation system to improve the overall performance of the selected organization.
• Prioritize the pros and cons with the greatest impact on the effectiveness of the forced ranking performance evaluation system. Provide a rationale for your response.
• Suggest three key implementation steps for the forced ranking performance evaluation system.
• Propose three ways in which the selected organization could use technology as an enabler for the forced ranking performance evaluation system.
• Provide a summary slide that addresses the key points of your presentation.

• Use four external sources to support your responses. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide and relevant graphics (photographs, graphs, clip art, et cetera), ensuring that the presentation is visually appealing and readable from 18 feet away. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

You will want to assess the impact it would have on the organization and its D&I strategy and some of the areas to consider when doing so.

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly or professional resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.

Length: 10-12 slides, not including title and reference slides

Class.  Please support your work or points will be lost…

This assessment addresses the following course objective(s):

• Examine theories of effective business responses to innovation across disciplines.

Find an article that provides guidelines for managers on how to manage technology and innovation. What do you think of the advice?

Apply that advice to a different industry. Does it apply?  For example, if your guideline was for healthcare, would it apply to manufacturing?  Why or why not?

This paper should be a minimum of 500 words, at least two pages, and follow APA Style requirements (i.e., cover page, in-text citations, and a reference page).  Please use a minimum of 2 references for this assignment; please avoid ‘crowd-sourced’ material from Wikipedia, about.com, and others. 

After our diploma has been hung on the wall and the classes are behind us, continuing to stay up-to-date with what is happening in the industry is crucial so we can stay ahead of the curve and maintain our valuable knowledge base.

Over the previous three modules, you learned about leading-edge technology and trends in logistics and supply chain management. Put that to work for you. You will create a video presentation and accompanying handout. (Do not copy resources). Share insights into where you see logistics and supply chain management going and how a company can leverage this. The audience for this presentation will be all levels of logistics professionals. 

SLP Assignment

Presentation Handout

• Create a handout to accompany the presentation. (Do not copy resources). It should be informative and targeted to the audience. It can be written in a professional conversational style, but since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite in the handout and add a reference list in APA format. The handout may be single-spaced and use fonts not allowed in APA.

Video Presentation

• Video yourself presenting the 3- to 3½-minute video. Set your digital camera/phone to video your face and upper torso. This will allow the viewer to see your hand gestures and facial expressions. Do not read your script.

Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. The excessive use of quotes or unoriginal content will directly impact performance since it suggests lack of comprehension and indicates that a student may not have mastered the concepts.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Please submit your assignment.

Handout: A Word document using the attached template (LOG302 SLP4 Handout) which contains a video link to your (3- to 3½-minute maximum) presentation if uploaded. Content beyond 3½ minutes will not be considered for grading. Video files should be uploaded to YouTube and the link shared. Set as public or unlisted, NOT PRIVATE. Unlisted means your video will not come up in search results and only those who know the link can view it, even if they do not have a YouTube account/username. If you need to upload the video file to the SLP 4 Dropbox due to security concerns or YouTube blackouts, please contact your professor in advance.
