Risk Management Plan

The PCNet Project (B) **Dynamically Managing Residual Risk**

Assignment is based on the case study

This case was written by Christoph H. Loch, Professor of Technology and Operations Management at INSEAD. It is based on real events, but the names of all companies and participants have been disguised. Any similarity with existing companies is accidental. The case is intended to be used as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate the effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation.

Note: The assignments depend on one another (last assignment attached) In this assignment, you will create a risk management plan. You have a budget of $100,000 and a timeline of six months for the plan. Please refer to the Risk Management Plan Template (Figure A-1 in Practical Project Risk Management) to create the plan.

Write an 8–10 page paper in which you:

1. Prepare the scope and objectives of the Risk Management Process section of the Risk Management Plan, based on the facts presented in the case study.

2. Determine the project size, based on the facts presented in the case study, and provide justification based on the Example Project Sizing Tool (Figure 3-4 in Practical Project Risk Management).

3. Select the risk tools and techniques, and complete the Risk Tools and Techniques section of the Risk Management Plan for both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the project. Provide a rationale for the selections.

4. Develop the Risk Reviews and Reporting section of the Risk Management Plan, based on the project size previously determined.

5. Define the Probability and Impacts section of the Risk Management Plan, and justify the values assigned.

6. Define the Risk Thresholds section of the Risk Management Plan, and justify the values assigned.

7. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

· Create a risk management plan that includes justification to support your rationale.

 Please read the case, watch the video, and then discuss the case questions:

• What principles of ethics should be considered?
• What impact can technology have on health care? On families?

 see details 

 For this assignment, you will reconstruct the four dimensions of diversity. Discuss each dimension, and then choose two to three characteristics of that dimension and offer an analysis of the considerations for those characteristics.

For example, in discussing the internal dimension, you choose the characteristic of the age. There are several considerations regarding age, particularly among multi-generational workers:

• Preferences in modes and frequency of feedback.
• Attitudes toward technology and its use in communication (i.e., social media).
• Motivation tends to differ for a person depending on where they are in their career (e.g., at the beginning of their career and looking to move up the corporate ladder, or nearing retirement).

This assignment will require you to think outside of the box and consider aspects of diversity that you may not have considered before.

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: 3-5 pages, not including title and reference pages

References:  Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

 

Working individually, students should complete the Critical Thinking questions per the list assigned. 

Prepare responses to the questions below after viewing the Negotiation Strategy and Tactics Tutorial in this week’s lesson. In drafting your answers to the questions, make sure that you apply course concepts in your answers.

• Part A: What are the objectives of both parties in the exchanges? How would you describe the general tone of the exchanges?
• Part B: Were Marilyn’s objectives achieved in the first exchange? Were Len’s objectives achieved in the first exchange? What do you project the outcome of the first exchange to be?
• Part C: Were Marilyn’s objectives achieved in the second exchange? Were Len’s objectives achieved in the second exchange? What do you project the outcome of the second exchange to be?
• Part D: Identify two points of transition in each exchange and analyze the impact of the transitions on the negotiation.

The paper should be a minimum of 3 to 4 pages.

The profession of optimizing organizational performance is quite broad, and it encompasses several fields, practice areas, and specialties. These include industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology, organizational development, organizational psychology, organizational psychology and development (OPD), consulting psychology, change management, organizational consulting, organizational design, and management consulting. When working with clients, it’s important to distinguish yourself as an OD practitioner and to fully understand your role so that you can explain the strengths, benefits, and nuances of OD practice as opposed to similar disciplines.

In this Discussion, you identify the elements that differentiate OD from other fields.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider what differentiates OD from other fields that work to optimize organizational performance.
• Research the various fields and disciplines associated with organizational development, improvement, and change. Think about what OD is and what it is not.

By Day 3

Post briefly summarize the various fields and disciplines associated with organizational development, improvement, and change. Then discuss what OD is and what it is not. Provide examples and resources that differentiate and distinguish OD as a unique profession. Also explain how OD professionals can work collaboratively with other practice areas to provide additional benefits to client organizations.
