For this assignment, you will create a job description and a performance evaluation document that can be used in identifying a position within an organization and assessing the performance of an employee. The two items should be based on research for a specific job position in a career field you choose.

Be sure to identify the compensation (direct and indirect) factors, the pay plan, and the performance appraisal as they apply. You can refer to the previous units to obtain additional assistance in completing the assignment.

In total, utilizing the template, your submission should be a minimum of three pages in length, not counting the title page and the references page. A minimum of two scholarly references are required. Be sure to follow proper APA formatting and guidelines.

Choose a company to base this paper on. You may use a current or former employer, but do not disclose anything confidential. Or, you can pick another organization if you are familiar with their internal (not customer-facing) information systems. You can disguise the organization and populate it with famous names. Made-up companies are problematic because of the amount of detail and realism they require.

You’ve just left an all-hands meeting at this company. The CEO was very upset at the rise of shadow IT projects, a major indicator that the company’s internal information system has failed to meet its needs. Because the current information system is inadequate, inefficient, and outdated, the CEO is inviting everyone in the organization to propose a new operational, decision support, or enterprise information system to replace it. The executives have allocated $5 million to fund the most promising idea.

This is your chance to make a difference in the company (not to mention your own career). Write your proposal as a memo that the entire C-suite will review. Include at least these points, in your own words, to be persuasive:

1. Identify the main functions of your proposed information system and why they are important to the business.
2. Describe what types of data your information system will hold and how data quality will be ensured.
3. Explain how the old information system handles the functions you mentioned, the problems that occur, and why your information system will handle things better.
4. Offer evidence of feasibility: Show that similar information systems have been built successfully and that they save more money than they cost.

The executives are busy, so keep your memo to 1–4 pages and avoid any extraneous content.

Please follow all directions above.

Staff members who work at a women’s medical clinic are required to provide clients with information about various community resources available to them on a variety of medical conditions. Some of the resources include information regarding abortions. One staff member claims that her religious beliefs do not permit her to provide information about abortions, which is against her religion.

Conduct a Needs Assessment for Selected Business/Organization

The Critical Thinking assignments in this course build upon each other to help you complete the final Portfolio Project, an instructional design blueprint for a business or organization. In this step, you will complete a needs assessment for the business or organization you have selected and profiled.

Your needs assessment must include data collection measures and outcomes for the following four stages:

• Stage 1: What are the business/organization needs?
  • Measure: (What measure is used?)
  • Outcome: (What is the forecasted ROI?)
• Stage 2: What are the performance needs?
  • Measure: (What measure is used?)
  • Outcome: (What are the knowledge and skills needed for success in the business/organization? To what degree are they currently being met?)
• Stage 3: What are the learning needs?
  • Measure: (What measure is used?)
  • Outcome: (What knowledge and skills need to be improved through instruction?)
• Stage 4: What are the learner needs?
  • Measure: (What measure is used?)
  • Outcome: (For example: Who are the learners? How many are there? Is the group multi-generational? What is the cultural make-up? Are they traditional or nontraditional learners?)

Continue using the template that you began in Module 2 to organize your findings. Your final product should be well written and conform with the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Use at least two to three sources to support your observations and analysis. The CSU Global Library is a great place to find these sources. Submit your completed template for grading.

Combine all the previous milestones into a cohesive final paper. Your final paper should include revisions based on the feedback you received from your instructor on each milestone.

For this milestone, you will complete a draft of the first two sections of your summative assessment. Read the transcripts provided for you for this case analysis. The transcripts can be found in the Final Project Case Study.

Based on the transcripts you read in Module Three and this module’s reading, analyze the heuristics of the transcripts and determine how they impacted the interactions in the workplace. Additionally, determine the influence of cultural differences on the conflict. The transcripts can be found in the.

Based on the case study transcripts provided, look for instances in which the characters employed communication to manage the situation, collect relevant information, and build common ground. Then, identify practices through which the team can rebuild trust. Finally, determine the best course of action for resolving the conflict and provide your recommendations for moving forward.
