KPI Selection
Badawy, Abd El-Aziz, Idress, Hefny, and Hossam (2016) stated that many organizations are using the wrong metrics that they call key performance indicators. Instead, they offered four types of performance measures:
For this assignment:
In your written paper, consolidate what you learned in your interview and provide a synopsis of the information in less than one page. The interviewee may remain anonymous if requested. While the interviewee may remain anonymous, the organization should be an actual one with which you are familiar and noted in the paper. In the remainder of the paper, suggest whether the metrics being used are KRIs, RIs, PIs, or KPIs, and why, and if you were to recommend a change to more effectively report on the project what KRIs, RIs, PIs, or KPIs would you suggest.

I need help with a Health management Problem Solving Discussion Question..I will provide login info
Begin this assignment by reading the scenario below:
You are a supervisor responsible for an organization’s logistic team leaving an annual company meeting that just concluded. The organization has recently acquired two smaller companies and is in need of some additional talented employees. None of the current employees have the technical skills the organization needs to move forward. In the meeting, the president announced that they are open to suggestions to fulfill the talent gaps. You have some ideas that you believe will help the organization address the talent needs. You have not shared this information with anyone. When you arrive at the elevators, the president invites you to share the executive elevator, which will take you directly to the first floor without any stops. You know what a busy schedule the president has, so this may be your only chance. You are on the twelfth floor and know that you will only have until you reach the first floor to share your ideas.
You have about 30 to 60 seconds to give the president your elevator pitch.
Prepare a script of your elevator pitch to submit for this assignment. An elevator pitch is a succinct and persuasive pitch on your topic. After preparing your first draft, time yourself as you read it. This will give you an idea if your thoughts are concise enough.
Include the following in your submission, supporting it with at least three scholarly sources:
Submit the script, along with an additional 1 to 2-page reflection of your experience with this assignment.
Written script Length: 2-3 pages, not including title and reference pages.
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.
Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear,and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Based upon the course readings, supplementary materials, and your own literature search via the CTU online library, create the following:

CASE 9: THE OUTSTANDING FACULTY AWARD
By David J. Cherrington, Brigham Young University; revised by Steven L. McShane, Curtin University (Australia) and University of Victoria (Canada)
I recently served on the Outstanding Faculty Award committee for the College of Business. This award is our college’s highest honor for a faculty member, which is bestowed at a special reception ceremony. At the first meeting, our committee discussed the nomination process and decided to follow our traditional practice of inviting nominations from both the faculty and students. During the next month, we received six completed files with supporting documentation. Three of the nominations came from department chairs, two from faculty who recommended their colleagues, and one from a group of 16 graduate students. At the second meeting, we agreed that we didn’t know the six applicants well enough to make a decision that day, so we decided that we would read the applications on our own and rank them. There was no discussion about ranking criteria; I think we assumed that we shared a common definition of the word “outstanding.”
During the third meeting, it quickly became apparent that each committee member had a different interpretation of what constitutes an “outstanding” faculty member. The discussion was polite, but we debated the extent to which this was an award for teaching, or research, or service to the college, or scholarly textbook writing, or consulting, or service to society, or some other factor. After three hours, we agreed on five criteria that we would apply to independently rate each candidate using a five-point scale. When we reconvened the next day, our discussion was much more focused as we tried to achieve a consensus regarding how we judged each candidate on each criterion. After a lengthy discussion, we finally completed the task and averaged the ratings. The top three scores had an average rating (out of a maximum of 25) of 21, 19.5, and 18.75.
I assumed the person with the highest total would receive the award. Instead, my colleagues began debating over the relevance of the five criteria that we had agreed on the previous day. Some committee members felt, in hindsight, that the criteria were incorrectly weighted or that other criteria should be considered. Although they did not actually say this, I sensed that at least two colleagues on the committee wanted the criteria or weights changed because their preferred candidate didn’t get the highest score using the existing formula. When we changed the weights in various ways, a different candidate among the top three received the top score. The remaining three candidates received lower ratings every time. Dr. H always received the lowest score, usually around 12 on the 25-point range.
After almost two hours of discussion, the Associate Dean turned to one committee member and said, “Dolan, I sure would like to see Dr. H in your department receive this honor. He retires next year and this would be a great honor for him and no one has received this honor in your department recently.” Dolan agreed, “Yes, this is Dr. H’s last year with us and it would be a great way for him to go out. I’m sure he would feel very honored by this award.” I sat there stunned at the suggestion, while Dolan retold how Dr. H had been active in public service, his only real strength on our criteria. I was even more stunned when another committee member, who I think was keen to finish the meeting, said, “Well, I so move” and Dolan seconded it.
The Associate Dean, who was conducting the meeting, said, “Well, if the rest of you think this is a good idea, all in favor say aye.” A few members said “Aye,” and, without calling for nays, the Associate Dean quickly proceeded to explain what we needed to do to advertise the winner and arrange the ceremony. During my conversations with other committee members over the next two weeks, I learned that everyone—including the two who said “Aye”—were as shocked as I was at our committee’s decision. I thought we made a terrible decision, and I was embarrassed to be a member of the committee. A few weeks later, we were appropriately punished when Dr. H gave a 45-minute acceptance speech that started poorly and only got worse.
1) Assignment: Read Case Study 9, The Outstanding Faculty Award, Selected Cases, in the textbook. Answer, discuss, and examine the following questions:
