Develop a Workshop on Groupthink

I don’t understand this Psychology question and need help to study.

For this task, assume that you have been hired by an organization as a consulting I/O psychologist to assist in developing a new workgroup division. Management is concerned about getting the most effective and diverse teams in place to tackle major projects because teams, in the past, have encountered groupthink issues. Using the information you have learned this week, prepare a workshop to present to this group that addresses the following:

  • Explain the past history of groupthink, and then offer some examples to support your explanation.
  • Suggest how groupthink can be minimized within team decision-making situations.
  • Provide a list of 10 recommendations for the team to consider when designing and developing this new division as a way to encourage open communication and avoid groupthink.
  • Find ways to get the team involved in creating this list and figuring out why this issue repeatedly comes up in this workgroup and discuss specific steps in how to prevent this in the future.

Business Process and Functional Modeling

I don’t know how to handle this Computer Science question and need guidance.

Assignment 1: Business Process and Functional Modeling

Due Week 4 and worth 110 points

Advanced Business Systems (ABS) is a consulting and staffing company providing specialized staffing and consulting services to clients in a variety of different industries. It has offices in major U.S. metro areas and has ongoing relationships with Fortune 500 companies. Its areas of services range from software development and network engineering to geo-information systems. It has 50 plus regional offices in U.S. and five (5) offices in Canada. It plans to expand to other countries in the future.

When an ABS client company determines that it will need a contractor or temporary professional, it issues a staffing request against the contract it had previously negotiated with ABS. The contract manager in ABS reviews the staff request and ensures that the request is valid with its current contract with its client from the database.

  • If the request is not valid, the contract manager sends the staffing request back to the client and explains the reasons and asks for the need for starting a new contract.
  • If the request is valid, the contract manager will start recruiting requests by putting the request into its staffing database. The staffing request is then sent to ABS placement department.

In the placement department, the placement specialists will check the job requirements and candidate’s qualifications.

  • If there is a qualified candidate, the specialist will notify the candidate and put a note in the database.
  • If a qualified candidate cannot be found or not immediately available, the specialist notifies contract managers and the recruiting department; the recruiting department starts searching outside immediately.

The recruiting department normally has 30 days to find an outside candidate and send the qualified candidates to the placement department to review. If an internal qualified candidate is confirmed with his / her availability, the confirmation will be sent to the arrangement department. In the arrangement department, the candidate works with the specialists to further confirm the placement details, such as starting date, location, compensation (e.g., per diem), and travel arrangement. The final confirmation will be sent to the client along with a billing schedule. If the client agrees with the arrangement, he/she acknowledges the arrangement with contract managers in the contract department. The contract manager then puts a memo into its database and closes the request.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Create a use-case diagram to include at least three (3) actors for the system described in this case through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
  2. Create an activity diagram for the business process described in this case through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
  3. Develop a use-case description for each major use case.
  4. Verify and validate the functional models for this case.
  5. Create a high-level requirements document which captures the major functions of the system.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • This course requires use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different from other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow SWS or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
  • Include charts or diagrams created in Visio or Dia. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Procure, document, and scope IT project requirements with use cases.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in procuring and designing project requirements.
  • Write clearly and concisely about project requirements and design topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Feasibility Study

I don’t know how to handle this Writing question and need guidance.

Prepare a feasibility study based on a scenario of your choice.

  • Scenario

    You have been asked by the CEO of your organization to propose a project or program to address a specific need, and to develop a feasibility study to determine if the proposed project or program should be undertaken.

    Your Role

    You are a department leader in the organization.

  • Requirements

    Complete each section of the feasibility study as completely as possible, and support with relevant evidence. The length of your feasibility study will depend largely on the project or program you are proposing to address the need of your organization. Be sure that each section is fully addressed.Your feasibility study should:

    • Provide relevant information on the organization (Section I).
    • Analyze the objectives of the proposed program (Section II).
      • Explain why you are proposing the program.
        • Where does it fit within the organization?
        • What systems will be affected by it?
        • What systems issues will it address?
      • Explain how both patients and the organization will benefit from implementing the proposed program.
      • Provide evidence that the program is needed.
    • Explain the value of the program (Section III).
      • How well does it align to the organization’s mission?
      • How well does it fit with existing programs and services?
      • Do competitors offer something similar? If so, how will your program give your organization a competitive advantage?
    • Analyze the potential financial and economic issues of implementing the program (Section IV).
      • Identify any economic issues that could affect the success of the program.
      • Explain how your program could affect the local economy (both positively and negatively).
      • Identify possible funding sources.
      • Estimate the cost of implementing and maintaining your program.
    • Analyze the marketing issues associated with your program (Section V).
      • Explain how your program may affect the existing marketing approach.
      • Explain how your program will meet the needs of the target market demographic.
      • Explain how you will differentiate your program from those of competitors.
    • Determine how the program may affect the entire organization (Section VI).
      • Are there regulatory or policy implications?
      • Will new licenses or certificates be required for the organization or staff members?
      • Will the program affect the tax status of the organization?
      • How might the program affect liability and risk management?
      • Do you have enough space for the program?
      • Do you have evidence to support the effectiveness of the program?
    • Recommend a course of action based on the information in the feasibility study.
      • How does your recommendation reflect ethical decision making?

    Deliverable Format

    The feasibility study is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines, including single-spaced paragraphs.Organize your document using this structure:

    • Title page. (What is the title of your proposed program?)
    • Executive summary. (Many executives require an executive summary for projects of this type. The summary is written last, but becomes the first section of the feasibility study and provides an overview of the goals and objectives, summarizes the key points supporting the need, summarizes the key points supporting your proposed program, and includes your conclusion and recommendations.)
    • Feasibility study.
    • References page.
      • APA-formatted references.
    • Written using language appropriate for an executive audience.

    Evaluation

    By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:

    • Competency 1: Analyze how economic, legal, regulatory, and policy factors influence the organization and financing of health care delivery systems.
      • Provide relevant information on an organization.
      • Analyze the potential financial and economic issues associated with implementing the proposed program.
      • Analyze the marketing issues associated with the proposed program.
    • Competency 2: Analyze relationships between elements of a health care system and organizational goals.
      • Explain the value of a proposed program.
    • Competency 3: Analyze how health care systems influence decision making within health care organizations.
