    3079.1.1 : Project Management

    The graduate explains how project management concepts can help an organization achieve its goals.

    INTRODUCTION

    Today’s business environment requires competency in project management. In this assessment, you will explain how project management concepts can help an organization achieve its goals. You will take on the role of a market owner who goes through all five phases of project management (i.e., initiation, planning, execution, control, and closure) to launch a new catering service. As you complete the assessment, think about past projects you have initiated, planned, executed, controlled, and closed. Your experience in planning past projects can help you recognize possible risks and functions that will need to be managed in this performance assessment.

    SCENARIO

    You are the owner of a local organic food market in an urban area at the crossroads of four farming communities that supply fresh, organic foods. As the owner of the market, you are interested in growing the business.

     

    Customers in the area have been asking local vendors for more organic and locally sourced fresh food options. You decide to create a catering service for clients within 25 miles of the market to celebrate the market’s 10-year anniversary. You plan to start this catering business in 30 days to address the increasing market need for organic, fresh catering. Catering orders will be prepared and packaged at the organic food market and then driven to the customer’s location. Lunch orders will be delivered within 60 minutes of receiving the order. Special event catering orders will require one week to fulfill the order. The catering company has one van that will be used exclusively for catering services.

     

    You have identified the following goals for this catering business:

     

    •  The catering business will need to be able to sell the same quality, organic foods that are sold in-store and supplied daily.
    •  The catering customers can be no farther than 25 miles from the store so that food can be delivered within an hour.
    •  The catering business should be profitable within one year.
    •  The cost of developing the catering business should not negatively impact the in-store retail operations budget, staffing, events, and farmer partnerships.

     

    You plan to launch the catering business by providing a free catered lunch to the first 10 businesses that subscribe to the weekly lunch catering services. The catered lunch for each business will be for up to 30 people and will be held at a local conference center ballroom at noon on a day of the customer’s choosing. The budget for this launch of 10 catered lunches is $7,000.

     

    Two weeks before the launch, you are working with catering staff to calculate the costs of the launch to date, review tasks that need to be completed, and assess the overall impact of catering on in-store retail operations. You learn that the costs associated with the launch of the free catered lunches have already exceeded $7,700. Additionally, a local farmer that provides the fresh lettuce for lunch salads notifies you that the lettuce will not be available in time for the catered lunch. No other local farmers have lettuce available for purchase, and the only option is to use nonorganic lettuce in order to keep the menu as communicated to the 10 businesses subscribing to the weekly lunch catering services.

     

    A financial company representative wants to inquire about possibly financing your company for this project. The representative sends a request for information to you as listed in the requirements for this task.

  • The Foundations of Leadership

    $15.00
    HR Leadership Development: The Foundations of Leadership
    Write a 3-5 page paper in which you define leadership, influence, and communication unique to the

     

    human resource professional. Introduction Human resource professionals provide a unique role in the organization. While they may lead a team,
    their true test of leadership comes from their relationships and influence throughout the organization.
    They may be called upon to partner in the implementation of organizational strategies. They may be
    sought out to coach leaders in ways to handle employee relationships. They may be needed to enforce
    and guide human resource policies. In all cases, the strength of the individual leadership skills comes
    into play.
    Many human resource competencies are nonnegotiable, because a lack of them could mean the
    difference between business success or failure. No smart business owner with employees will—nor
    should—discount the impact of human beings and their contribution, connection, communication, and
    emotion when conducting business. This should be where human resources comes in.

    foundation for the remaining course assessments. Therefore, it is recommended you complete this
    assessment first.
    Introduction To assist your understanding of leadership and the unique role of the human resource professional, you
    will be writing a paper defining the unique role of leadership, influence, and communication for human
    resource professionals. You will explore leadership theories as well as review resources on the unique
    role human resource professionals play as leaders in the organization. You will then analyze how you see
    these foundations of leadership and human resource leadership in your current or future role as a
    human resource professional.
    A solid understanding of leadership and its unique role as a human resource professional will also serve
    as a foundation for upcoming course assessments.
    Scenario You work in the Human Resource Department and have just been promoted to a supervisor position.
    Your role in this new position will be to lead your team as well as be a human resource strategic partner
    and resource to leaders and employees in the organization. To be effective in this new position, you
    need to learn what it means to be an effective leader. This includes understanding the foundations of
    leadership, your choices of leadership style, and the influence skills required in a human
    resource position. You have decided to research and decide what models of leadership you will use in
    your new position.
    Leadership Development Challenge This assessment is designed to create foundations for you in the leadership development area by
    discussing key elements of leadership, influence, and communication in the human resource profession.

    This will also set the stage for your application of these foundations in the upcoming course
    assessments.
    Instructions Write a 3–5 page paper in which you define leadership, influence, and communication unique to the
    human resource professional. You will identify two leadership theories that resonate for you as you
    envision your leadership style for this new position.

    compiles a clear overview of current leadership theories in Chapter 1, “What Does It Mean to Be a
    Leader?” Using this text allows you to examine a variety of relevant leadership theories from a single
    source. Additional resources are also provided to supplement the course text and provide additional
    perspectives.

  • Interpret Financial Leverage

    $15.00

    Financial leveraging is the process of using debt to fund asset expansion. Companies are cognizant of the risks associated with over-leveraging, but it also dilutes shareholders’ values. Additionally, the provider of the debt will put a limit on how much risk it has the capacity to undertake.

    For this week’s assignment, you will review the implication of financial leverage. Generally, financial leverage serves to magnify changes in net income and related financial ratios. Financial leverage will also help to determine, through research, a major component in the potential growth of a corporation and needs to be implemented effectively. Financial leverage is a key component that is factored into the equation for future expansion of a firm but it is not the only component that is factored into management’s decision. Other factors may include economic and market risks.

    Length: Create a 5-minute video with language that supports the role of leveraging, the impacts, both positive and negative, and what matrices will be used to determine if a company adequately leveraged or over leveraged.

    References: Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources.

    The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards

  • HR CHALLENGE: PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND THE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE

    $20.00

    HR CHALLENGE: PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND THE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE

    Assignment Introduction

    Scenario

    This assignment examines how to assess the effectiveness of a performance management process and how to design and manage the employee experience (organization perspective) in a legacy architectural engineering company.

    You work in a founder-based organization. The company designs large bridges for locations all over the world. It is located in a small town and is the largest employer in the area. The company has a great technical reputation in the business, but they have not had a human resources professional working in the organization until you arrived. The company has a tough, somewhat dated, approach to many things.

    • There is no on-boarding process; employees are expected to starting work day one of their employment.
    • There are no performance appraisals at the end of the year, and employees who have performance problems are separated and never get a chance to grow and reach their full potential.
    • There are no recognition programs and employees seem confused about how to move up in the organization.
    • There are promotions, but there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason as to how people are selected for advancement.
    • While design and engineering work is detailed and complicated, no employees have an office. Cubicles are very small and very close to each other.
    • Current employees complain they have nowhere nearby to eat.

    For this assignment, you will be creating a persuasive presentation that is intended to convince your company’s owner that a modern employee experience is of value. Key areas such as employee engagement, communication, and performance evaluation should all be aligned. Employees should be encouraged through robust learning programs linked to both pay and awards of individual and team recognition rich with meaning and symbols. Lastly, employees should receive meaningful performance feedback that focuses on their successes as well as challenges. Feedback should be presented in a way that encourages the employee and reduces the traditional stress associated with the performance appraisal process.
