Assignment Details

Infographics are visual representations of information, knowledge, or data to present information. Graphics intend to assist the audience with understanding the data presented.
A team’s success or failure depends on its individual members’ behaviors. Negative behavior by one team member can be enough to derail the success of the team. Every team member or workgroup has an ethical responsibility to take one’s duties seriously. In reviewing you leadership development plan, you decide to add a component that addresses team building from an ethical perspective. You want to guide the team development that supports a culture of ethics in the workplace.
For Part 4 of the report on ethics, you will create a 1-page informative infographic using no less than 7 terms associated with the team building stages and their impact on a multi-cultural workforce. Watch the following video about how to create an infographic:
Conduct a 4-page analysis that addresses the following:

Examine each term.
Explain why each term is significant to the ethical leadership of a multi-cultural workforce.
Identify the strengths, weaknesses, threats, opportunities and their impact on a multi-cultural workforce.

Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:

Title page: Remember the running head. The title should be in all capitals.
Length: 5 pages minimum
Body: This begins on the page following the title page and must be double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or quadruple-space between paragraphs). The typeface should be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics, except as required for APA-level headings and references. The deliverable length of the body of your paper for this assignment is 5 pages. In-body academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety of academic sources is encouraged.
Reference page: References that align with your in-body academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format using appropriate spacing, hanging indent, italics, and uppercase and lowercase usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the Reference page is not a bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated in-body citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-body citation.

Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health.

Assessment 4 Instructions: Stakeholder Presentation
Top of Form
Bottom of Form
· For this assessment you will create an 8-12 slide PowerPoint presentation for one or more stakeholder or leadership groups to generate interest and buy-in for the plan proposal you developed for the third assessment.
As a current or future nurse leader, you may be called upon to present to stakeholders and leadership about projects that you have been involved in or wish to implement. The ability to communicate a plan—and potential implications of not pursuing such a plan—to stakeholders effectively can be critically important in creating awareness and buy-in, as well as building your personal and professional brand in your organization. It is equally important that you know how to create compelling presentations for others’ delivery and ensure that they convey the same content you would deliver if you were the presenter.
You are encouraged to complete the Evidence-Based Practice: Basics and Guidelines activity before you develop the presentation. This activity consists of six questions that will create the opportunity to check your understanding of the fundamentals of evidence-based practice as well as ways to identify EBP in practice. The information gained from completing this formative will help promote success in the Stakeholder Presentation and demonstrate courseroom engagement—it requires just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
Demonstration of Proficiency
· Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health. 
1. Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.
<li”>Competency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes. 
1. Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal.
· Competency 3: Describe ways to incorporate evidence-based practice within an interdisciplinary team. 
2. Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an organizational or patient issue.
2. Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.
· Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes. 
3. Slides are easy to read and error free. Detailed speaker notes are provided.
3. Organize content with clear purpose/goals and with relevant and evidence-based sources (published within 5 years) with an APA formatted reference list with few errors.
Professional Context
This assessment will provide you with an opportunity to sharpen your ability to create a professional presentation to stakeholders. In this presentation, you will explain the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle and how it can be used to introduce the plan (P), implement the plan (D), study the effectiveness of the plan (S), and act on what is learned (A) to drive continuous improvement. By using this cycle, the stakeholders will have a tool and a proposal to expand on these ideas to drive workplace change and create improved processes to solve an interprofessional collaboration problem.
Scenario
In addition to summarizing the key points of Assessments 2 and 3, you will provide stakeholders and/or leadership with an overview of project specifics as well as how success would be evaluated—you will essentially be presenting a discussion of the Plan, Do, and Study parts of the PDSA cycle. Again, you will not be expected to execute the project, so you will not have any results to study. However, by carefully examining the ways in which your plan 
could be carried out and evaluated, you will get some of the experience of the thinking required for PDSA. 

When creating your PowerPoint for this assessment, it is important to keep in mind the target audience: your interviewee’s organizational leadership. The overall goal of this assessment is to create a presentation that your interviewee could potentially give in his or her organization.
Instructions
Please follow the Capella 

Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX]

2. Must have some societal value.
Projects will
not be approved if they will be only disruptive or if they are trivial.

You are encouraged to select a project that you personally value and a goal for which you have a genuine concern that goes beyond a simple need to fulfill a course requirement. Don’t waste your time on something you don’t care about! You are encouraged to talk to the instructor about your project ideas as early as possible if you are not sure about your project’s suitability.
The Proposal

No later than the end of Lesson 2

, you must submit a one-page proposal which shares:

1. A concise statement of what the change project is and why it is important.
2. A brief plan of what you think has to be done to achieve the change.
3. A statement of how you will measure whether the change has been accomplished.
Projects or an agreed-upon segment of the project (should your project be extensive) should be completed by the end of the course. Key criteria used to evaluate the project will be its prospects for success and the learning exhibited as a result of the project. This learning includes an integrated, comprehensive understanding of the course materials.
Interim Reports of the Project
There are OPTIONAL interim change project reports for this assignment. All will be included in your final report but are optional for submission as we go along if you’d like feedback in advance:
1. Choice of change model report
(Lesson 3)

2. Need for change and vision statement
(Lesson 5)

3. Stakeholder, force field and power analysis
(Lesson 7)

4. A description of your proposed action plan
(Lesson 9)

I recommend that you complete these as we cover the topics in class, and I strongly recommend you undertake them sequentially. I also understand time is tight for some folks, so you might need to work on an alternate timeline and not submit these drafts. If you do, I will provide you with feedback
provided they are submitted by their due dates on the schedule. You can then incorporate this feedback into your final report.

The Final Report
Your final report should be a narrative of what you have learned by analyzing certain aspects of the issue and considering certain components of change. While the information within the Interim Reports will make up a lot of the information for the Final Report, you will also include the following within for the Final Report.
5. Using your chosen change model and your Interim Reports,
discuss how your change project might alter things over time as well as how you’d
evaluate your successes and assess your challenges
. Incorporate relevant learnings/insights from the course materials in this discussion. Demonstrate your understanding of the course material (cite it!) with this description.

6.
Reflect on what you,
personally, have learned from undertaking the project
. Specify what lessons you have learned to apply to future change activities and what this project has taught you about yourself as a change agent. Relate your learnings/insights to both the change model and the course readings. This section is critical to your grade.

Note: Most of the emphasis in the report should be on demonstrating your knowledge of change management and discussing the learning from the project.

Think about some of the leaders in your life and career. Do you think they are good leaders? Bad leaders? A little bit of both? How much of your assessment of their leadership effectiveness is tied to the leader’s communication patterns?

Getting Started

Take a moment and think about some of the leaders in your life and career. Do you think they are good leaders? Bad leaders? A little bit of both?
How much of your assessment of their leadership effectiveness is tied to the leader’s communication patterns? Do they listen or ignore? Are they inspiring or defeating? Do they energize or de-energize? Are they critical or supportive? How do they make you feel about yourself?
Often, much of how we assess our leaders has a communication component to it. Communication can be complex, especially at the organizational level. However, becoming a better communicator can be a key “tool” to become a better organizational leader.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

· Articulate the key challenges and opportunities for effective organizational communication.

Background Information

Communication is often considered the glue that holds organizations together. It binds all of the parts together so that leaders and members can achieve the organizational mission. One important idea about communication is that we are always doing it. Even choosing not to communicate is communicating “something.” For that reason, within the organizational context the question is not whether communication is occurring. In many ways, an organization “is” communication. Rather, the key question is how well or how effectively we are communicating. Lots of factors can influence communication effectiveness. For example, organizations with tall hierarchies have unique communication characteristics when compared to organizations that are more decentralized or flatter. Issues also can emerge when we consider the difference between formal and informal communication. Within any organization, there are barriers to good communication as well as habits, interventions, or skills to promote good communication and a productive organization.

Module 2 – SLP

STRATEGIES, ASSESSMENT, TOOLS, AND OUTCOMES IN QI

Outcome measures (mortality, readmission, patient experience, etc.) are the quality
and cost targets healthcare organizations are trying to improve. There are a vast
array of outcome measures, likely in the hundreds. However, the seven outcome
measures the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (2016) uses to
calculate hospital quality are some of the most common in healthcare: (1) general
information, (2) survey of patients’ experiences, (3) timely & effective care, (4)
complications, (5) readmissions & deaths, (6) use of medical imaging, and (7)
payment & value of care. Outcome assessments are tools used for collection and
analysis of evidence about the achievement/attainment of a certain measure for the
purposes of improvement and to determine or demonstrate its effectiveness.

You have been selected to be a part of the Assessment Team at Trident International
Hospital (TIH). Explain the two tools that were selected, identify why they would be beneficial
to use in the assessment process, and describe how the tools would be ideal in
demonstrating whether or not wait time has been impacted based on the changes. In
addition, discuss the reliability and accuracy of each selected tool.
TIH has recently remodeled and restructured the emergency room
(ER) department. The team will be conducting a quality assessment to see if wait
time in the ER has been reduced as a result of the changes. As part of the
preliminary development of the assessment process, you have been asked to
research and provide two outcome assessment tools that can be used as a part of
this process.

In a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation (10 slides not including title or reference
slide), explain the two tools that were selected, identify why they would be beneficial
to use in the assessment process, and describe how the tools would be ideal in
demonstrating whether or not wait time has been impacted based on the changes. In
addition, discuss the reliability and accuracy of each selected tool.

Classmate response 1- Abigail
How well do the career development theories discussed in Chapter 3 of Career Development Interventions address individuals from diverse backgrounds? Guide career behavior? Guide career decision-making?When reading about Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) and how this theory applies to career development, it was interesting to learn about findings regarding diverse backgrounds and their relation to career development. SCCT is useful when applying it to persistence at overcoming obstacles. This can be analyzed through self-efficacy. Niles and Harris-Bowlsbey (2017) mention that “self-efficacy beliefs are low due to factors such as racism and sex-role stereotyping, clients can be exposed to personally relevant, vicarious learning opportunities.” By knowing this, interventions can be applied to address individuals from diverse backgrounds, in order to strengthen their self-efficacy. The text also explains how the  Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) addresses how individuals can make career decisions through a three-factor Parsonian model. This theory’s interventions address career decision-making through different dimensions. These dimensions are: the pyramid of information processing, the Communication, Analysis, Synthesis, Valuing, and Execution (CASVE) cycle of decision-making skills; and the executive processing domain (Niles and Harris-Bowlsbey, 2017).
How does Social Cognitive Career Theory and Krumboltz’s theory influence career outcomes? How do these theories guide and emphasize your own personal career?According to both of these theories, there are several factors that influence career decision making. Whether it be as a result of self efficacy or unpredictable social factors, I think that these theories have both guided my own personal career. For example, I decided to further my education after high school as a result of my own self-efficacy because I believed that I was capable of such attainment. At the same time, there were other social factors that I could not control, but directed to towards the path of my career. One of the major factors is the economic factor. I felt and continue to feel like without seeking an appropriate career, there is a large financial factor that plays a role because what we do for a living and how much money we make essentially controls everything else in our lives. 
How might your own cultural background affect the efficacy of the career intervention strategies you chose to use with your students?I think that my own cultural background affects the efficacy of the career intervention strategies I choose to use with my students because I believe that career decision-making is a result of my own self-efficacy which may result in me taking a SCCT approach when working with students. At the same time, I believe that I can incorporate this into SEL curriculum because they will be able to build confidence and also have a positive attitude towards themselves and what they feel capable of. This may also go hand in hand with teaching students to have a growth mindset.

How well do the career development theories discussed in Chapter 3 of Career Development Interventions address individuals from diverse backgrounds? Guide career behavior? Guide career decision-making?

The first one that can be a barrier can be the financial situation, that may be one of the biggest one that there might not be money so they will have to go to work to be able to support the family. The next one can be that they might be first generation, not a lot of information or motivation might be there, but with the proper support and information they can take advantage of all the resources that can be offered to first gen college students. 

How does Social Cognitive Career Theory and Krumboltz’s theory influence career outcomes? How do these theories guide and emphasize your own personal career?

Krumbolt’z theory I feel that was a big influence in where I am right now in life with the life transitions and approach them positively. Growing up I was close to my uncle and he was a teacher and when I was on vacation I would go with him. I then felt the love and passion he had for teaching, so I wanted to do the same positive changes and impact. Once I started college, I was easily drawn out of it and stopped going to college. I then started working at a local grocery store which I thought was a good paying job. After a couple years I couldn’t afford it so I got a second job at a local after school program and that is what brought me back the spark and desire to get back to school and work in the education field. I quit my morning job and went back to school instead and worked in the after school program. I feel that the path that I took had to do a lot with the life transitions that I had everything just turned out the way that it was suppose to be. 

How might your own cultural background affect the efficacy of the career intervention strategies you chose to use with your students?

I feel that the way that it would affect it, would be if working with students that have not passed through any experience. I feel that sharing my own experience and how it worked out would motivate them to continue school or at least to give it a try. I came from a family where my parents did not attend college, so I did not know what to expect. Sharing all the resources and services that are out there might be helpful for those that finance might be a barrier. That is the only thing that I see can happen but other than that it would be a great experience. 

 Identify the financial issues Lake Forest City Schools or Muddy Water Community College are experiencing.

 Assume the role of an administrator. If you choose a K-12 focus, your role is Assistant Superintendent for Finance. If you choose an institute of higher education for your focus, your role is Vice President of Finance and Administration. In your capacity, you are a member of the task force charged with brainstorming solutions for ongoing budget issues. As part of the task force, you will develop potential solutions for the issues as addressed in the assignment and include justifications for the solutions you develop. One of the largest issues you are currently facing is that if cuts are not made to the budget, then there is a possibility of having to place some staff members on an indefinite furlough in order to reduce costs. This is definitely something you want to avoid. As part of the task force, you will develop at least three potential solutions for the budget issues as addressed in the assignment and include justifications for the solutions you develop. 
You are the Assistant Superintendent for finance in Lake Forest City Schools (LFCS). Enrollment at LFCS is strong, with just over 3,500 students. Approximately 75 percent of the school district’s operating revenue comes from local taxes and city funding. It is February and the fiscal year ends on June 30. The city has not sent the last 3 million dollars of your annual state appropriation. The City Treasurer indicates that property tax income is lower than expected because many families experienced unemployment due to the recent pandemic. Your district has a small grant of less than 5 million dollars. There is enough operating cash to pay salaries through the end of May. If the needed funds are not received after May, teaching contracts will be held up and some faculty and staff members will face an indefinite furlough.
Programs and positions under consideration for budget cuts include, but are not limited to:

Special education.
Arts.
Vocational education.
After-school tutoring programs.
Extracurricular activities.
