Discuss effective communication and team-building strategies you would employ to ensure success and sustainability in your change

Instructions

For this assignment, you will identify either a real change that occurred in your work setting, or you can create a change that you would like to see happen. Examples could be a change to self-scheduling, implementing a new practice or procedure, implementing bedside shift report, increasing hours of operation at a health clinic so staff will have to work weekends, etc. You may select one of the change theories from the PowerPoint, or select another change theory from the literature. You will do the following:

Identify the change that is to occur providing background as to why the change is necessary

Identify a change theory that you would select as a leader to implement the change

Discuss the steps in the change theory and explain in detail how you would operationalize each step as you work through your specific change (for example, if one of the steps is “communicate the change vision” how would you do this specifically? Staff meetings, posters, etc?)

Discuss effective communication and team-building strategies you would employ to ensure success and sustainability in your change

This information will be presented in the form of a PowerPoint Presentation. Your presentation is to be submitted to the Assignments tab, in APA format. It should be approximately 8-10 slides, including the title slide and reference slide.

The recording should be a minimum of 10 minutes and not exceed 15 minutes in length.

This presentation should have 4 references from current (within 5 years) scholarly, peer-reviewed journals to support the change theory and the need for change. There should be a reference slide at the end of the presentation. Please be sure APA formatting for presentations is applied.

CISC 665 Nova Southeastern University Assignment 1 This assignment is worth 30% of your total grade. Description An exactly-once service will guarantee a client’s request is processed at most once and at least once, provided the client does not fail. Your task in this assignment is to implement an exactly-once service in a client-server system. There is a single server in this system that supports multiple clients. This server must support non-volatile data and must recover from a crash. Connection-less protocols do not guarantee message delivery. The protocol implementation is based on a “best try”. In this assignment you will design and implement your communication using datagrams. The server’s exactly-once service must implement a data structure that will hold a fiveletter string. Initially the string is blank. When a client sends a successful request to the server, the server will modify its five-letter string in the following manner: • Shift the first four characters of the server string to the right by one character. • Store the character transmitted by the client in first slot of the server’s string. For example, the current value of the server string is “lmnop”. If the client passed in an “x”, the server would create a new string with the value “xlmno” and return this string to the client. You must design and implement a test plan for the exactly-once service. This includes error/fault injection. The system must be able to handle a server crash and begin running from the point in which it ended. Thus, you must have a mechanism for starting a clean system as well as a system that has just recovered from a crash. The client and server will display their activities to the screen and contain a logging mechanism.

Use the Student_Data which consists of 200 MBA students at Whatsamattu U. It includes variables regarding their age, gender, major, GPA, Bachelors GPA, course load, English speaking status, family, and weekly hours spent studying.

Historically, the MBA program at Whatsamattu U. has about 40% of their students choose a Leadership major, 30% choose a Finance major, 20% choose a Marketing major, and 10% choose no major. Does the most recent class of 200 MBA students fit that same pattern or has there been a shift in the choice of majors. Using the sample of 200 students (in the data file), conduct a Chi Square Goodness of Fit test to determine if the current distribution fits the historical pattern. Use a .05 significance level.
