“Continuous Improvement Action Plan for a Hypothetical Team: Assessing and Enhancing Team Performance” “Effective Use of Information and Proper Citation: Evaluating Information Literacy and References in Student Papers”
Module 4 – Case
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Case Assignment
You have been assessing the team all the way through the course, but in this Case, you are going to condense your analysis into a format that will become the basis for an action plan for continuous improvement. (You are looking at this from the perspective of this being a hypothetical team.)
Review your SLPs, and Cases from Modules 1-3, and create a table (see below). Below the table are five areas of discussion and each area has 2-3 questions to address. Put one question into each box in the column on the left with the heading “Question.”
For each question, enter yes or no and list appropriate actions for improvement in the column on the right.
In your conclusion paragraph summarize what you have found with your assessment of the team. Provide the “why” you made the assertion rather than a mere descriiption of a process or theory.
Example:
Question Yes/No Appropriate Actions
Team Design
Is the chosen leadership structure optimal for guiding and ensuring team success?
Yes Schedule has been kept and working relationships have grown over time. Leadership is a process, a complex and dynamic exchange relationship built over time between leader and follower and between leader and the group of followers who depend on each other to attain a mutually desired goal (Hollander & Julian, 1969).
The Case Assignment should address the following:
Team Design
Is the chosen leadership structure optimal for guiding and ensuring team success?
Are there adequate opportunities for the development of ideas and creativity? If not, how can this be achieved?
Team Climate
Is trust established individually between members and through team task assignments? If not, how can this be accomplished?
Is there an open dialogue regarding team and individual responsibilities and accountability? If not, how can this be accomplished?
Team Resources
Did the team develop a communication plan? If so, what are the details and purpose of the plan? If not, why would a communication plan be relevant?
Does the team make use of relevant collaboration tools? Which tools are used and what is the agreed-upon frequency of use?
Team Norms and Procedures
What agreed-upon norms guide team communication?
What procedures are in place to assist in the management and accomplishment of team projects and tasks?
Team Improvement
What procedures are in place for ensuring success by capturing knowledge for later assessment and learning?
Does the team actively assess and monitor areas of improvement? If so, how?
Which areas need improvement, and what is needed to make these improvements?
Assignment Expectations
Your paper should be a minimum of five pages (excluding title and references pages) and include a minimum of three high-quality peer-reviewed scholarly sources found in the Trident Online Library. The assignment should include a title page, an introduction, a body of work (table), a conclusion, and a reference list page.
Your paper will be evaluated using the following six criteria:
Assignment-Driven Criteria (Precision and Breadth): Does the paper fully address all Keys to the Assignment? Are the concepts behind the Keys to the Assignment addressed accurately and precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length requirements?
Critical Thinking (Critical Thinking and Depth): Does the paper demonstrate graduate-level analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions, and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized in the formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the topic with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
Business Writing (Clarity and Organization): Is the paper well written (clear, developed logically, and well organized)? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for graduate-level work? Are section headings included in all papers? Are paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding to the Keys to the Assignment, or is justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct quotations?
Effective Use of Information (Information Literacy and References): Does the paper demonstrate that the student has read, understood, and can apply the background materials for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated effective research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality sources? Do additional sources used in paper provide strong support for conclusions drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?
Citing Sources: Does the student demonstrate an understanding of APA Style of referencing, by the inclusion of proper end references and in-text citations (for paraphrased text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references used from the Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research) been included, and are these properly cited? Have all end references been included within the body of the paper as in-text citations? -
Title: Analyzing Organizational Issues and Providing Recommendations for Improvement: A Case Study of XYZ Organization
Select, research, and analyze a real organization (public, private, or non-profit). You may select an organization in which you have worked or have been a member. Follow the format attached below to generate the paper.
Examine a problem or issue of concern within that organization. Be selective in choosing an issue or problem within an organization, as a lack of depth in the issue itself will not be an acceptable excuse for lack of depth in the analysis. The purpose of this CLA is to apply both what has been learned in the course as well as your own independent research to problems in an organization of your choice. Focus on an issue or problem that the organization is facing and is relevant to the content of this course. It will likely take several reflection sessions to identify a problem or issue that can be clearly defined, is manageable in scope, and is relevant to the course, so start this CLA weeks before it is due. Gather information while supplementing this information with data from the media, the organization’s literature, and other secondary sources. You should identify a relatively recent problem to analyze (i.e., this should not be an historical account of a problem and the company’s solution). You should focus your analysis by applying the concepts from the course. While it is acceptable to incorporate several concepts from the course, please aim for depth rather than breadth regarding the use of course concepts. To meet these broad goals, answer the following questions in a 6 to 7 page APA formatted written report supported by at least eight (8) academic sources (must be peer-reviewed and books are not peer-reviewed sources):
1) What are the issues or problems facing the organization?
2) What theoretical concepts from this course can be applied to understand why this problem is occurring? 3) What recommendations can you offer to help improve organizational functioning? -
“Effective Communication in the Workplace: Addressing Inappropriate Behavior and Improving Team Dynamics” Effective Communication in the Workplace: Addressing Inappropriate Behavior and Improving Team Dynamics
Hello Students, For this Discussion, you need to read Part III “Communicating with Others Proactively” in your textbook.
Discuss the key elements of positive and proactive communications that are missing in the below scenario and any other aspects of the situation you feel need to be corrected (and why). Also, complete any tasks within the scenario. Then respond to at least two (2) of your peer’s answers by selecting the “Reply” link. Were they effective in their approach to each scenario? Discussion Scenario:
(A). One-on-one supervisor with employees
Your peer (a first-line supervisor at a major retail store) is conducting a performance evaluation of a subordinate in the break room, where numerous other employees are eating lunch. Your peer is raising their voice and noticeably frustrated with the employee. The employee is attempting to defend their position but it is obvious your peer will not let them get a word in edge-wise. You notice numerous other employees shaking their heads. You decide to approach your peer (also a friend) and address what you saw. What do you say?
(B). Supervisor to a team
You are a team member on a major project for a defense contractor. Your supervisor has just called an “urgent meeting” to discuss the current problems with the project’s progress. The project is months behind and slightly over budget. Most people feel it is due to the lack of resources (your project is the third priority). The meeting is in 30 minutes and you have no additional details as to the meeting content. Your supervisor routinely calls meetings with little or no warning and then expects various employees to brief their portions of the project. When employees cannot brief their sections, the meeting is often canceled and rescheduled for after normal working hours to allow “time to better prepare (words of your supervisor).” You have had enough; you decide to email your supervisor and recommend a better way to conduct the meeting.
(C). Supervisor with a manager.
You are the manager of a department at the local shipyard. You have 7 supervisors that work for you and run the day-to-day operations of your six divisions. One of your supervisors continually disrupts planning meetings to discuss personal problems within their division. They dominate the meeting time and often no one else gets to talk. You have talked to him and counseled him several times about the proper time and place to discuss the specific division and worker problems. Your friend (a manager of another department) recommends that your move the supervisor to a less challenging division or have the meeting without him. What are you going to do? How? Why? Submit your answer in this Discussion by selecting “Post New Thread” above. -

You will prepare a slide deck containing your analysis and recommendations that could be presented to the organization’s Board.
ASSIGNMENT: Your presentation will be 11-14 slides long, not including the title and references slides. It must include the following slides:
Title
Executive Summary
Organization Background
Internal Strengths
Internal Weaknesses
External Opportunities

If you’ve never used a presentation tool like PowerPoint or Google Slides before, don’t worry! The assignment template below will help you create slides for a basic slide presentation. Then you’ll be able to practice using the presentation technology as you put the finishing touches on your presentation.
Touchstone 4 Template
Touchstone 4 Sample
Before you get started, let’s look at how you’ll be building the presentation, step by step
A. Directions
Step 1: Choose an Organization
Select an organization that you are familiar with.
The most successful learners select an organization that is a public company with readily available information to meet the analysis requirements of the rubric. These successful learners do not rely solely on their personal knowledge but instead use evidence from references to support points in the touchstone.
Learners that struggle with this touchstone are those who select an organization that is small, hyper-local, non-profit, or governmental; this includes municipalities or the company they work for. We suggest you avoid organizations in these categories.
Organizations that should NOT be used include:
Amazon
Amnesty International
US Bank
Walmart
Tesla
Step 2: Create Presentation Slides
Use a presentation tool like PowerPoint or Google Slides to outline and organize your presentation. Your presentation must include the following:
SlideComponent
Title SlideYour title slide will be the first slide and should include your name, the date, and the name of the organization you selected.
Executive SummaryAn executive summary should include the main points of your presentation in 1-2 slides (no more than 2). It should also include your recommendations in 1-3 bullet points. As a general rule, it is usually best (and easiest) to write the executive summary last—after the rest of your presentation is completed.
Organization BackgroundThe organization background should be brief—no more than 1-2 slides. It should include a brief history of the organization, in addition to the major products or services offered and the markets that are served. Other possible categories include the founding date, mission statement, annual profits, sales regions, etc.
Internal StrengthsUsing what you have learned about SWOT analysis, identify 4-6 strengths internally within the organization. You may have to make some inferences based on what you know or perceive about the organization.
Internal WeaknessesUsing what you have learned about SWOT analysis, identify 4-6 weaknesses internally within the organization. You may have to make some inferences based on what you know or perceive about the organization.
External OpportunitiesUsing what you have learned about SWOT analysis, list 4-6 opportunities facing the organization externally. Opportunities and threats are generally easier to identify than internal strengths and weaknesses, and are typically shared across the same industry.
External ThreatsUsing what you have learned about SWOT analysis, list 4-6 threats facing the organization externally. Opportunities and threats are generally easier to identify than internal strengths and weaknesses, and are typically shared across the same industry.
Macro Environment Analysis: PESTELApplying the PESTEL framework to the organization, identify 1-3 factors for each of the following: Political Factors, Economic Factors, Sociocultural Factors, Technological Factors, Environmental Factors, Legal Factors.
Micro Industry Analysis: Porter’s Five ForcesAnalyze the industry the organization competes in by applying what you have learned about Porter’s Five Forces of industry analysis. You should list 2-3 observations for each of the following factors: Threat of New Entrants, Threat of Substitutes, Supplier Power, Buyer Power, and Industry Rivalry.
Generic Strategy RecommendationsGiven what you have learned from your internal and external analysis of the organization, are they pursuing the right strategy? If so, why? If not, what might you recommend? Is the recommended (or current) strategy the right “fit” for the environment in which the organization competes? Be sure to select one of Porter’s three generic strategies and provide your rationale: Cost Leadership, Differentiation, or Focus.
Organization Design RecommendationsIs the organization optimally designed (structured) for either your recommended or their current strategy? For example, if they are pursuing a Cost Leadership strategy, do they have a low-cost operating model? The objective here is to determine and demonstrate the degree of “fit” between strategy and structure.
Ethical ConsiderationsWhat are some of the ethical considerations for your recommended (or current) strategy? Is the organization positioned for long-term sustainability? Are there issues which may ultimately affect the organization’s ability to attract and retain talented employees or maintain the credibility of their brand? Are there potential ethical dilemmas in executing any recommended changes? The need to potentially layoff thousands of workers or stop paying for benefits such as healthcare to lower operating expenses, for example?
ReferencesThis touchstone requires you to use at least four sources, including the course tutorials. Ideas for outside sources include (but are not limited to) organization websites, annual reports, or news articles from reputable magazines or newspapers. Following APA formatting, your sources should appear in alphabetical order.
Step 3: Add Speaker Notes
For this assignment, you are not actually giving a presentation, but rather just preparing a slide deck that summarizes your findings and recommendations.
An important step in the preparation of a speech is writing speaker notes. Speaker notes are notes added to a slide presentation as a reference for the presenter and can be found below each slide. For this touchstone, add your speaker notes to explain your analysis using information from your sources. If you were giving an oral presentation, these notes wouldn’t be visible to your audience when you’re in Presenter View. But you would be able to see them, and they would guide you through your presentation.
Your speaker notes will be used to evaluate your project, so make sure you write in complete sentences and pay attention to spelling and grammar. Also, make sure you’re citing the information from your sources using in-text citations in APA style. These citations should include the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source, for example, (Mitchell, 2014).
Most presentation software will automatically display a field for speaker notes. If using Keynote, you can access the speaker notes by clicking on View, then Show Presenter Notes.
Step 4: Submit Presentation
Once you have completed your slides and corresponding speaker notes, it is time to submit your presentation. If you are using PowerPoint, you simply need to save your presentation and upload this file to Sophia. If you are using another slide presentation technology, download the slide deck as a Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) and upload this version to Sophia.
