1) Explain in your own words why you believe planning is important. Select one of the following businesses: a large bank, a government agency, or a hospital, and explain which systems you feel are mission critical. Then explain how the loss of these systems would affect the organization.

2) Go online and search for information about companies that have been harmed or bankrupted by a disaster. Choose one such company and create a brief case study about it. Successful narratives will focus on the manner in which the organization was impacted, including financial losses, losses of sales, or the need for layoffs. Your assignment should be 3-4 paragraphs in length.

Project Management

Blue Mountain Cabin

Jack and Jill Smith have just retired and want to build a small, basic cabin in the Blue Mountains of Vermont. They have hired Daryl Hannah as the general contractor for the project. She has assembled a team of three workers to complete the project: Tim, Dick, Harry. Daryl has negotiated a cost plus contract with the Smiths whereby she will receive 15% beyond the cost of labor and materials.

Before they sign the contract the Smiths want an estimate of how much the project is likely to cost and how long it should take.

Daryl has estimated the cost for materials, permits, etc, will total 40,000. She wants to determine labor costs as well as how long the project will take. This is one of several projects Daryl is managing and other than occasionally helping out, her role is strictly limited to supervising. She has devised the following master plan and assignments.

Note that Dick is the only skilled plumber in the group while Harry is the only skilled technician. Tom is a general carpenter and can assist them with their work. Dick and Harry each get paid $300 a day while Tom gets paid $200 per day.

Daryl has negotiated a 10% management reserve to deal with unexpected problems. Unused funds will be returned to the Smiths.

Data:

In chart in attached file.

To Figure out:

Prepare a short proposal for the Smiths that include a Gantt chart with resources assigned, and cost estimates if the project starts on 8/1/19. Did resource limitations affect the final schedule?

If so, how?

What financial risks does this project face?

What can the Smiths do to protect themselves against those risks?

select five articles about the foundational tenets of database development, knowledge sharing, KM, ERPS, KMS, and then prepare a pamphlet addressing ERPS for KM considerations pertinent to an organization or project of your choice

The planning and utilization of information, knowledge sharing, and KM provide the continuous building blocks of an effective KMS. Consideration should continue to be given to how information transitions to valuable knowledge and how knowledge is shared throughout a corporation. The transition of pertinent information to knowledge is paramount for successful technology managers and organizations. It is important to consider how information is organized, identified, shared, and accessed by decision-makers throughout an organization.

After reading the assigned resources this week, please utilize the NCU Library and other academic sources of your choice, select five articles about the foundational tenets of database development, knowledge sharing, KM, ERPS, KMS, and then prepare a pamphlet addressing ERPS for KM considerations pertinent to an organization or project of your choice. In your cited references, no article can be more than three years old. In your write-up, please compare and contrast knowledge sharing themes with the assigned readings. Address how technology managers can utilize information and KM considerations to develop a KMS.

Length: 5-7 pages (not including title and reference pages)

References: Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources

Your pamphlet should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.

Teacher candidates will learn of development characteristics from a counselor/school psychologist of a middle/high school student. In this block, your field experience collaboration and interview must be completed when students are not present. I

Contact a counselor and school psychologist or resource teacher from grades 6-12 and arrange an interview. Speak with your instructor if there is the need to interview alternate professionals, if necessary.

Use the following points of discussion to guide your interview:

  1. Discuss the perceived characteristics of this generations’ adolescence.
  2. What characteristic is changing the most? Possible reasons why.
  3. What characteristic seems to never change?
  4. How is physical development influencing adolescent characteristics?
  5. How is cognitive development influencing adolescent characteristics?
  6. How and what socioeconomic developments are influencing adolescent characteristics?
  7. What professional development may help staff cope with changing adolescent characteristics?
  8. What technologies are being used to facilitate student learning?

In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect on your interviews.  Discuss the characteristics of physical and cognitive development during adolescence and the affect it has on the learning process for students. Explain the effect that physical, cognitive, social, and emotional relationships have on students during adolescence. Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
