Focus on Optimizing Service Productivity
A labor force that worked on-site for decades shifted to remote during the pandemic and lockdowns. Industries and companies had mixed success with the work-from-home model. As the variants are winding down, some organizations are bringing back workers while others opted to permanently move to off-site employment. In many cases, the steady or improved worker productivity left the door open for staff to work from anywhere in the world. Let’s look at service productivity over time and the effects of COVID-19.

Service Productivity
Use the DATA AND SCENARIOS file for this assignment.
The course spreadsheet located in Case 1 contains an assigned service industry that will be the focus of this SLP.
Using data from recent labor productivity, unit labor costs, and related data, complete the table.
Add Assigned Service Industry

After adding data to the table based on the assigned service industry, provide a brief written description of the table’s contents.
Using the BLS data link below (plus the specified tables) and other resources, research the assigned service industry from a productivity standpoint.
Average annual percent change in productivity
• 1-year change in productivity
• Average annual percentage change in productivity
• Percentage change in productivity by select periods (2 most recent)
Describe what was happening in the assigned service industry during the reporting period. Find a balance between explanations, data, and statistics provided. You must decide what information should be included in this section. Include an industry-specific application for a productivity trend. (Research Support Required – look for articles no more than 3 years old). This section must be 1 page in length.
Effects of the Pandemic on Service Productivity
Continue working with the assigned service industry, and research the effects of the pandemic. Discuss trends, issues, and best practices for optimizing service productivity in the industry. (Research Support Required- look for articles no more than 3 years old). This section must be 1 page in length.
No quotations are permitted in this paper. Since you are engaging in research, cite and reference the sources in APA format. NOTE: failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” across the grading rubric. This is a professional paper, not a personal one based on feelings. It must be written in the third person. This means words like “I,” “we,” and “you” are not appropriate.

Journalists and others sometimes mix phrases for cybersecurity concepts. The public can pick up these misnomers, resulting in confusion. Confusion during meetings between technology practitioners and management wastes time that could otherwise be useful to make progress toward solving a problem (perhaps some of you have sat through a frustrating first half of a meeting where this disconnect was gradually discovered by those present). Some basic vocabulary definitions must be reinforced for cybersecurity practitioners to reduce the confusion that can creep into conversations and meetings. Please write about these concepts listed below and support your definitions and discussions with reference sources that do not confuse the definitions.
For your initial post, discuss the two topics below. Respond to posts from other students.
Define and differentiate Vulnerability, Risk, and Threat
Define the term “Zero-Day Exploit”. Discuss some recent examples where one or two ZDEs were used to bypass cybersecurity controls to open a hole in vulnerable Critical Infrastructures, SCADA systems, or Industrial Control Systems (ICS) so malicious code could enter to cause disruptive effects. Describe how ZDEs can possibly be used by nation states, crimina

Peter Drucker noted that, “A man should never be appointed to a managerial position if his vision focuses on people’s weaknesses rather than on their strengths. The man who always knows what people cannot do, but never sees what they can do, will undermine the spirit of the organization.”
Peter Senge proposed that, “When people in organizations focus only on their position, they have little sense of responsibility for the results produced when all positions interact.”
As a manager/leader in a healthcare organizations, we are challenged to consider new situations and new complexities both internal and external to our organizations. One source of inspiration is in looking back at some of the leading thinkers in management who have said things that may have seemed strange and/or confusing.
Please take one of these quotes and respond to it in order to evidence that you have personalized the ideas about organizations and management presented by one of these seminal thinkers in the field. Show that you can relate how these ideas can be applied in your healthcare organizational context and in your operating environment. Finally, conclude your post with a question that you may have concerning the larger issues that your chosen quotes touches on.
