Organizational Process AnalysisBackgroundYou are a senior member o.docx
Organizational Process AnalysisBackground
You are a senior member of the IT Management Team for SAI Toys, one of the leading manufacturers of products for Gifted Electrical Engineering Kids (GEEKs). The toys that the company sells are manufactured in-house and shipped to brick-and-mortar retailers, such as Best Buy and Target, as well as e-Commerce-only sites, such as ThinkGeek.com and Buy.com. The company has no direct interaction with the final purchasers (individuals) of their products other than through warranty service.
The company has four distinct IT systems:
· Public Website—provides information about each of the products, locations where someone can purchase them, and information about how to get warranty support. Details of warranty support and defect rates are not tracked, but the staff has anecdotal stories.
· Manufacturing Support System (MSS)—maintains the supply chain information necessary for manufacturing the company's products, such as raw materials, vendors, and prices.
· Human Resources System (HRS)—maintains and tracks personnel and benefits information.
· Sales and Marketing System (SMS)—tracks the sales and marketing efforts of the company’s sales force. Orders from this system are printed and sent daily to the MSS to be filled.
The current IT staff consists of 25 individuals. Five are assigned to maintain and operate each of the current IT systems, (except the HRS—only four work on that system). There are four support staff members that manage the internal help desk and provide network and workstation support for the internal company staff. The department is headed by the vice president of IT and her Deputy Department Manager (you!).
Physically, the company has two buildings. The manufacturing building and warehouse are located on the east side of the city near the docks and the expressway. The executive and business offices, as well as the IT staff, are located in a separate building on the west side of the city. Situation
The board of directors and the CEO have decided that they want to stay on the forefront of geekness, and therefore, the company should integrate all of their IT systems. In addition, they want to develop a more robust web presence and sell their products directly to individual customers in addition to selling through traditional retailers as they currently are doing.Assignment
You are to write a report of about 9 single spaced pages that outlines the situation, weighs various alternatives, and presents a final recommendation as to how the company should go about implementing this executive directive. (If you recommend it should not be done, you should have strong reasons!)
Your report should include the following sections. Please begin each with a heading so that the paper will be organized according to the board’s request and will be easier to follow. 1) Cover Page and Table of Contents (TOC) (5 points)
Provide a cover page with student names, date, course #, session, and professor name. The TO.

Assignment 1: LASA 2—Company Analysis Report
Review the following scenario:
Assume that you have recently been hired as the director of continuous improvement of a company. You are an outside hire with limited history of the firm and personal capital at the firm, and you are responsible for lean production, total quality management (TQM), six sigma, and best practice implementation.
Lean production means doing more with less, such as less inventory, fewer workers, or less space. A recent trade in quality management is lean six sigma (also known as lean sigma) that integrates six sigma and lean production.
The capacity for which you were hired has existed for three years with a direct line of report to the vice-president of operations and dotted line of report to the head of information technology (IT), the chief information officer (CIO), and the director of internal controls and audit. You are the second person to fill in this position. You have a team of internal consultants; half of your team has six sigma black belt or equivalent capabilities with the remainder having a solid understanding of operations and IT. You also have a budget for two external vendor resources.
You have taken six months to familiarize yourself with the organization and its people, mission, goals, strategy, and structure. In this time, you have also evaluated current operations. At the end of this period, you are assigned to deliver a report identifying the three most promising avenues for achieving best practices within the company. You have already been told that the company suffers from both aging and complex information systems and that your recommendation must include a major upgrade of those systems. The executive officers anticipate major investments in IT over the next several years. Your best practice implementations, coupled with new technology, must be measurable in terms of speed, quality, productivity, and efficiency or other key performance indicators that you identify in your report.
For this assignment, you will choose a company with which you are familiar. You are encouraged to choose a company for which you currently work or have worked, but you may choose some other firm if you believe it will be a compelling analysis.
You may choose one area of the company, such as a manufacturing plant or product design, to focus on if you can make a strong case. Your recommendations should have the following features.
Repeatable: If you “fix” three things in a manufacturing plant, you should be able to tackle the “next” three in iteration.
Scalable: If they work in one plant, they should work in all of them.
Replicable: Your process for improvement should be repeatable in different, disparate parts of the organization.
This is a key initiative at the “C” level, and your recommendation will reach the board of directors.

Estimating your Process Projects presented at FSOkx BPM Forum
Estimating always presents challenges. This is especially true when estimating the intangibles of process improvement efforts. This presentation will focus on how to reduce the guesswork associated with the estimation process by considering the following questions: What is it that you are estimating? How big is the thing you are estimating? What baselines are you using for your estimates? Should you be estimating top down, bottom up or somewhere in between? How do your estimates tie to your project plan? Do your estimates reflect ROI and business value?

Step 1The first step in performing an IT audit that is tied to b.docx
Step 1
The first step in performing an IT audit that is tied to business strategy is understanding the short-term and long-term goals and objectives of the business. While we expect IT strategies to be aligned to an organization's business strategies, in practice, this is not easy to achieve. The organization typically has made large investments in legacy systems that have been supporting the current business. The organization must balance the maintenance of current business requirements with the need to support longer term strategies, using emerging technologies to improve the competitiveness of the organization.
Completing this business audit will ensure that you learn a lot about the business of the organization.
To prepare for the audit, read Audits, Internal and Core Competencies. The templates provided for Step 1 will give you a framework for collecting this information. Be sure to ask the following questions:
· What are the strategic goals of the organization?
· What are the business operational goals?
· How do you see your organization in one year, in five years, and beyond?
Download and open the Templates_for_Project2_with_Instructions.xlsx file. You will be using this file throughout this project. For optional feedback in Steps 1 and 3, use the following naming protocols:
· Step 1 -> Lastname_first name_Project 2_Appx_A1_A2_B_C
· Steps 2 and 3 -> Lastname_first name_Project 2_Appx_A1_A2_B_C_D_E_F
For the final submission in this project, please use the following naming protocol:
· Step 5 -> Lastname_first name_Project 2_Appx_A1_A2_B_C_D_E_F_G_H_I
The templates for business objectives in Appendices A1 and A2 will guide your discovery. You should list a minimum of three business objectives that exist for your organization, which will likely vary from these templates. Existing entries in templates A1 and A2 are for illustration purposes only. You should fill in and submit to the assignment folder two tables: Appendix A1 is for short-term goals (one year) and Appendix A2 is for longer term goals (five or more years). See Goal Setting for more information.
After you understand your organization's business objectives, you will need to evaluate how well your organization is meeting those objectives. The template in Appendix B will guide you through a quick analysis of overall organizational effectiveness. You may want to ask those in leadership positions how well the organization is performing, but you can also get this information by examining how well the organization is performing according to current operational objectives. Choose a minimum of three organizational effectiveness criteria. Provide a one-sentence description of each measure, along with an overall score on a five-point scale and an explanation of the score you provided. See Effectiveness and Efficiency.
Now that you've looked at how well the overall organization is performing, you should evaluate the organization at a lower level. Using the Appendix C template to guide yo.

Midterm Project
Case Study on Operational Strategy for an IT Organization
You are in IT management/leadership team in a medium size IT organization and are responsible for three
engineering teams. Your teams are implementing about 15-20 projects per year for the company, and also
provide support and maintenance of current systems. While your teams have been successful in project
delivery overall, you have to constantly shift people from project to project to meet multiple competing
timelines, the engineers are overworked and stressed, and any small delay or problem impacts multiple
project deliveries. Your engineers are also reminding you that some of the core technologies your systems
are built on are getting old and will need upgrades or completely different technical approaches. Their
preliminary analysis also shows that upgrading or replacing core technologies will result in the need to
reengineer some of your existing systems, so that teams can better support current and future projects as
well as take advantage of the new technologies.
A new CIO has recently joined your company and has assembled a committee to determine and prioritize
the necessary changes in IT processes, technologies, and approaches to project delivery. You have been

As you reflect on the day-to-day issues your teams are facing, you note the following trends:
• People – your employee staff is relatively small compared to the number of people needed to staff
all projects and other IT activities your teams are responsible for. When you have requested
additional employee positions, you were told that the company does not want to expand IT

Case Study on Operational Strategy for an IT Organization
You are in IT management/leadership team in a medium size IT organization and are responsible for three engineering teams. Your teams are implementing about 15-20 projects per year for the company, and also provide support and maintenance of current systems. While your teams have been successful in project delivery overall, you have to constantly shift people from project to project to meet multiple competing timelines, the engineers are overworked and stressed and any small delay or problem impacts multiple project deliveries. Your engineers are also reminding you that some of the core technologies your systems are built on are getting old and will need upgrades or completely different technical approaches. Their preliminary analysis also shows that upgrading or replacing core technologies will result in the need to reengineer some of your existing systems, so that teams can better support current and future projects as well as take advantage of the new technologies.
A new CIO has recently joined your company and has assembled a committee to determine and prioritize the necessary changes in IT processes, technologies, and approaches to project delivery. You have been invited to participate in this committee to provide your and your teams’ perspectives as input to upcoming operational strategy changes.

Discuss how a successful organization should have the following layers of security in place for the protection of its operations: information security management, data security, and network security.
Multiple Layers of Security
Marlowe Rooks posted Mar 13, 2020 9:54 AM
Looking at Vacca”s book chapter 1, “Information security management as a field is ever increasing in demand and responsibility because most organizations spend increasingly larger percentages of their IT budgets in attempting to manage risk and mitigate intrusions, not to mention the trend in many enterprises of moving all IT operations to an Internet-connected infrastructure, known as enterprise cloud computing (John R. Vacca, 2014)”. It is the organization responsibility to protect its business and its client information at all times. With that said I’m going to break down why companies need to have multiple layers of security and what types they should implement below.
The first layer is Information security management which can be from Physical Security, or Personnel Security. Physical Security can range from physical items, objects, or areas from unauthorized access and misuse. Personnel Security is to protect the individual or group of individuals who are authorized to access the organization and its operations. Some of the reason to implement Information Security is as follow:
· Decrease in downtime of IT systems
· Decrease in security related incidents
· Increase in meeting an organization's compliance requirements and standards
· Increase in customer satisfaction, demonstrating that security issues are tackled in the most appropriate manner
· Increase in quality of service
· Process approach adoption, which helps account for all legal and regulatory requirements
· More easily identifiable and managed risks
· Also covers information security (IS) (in addition to IT information security)
· Provides a competitive edge to an organization with the help of tackling risks and managing resources/processes
The second layer would be Data Security which can be refers to the process of protecting data from unauthorized access and data corruption throughout its lifecycle. Data security includes data encryption, tokenization, and key management practices that protect data across all applications and platforms. Some of the reason to implement Data Security is as follow:
· Cloud access security – Protection platform that allows you to move to the cloud securely while protecting data in cloud applications.
· Data encryption – Data-centric and tokenization security solutions that protect data across enterprise, cloud, mobile and big data environments.
· Web Browser Security - Protects sensitive data captured at the browser, from the point the customer enters cardholder or personal data, and keeps it protected through the ecosystem to the trusted host destination.
· Mobile App Security - Protecting sensitive data in native mobile apps while safeguarding the data end-to-end.

Organizational Process AnalysisBackground
You are a senior member of the IT Management Team for SAI Toys, one of the leading manufacturers of products for Gifted Electrical Engineering Kids (GEEKs). The toys that the company sells are manufactured in-house and shipped to brick-and-mortar retailers, such as Best Buy and Target, as well as e-Commerce-only sites, such as ThinkGeek.com and Buy.com. The company has no direct interaction with the final purchasers (individuals) of their products other than through warranty service.
The company has four distinct IT systems:
· Public Website—provides information about each of the products, locations where someone can purchase them, and information about how to get warranty support. Details of warranty support and defect rates are not tracked, but the staff has anecdotal stories.
· Manufacturing Support System (MSS)—maintains the supply chain information necessary for manufacturing the company's products, such as raw materials, vendors, and prices.
· Human Resources System (HRS)—maintains and tracks personnel and benefits information.
· Sales and Marketing System (SMS)—tracks the sales and marketing efforts of the company’s sales force. Orders from this system are printed and sent daily to the MSS to be filled.
The current IT staff consists of 25 individuals. Five are assigned to maintain and operate each of the current IT systems, (except the HRS—only four work on that system). There are four support staff members that manage the internal help desk and provide network and workstation support for the internal company staff. The department is headed by the vice president of IT and her Deputy Department Manager (you!).
Physically, the company has two buildings. The manufacturing building and warehouse are located on the east side of the city near the docks and the expressway. The executive and business offices, as well as the IT staff, are located in a separate building on the west side of the city. Situation
The board of directors and the CEO have decided that they want to stay on the forefront of geekness, and therefore, the company should integrate all of their IT systems. In addition, they want to develop a more robust web presence and sell their products directly to individual customers in addition to selling through traditional retailers as they currently are doing.Assignment
You are to write a report of about 9 single spaced pages that outlines the situation, weighs various alternatives, and presents a final recommendation as to how the company should go about implementing this executive directive. (If you recommend it should not be done, you should have strong reasons!)
Your report should include the following sections. Please begin each with a heading so that the paper will be organized according to the board’s request and will be easier to follow. 1) Cover Page and Table of Contents (TOC) (5 points)

Assignment 1: LASA 2—Company Analysis Report
Review the following scenario:
Assume that you have recently been hired as the director of continuous improvement of a company. You are an outside hire with limited history of the firm and personal capital at the firm, and you are responsible for lean production, total quality management (TQM), six sigma, and best practice implementation.
Lean production means doing more with less, such as less inventory, fewer workers, or less space. A recent trade in quality management is lean six sigma (also known as lean sigma) that integrates six sigma and lean production.
The capacity for which you were hired has existed for three years with a direct line of report to the vice-president of operations and dotted line of report to the head of information technology (IT), the chief information officer (CIO), and the director of internal controls and audit. You are the second person to fill in this position. You have a team of internal consultants; half of your team has six sigma black belt or equivalent capabilities with the remainder having a solid understanding of operations and IT. You also have a budget for two external vendor resources.
You have taken six months to familiarize yourself with the organization and its people, mission, goals, strategy, and structure. In this time, you have also evaluated current operations. At the end of this period, you are assigned to deliver a report identifying the three most promising avenues for achieving best practices within the company. You have already been told that the company suffers from both aging and complex information systems and that your recommendation must include a major upgrade of those systems. The executive officers anticipate major investments in IT over the next several years. Your best practice implementations, coupled with new technology, must be measurable in terms of speed, quality, productivity, and efficiency or other key performance indicators that you identify in your report.
For this assignment, you will choose a company with which you are familiar. You are encouraged to choose a company for which you currently work or have worked, but you may choose some other firm if you believe it will be a compelling analysis.
You may choose one area of the company, such as a manufacturing plant or product design, to focus on if you can make a strong case. Your recommendations should have the following features.
Repeatable: If you “fix” three things in a manufacturing plant, you should be able to tackle the “next” three in iteration.
Scalable: If they work in one plant, they should work in all of them.
Replicable: Your process for improvement should be repeatable in different, disparate parts of the organization.
This is a key initiative at the “C” level, and your recommendation will reach the board of directors.

Estimating your Process Projects presented at FSOkx BPM Forum
Estimating always presents challenges. This is especially true when estimating the intangibles of process improvement efforts. This presentation will focus on how to reduce the guesswork associated with the estimation process by considering the following questions: What is it that you are estimating? How big is the thing you are estimating? What baselines are you using for your estimates? Should you be estimating top down, bottom up or somewhere in between? How do your estimates tie to your project plan? Do your estimates reflect ROI and business value?

Step 1The first step in performing an IT audit that is tied to b.docx
Step 1
The first step in performing an IT audit that is tied to business strategy is understanding the short-term and long-term goals and objectives of the business. While we expect IT strategies to be aligned to an organization's business strategies, in practice, this is not easy to achieve. The organization typically has made large investments in legacy systems that have been supporting the current business. The organization must balance the maintenance of current business requirements with the need to support longer term strategies, using emerging technologies to improve the competitiveness of the organization.
Completing this business audit will ensure that you learn a lot about the business of the organization.
To prepare for the audit, read Audits, Internal and Core Competencies. The templates provided for Step 1 will give you a framework for collecting this information. Be sure to ask the following questions:
· What are the strategic goals of the organization?
· What are the business operational goals?
· How do you see your organization in one year, in five years, and beyond?
Download and open the Templates_for_Project2_with_Instructions.xlsx file. You will be using this file throughout this project. For optional feedback in Steps 1 and 3, use the following naming protocols:
· Step 1 -> Lastname_first name_Project 2_Appx_A1_A2_B_C
· Steps 2 and 3 -> Lastname_first name_Project 2_Appx_A1_A2_B_C_D_E_F
For the final submission in this project, please use the following naming protocol:
· Step 5 -> Lastname_first name_Project 2_Appx_A1_A2_B_C_D_E_F_G_H_I
The templates for business objectives in Appendices A1 and A2 will guide your discovery. You should list a minimum of three business objectives that exist for your organization, which will likely vary from these templates. Existing entries in templates A1 and A2 are for illustration purposes only. You should fill in and submit to the assignment folder two tables: Appendix A1 is for short-term goals (one year) and Appendix A2 is for longer term goals (five or more years). See Goal Setting for more information.
After you understand your organization's business objectives, you will need to evaluate how well your organization is meeting those objectives. The template in Appendix B will guide you through a quick analysis of overall organizational effectiveness. You may want to ask those in leadership positions how well the organization is performing, but you can also get this information by examining how well the organization is performing according to current operational objectives. Choose a minimum of three organizational effectiveness criteria. Provide a one-sentence description of each measure, along with an overall score on a five-point scale and an explanation of the score you provided. See Effectiveness and Efficiency.
Now that you've looked at how well the overall organization is performing, you should evaluate the organization at a lower level. Using the Appendix C template to guide yo.

Case Study on Operational Strategy for an IT Organization
You are in IT management/leadership team in a medium size IT organization and are responsible for three
engineering teams. Your teams are implementing about 15-20 projects per year for the company, and also

project deliveries. Your engineers are also reminding you that some of the core technologies your systems

preliminary analysis also shows that upgrading or replacing core technologies will result in the need to
reengineer some of your existing systems, so that teams can better support current and future projects as
well as take advantage of the new technologies.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
