IT 550 Final Project Milestone One Organizational Profil.docxchristiandean12115
IT 550 Final Project Milestone One:
Organizational Profile Guidelines and Rubric
Remember: Your final project is the creation of an information technology strategic plan (ITSP). This plan is broken up into three milestone assignments that you
will be working on throughout the course: an organizational profile (the focus of this assignment), an IT department SWOT analysis, and a document of strategic
IT initiatives based on a case study that you will select below. These assignments should be tackled from the perspective that you are your department’s IT
director.
To begin this assignment, you must first choose and purchase one of the following case studies from http://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cbmp/access/72858827:
Strategic IT Transformation at Accenture
Peak Experiences and Strategic IT Alignment at Vermont Teddy Bear
Richter: Information Technology at Hungary’s Largest Pharma
The case study you select here will be the focus of your final project throughout the course.
For this milestone, you will submit an organizational profile on your chosen organization. This organizational profile should give a brief overview of the company
you choose from an enterprise level and then start to focus on the IT department of that company. Below, you will see an outline of critical elements that must
be addressed.
The critical elements highlighted in yellow represent the critical elements that you should answer from the perspective of the company as a whole, from the
enterprise level. The critical elements highlighted in blue, and all of the subsequent milestone assignments, will focus on the IT department at your company of
choice.
Make sure that you craft a vision and mission statement for your IT department that is different from your company’s enterprise-level vision and mission
statements but that aligns with the greater company as a whole.
Feedback should be incorporated into the final project as warranted before final submission.
http://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cbmp/access/72858827
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Organization
A. Structure and Organization: Describe the current organizational structure and background information. How does the organization organize its
internal and external communication? What is the age of the organization? What is the organizational structure? Include the following:
1. What is the number of employees?
2. What is the organizational decision-making structure?
3. What kinds of technology are used in the organization?
B. Customer Profile: Analyze the customer profile of the company to determine possible competitive issues that could be IT-related. What is the
size and type of community? Who is the primary customer? What is the size of the customer/end-user base? What is the demographic profile of
the customer or end user?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
