The traditional model of classroom training is becoming outdated as organizations demand that learning be immediately applicable and measurable. On-the-job training, coaching, and learning approaches that allow for rapid skill application and feedback are replacing lengthy classroom sessions. Effective learning focuses on developing the specific skills needed to achieve business goals and occurs through practice within work contexts rather than theoretical classroom discussions.
The document discusses how knowledge management (KM) can be mapped to the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) Excellence Model. It provides an overview of the EFQM Model, which is based on nine criteria that assess an organization's progress toward excellence. Five criteria are "Enablers" of how an organization operates, and four are "Results" of what the organization achieves. The document then examines how each Enabler criterion is related to KM implications, such as how leaders can use knowledge to set business direction and change it based on customer and market insights. KM helps achieve business objectives in a smart way by developing a knowledge-sharing mindset throughout the organization.

Assignment 1 The Problems of Evil and SufferingAll human bein.docxdaniatrappit
Assignment 1: The Problems of Evil and Suffering
All human beings encounter pain and suffering in life. This can present some difficult questions to organized religions.
On some level, all religions answer fundamental questions of human existence, including, "why are we here?" Pain and suffering complicate these basic questions of human existence, whether the religion is monotheistic, polytheistic, or atheistic.
Some people endure much more pain and suffering than others. Why is this so? What is the origin of suffering? Is evil external or internal? Does it have any meaning? How should we respond to it?
Even more difficult is the problem of moral evil: some people deliberately cause other people to suffer. Why? If there is meaning in the universe, and especially if the universe is ruled by a beneficent deity, how can this be?
Write an essay of 1,000 words that examines the basic positions of each of the five religious traditions considering these human questions
In your essay, address the following questions:
How does
each
religion respond to the problems of evil and suffering?
How are those responses similar?
In what ways do the responses differ?
What factors account for these differences?
Which way of addressing evil is the most similar to your own? What role does reason play in your personal understanding of evil? How does that overlap or contradict with the major religions' uses of reason in explaining evil?

Assignment 1: the sociological viewpoint toward social problems (Due Week 2)
Overview
One of the most crucial components to this course concerns addressing social problems in society from a sociological viewpoint as opposed to a strictly policy-oriented, psychological, or criminal justice viewpoint. Although many different viewpoints in social science are valid and have a lot of importance, it is equally important for us to understand how sociology looks at the nature of social problems in society today. This paper will enable us to explore why certain social problems seem to be regarded as more significant than others. Our job will be in defining the sociological viewpoint, and choosing one social problem that we think is of high importance. We will build upon the topic we choose in this paper for our second and third writing assignments.
Instructions
Construct a 2-4 page paper that fully explores each of the following areas:
1)
Citing our textbook material, explain how the sociological approach toward social problems differs from other approaches. Why are certain problems considered significant and others are not?
2)
Next, choose one social problem that exists in society that you think is particularly serious, and explain it in sociological terms. This social problem should be measurable in some statistical way. (Is it increasing, and if so, how? Among which groups of people, and for how long, etc.?)
3)
What might be one important way in which the social problem is currently being addressed in society?
4)
Please define and identify at least four concepts from our text relevant to your chosen social problem.
5)
Analyze the way in which these concepts help us better understand the nature of the social problem you are discussing.
Don’t forget to include proper APA-style citation and reference. (Assignment One is worth 10% of the total grade.)

Assignment 1 White-Collar CrimeVictor and John work as software i.docxdaniatrappit
Assignment 1: White-Collar Crime
Victor and John work as software installers and program developers in the computer division of the Social Security Administration (SSA). SSA purchased software which was customarily installed by both Victor and John. SSA was licensed to make copies of the software for use by their employees during their employment, but not for resale to the public or for profit.
Victor and John are also partners in a small computer business. Victor started using some SSA software in his business, without the knowledge or consent of SSA. He told John that he would use it only for testing and not for profit. However, the "testing" of the software generated profit for their business. John did not want to continue using the software without SSA consent. Victor believed the SSA would not grant permission and convinced John not to disclose their secret use of the software.
Research business law in regard to software use using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Based on the facts of the case and research, respond to the following questions:
What white-collar crimes, if any, did Victor and John commit? Explain each individual's crime separately.
What ethical leadership and management violation has Victor committed? Explain.
What legal protection is available to John if he decides to inform the SSA about the software use? Explain.

Assignment 1 Should the U.S. Convert to a Zero Personal Income Ta.docxdaniatrappit

In a recent news article located at
http://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/heres-where-your-federal-income-tax-dollars-go-f654971
NBC News reported that the U.S. Government spends $3.6 trillion per year to fund Social Security, Medicare, homeland defense and safety, education, transportation, and the interest on debt obligations. In spite of the services and benefits that the government provides, many taxpayers dread paying income taxes but consider them a necessary evil. Consequently, there is much debate about the inequities contained within the tax code, due to tax shelters and tax credits provided to some taxpayers which thereby increase the tax burden on others.
Using the internet, research at least two (2) countries that have a zero income tax rate.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
Analyze the way in which the two (2) countries that you have researched provide services and benefits to its citizens without collecting personal income taxes.
For the countries that you have chosen, determine whether or not he U.S. could adopt their taxation model without reducing its total amount of revenue generated by collecting personal income taxes from individuals and business. Justify your response.
Suggest at least three (3) advantages and three (3) disadvantages of the U.S. adopting a zero income tax model. Provide a rationale for your response.
Create a proposal for where the revenue would be derived if the U.S. were to adopt a zero income tax model. In your response, provide specific recommendations concerning the following:
The prosed tax base.
Whether or not tax payers at certain income levels should be exempt from taxations.
The Primary way in which the IRS would calculate the tax rate in order to ensure that the same level of tax revenue would still be collected.
The primary way in which your plan will achieve equity.
Speculate on the primary way in which the federal government could make up any shortfalls if it does not collect its targeted revenue from person income taxes, and ascertain the most significant way in which the U.S. Department of the Treasury, through the IRS, can still adhere to its fiscal and monetary policies. Justify your response.

Assignment 1 Political Belief Profile The relationship betwee.docxdaniatrappit
Assignment 1: Political Belief Profile
The relationship between public opinion and political participation raises many questions associated with how the public thinks, why they behave in the manner they do, and what outcomes in the form of ideological expressions will probably tak
e place because of citizens’ behavior in the political scenario. Essentially, “who, what, and where” issues again surface in response to evaluation of political socialization.
Political socialization may be expressed in a singular way, depending on the issue of concern, but it is not derived from any single impact throughout the life of American voters and nonvoters. Qualities and conditions such as gender, race, economic status, education, and religion impact voter behaviors. Indeed, whether or not an individual votes, or takes part in any of the varied available options for participation, is closely allied with the political socialization of individuals and even entire socioeconomic groups.
The Political Compass Web site (
http://www.politicalcompass.org
) offers a self-test that helps you analyze your personal political views on what the test authors call a “left–right” scale. Take the test and review your results to see where you stand on the economic scale and the social scale. Discuss the results using the following questions:
Did your “test result” match what you thought were your political beliefs?
What is “politically correct” thinking? Give examples of what might be considered “politically correct” and “politically incorrect.”
To what degree do you think your values and beliefs represent the norms, values, and traditions of society? Define your answer using the following Likert scale—extremely common, common, moderately common, uncommon, and extremely uncommon.

The Bill of Rights acts as a blueprint that every individual state uses to protect the rights of individual citizens. In this assignment, you will utilize the various concepts found in the Bill of Rights to provide the foundation of the various sections of the question.

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.

2. For many years, the term operations management, or OM, was
applied almost exclusively to
manufacturing. More recently, the tools of OM have also been
recognized for their potential to improve
operations in the service sector. Still, some view the discipline
too narrowly, identifying it as the purview of
those who hold the title of “operations manager.” Operational
excellence is a broader concept that applies
to all job functions and all pursuits that keep the organization
running in top form. It is the ongoing search
for better ways of achieving results. However, it’s not about
just ‘fine tuning’ the flow of work as it currently
exists, but about stepping back, asking good questions, and
finding ways to improve how the entire
organization operates. The ultimate objective is to leverage
those improvements to strengthen the
organization’s competitive advantage.
Why It Matters
• Operational excellence is a competitive advantage. If your
organization can run faster and leaner
and can deliver products or services to your customers that are
less expensive or better quality
than your competitors can, you will have an edge in the
marketplace.
• Seeking a better way every day encourages team members to
challenge themselves, get their
brains in the game, find ways to reduce tasks that waste
resources, and redirect their time and
energy to tasks that add real value.
• Adopting a broader view of operations opens the door to using
4. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Course
If you’ve never worked in or studied operations management,
the subject may be a bit of a mystery to
you. You may have images of factory managers with clipboards
and stopwatches standing beside
assembly lines, measuring output and doing obscure math to
calculate “something” that you’re not sure
you understand. This can be especially true if you work in a
service industry where production metrics are
not front and center every day. You may think that OM is
something other people do, and while you
certainly want them to do well and contribute to your
organization, the impact of OM on your daily life is a
passing interest.
If any of the above is true, you may also see this course as a
“necessary evil” – a required hurdle to
overcome on your path to earning an MBA.
We are going to make sure this is not the case. Throughout the
course, we will focus on solving real-
world problems and on the practical application of the tools we
study. In each topic we address, you will
find a consistent pattern in the approach we take:
1. Understand the current state of operational performance
2. Identify opportunities for improvement
3. Ask the right questions, focusing on what really matters
4. Gather the right data and apply the right tools to answer
5. those questions
5. Develop, present, and implement viable solutions to improve
performance and outcomes
This approach is designed to help you become a better manager
and a more effective leader. You will
hone the skills that will help you take your organization forward
and increase its competitive strength.
The Pursuit of Excellence Impacts Every Part of the
Organization
Management of operations is not the domain of any single
function or department. It is not limited to the
factory floor or to supply chains or to production quality. It
isn’t just part of administration or a company’s
back-office functions. The pursuit of operational excellence is
multifaceted, and seeks to realize multiple
goals and implement process improvements that are:
• Effective – actually addressing the company’s needs
• Efficient – cost-effective and not wasteful
• Global – taking into context the greater economic environment
• Sustainable – not creating long-term liabilities in the pursuit
of short-term gains
• Responsible – fulfilling the business’s fiduciary and
community obligations, such as maintaining
long-term solvency
8. LECTURE NOTES FOR THIS COURSE
The purpose of the lecture notes in this course is not to reteach
topics that are covered in the core texts,
readings, and videos. The purpose of these notes is to:
1. Help you assess your starting point by providing a realistic
picture of the challenges you may
face, but also the payoff that comes from mastering the
necessary skills.
2. Focus your work on the most important themes and
takeaways from each week’s materials.
3. Provide tips on applying what you are learning in your own
workplace to help you become a more
effective business leader.
You are encouraged to read the lecture notes first each week,
and then to reread them after you have
completed your other coursework in order to reinforce what you
have learned.
The core text for this course, Value Stream Mapping by Karen
Martin and Mike Osterling, is introduced in
Week 1. It identifies a key objective of pursuing operational
excellence – adding value. The book offers
not only a rationale for value stream mapping, but also practical
steps that leaders can use in assembling
9. mapping teams, analyzing value streams, and improving how
work gets done. Other core resources in
our course include OM modules from Harvard Business School,
as well as LinkedIn Learning videos.
These are used primarily to introduce the more “technical”
elements of the tools of OM. Throughout the
course, we strive to maintain a balance between big-picture
ideas and specific tools. While OM tools are
critical to success, they are not sufficient. Placing tools before
people is not the right approach. The most
successful operations leaders always keep the big-picture
objectives in focus, apply the appropriate tools
to help them ask the right questions, and leverage
methodologies that guide the organization on a path to
excellence.
THE CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR MANAGERS
In each set of lecture notes, we will include a section: “The
Challenge and Opportunity for Managers.”
This will introduce the topics addressed that week, present some
of the barriers that managers may face,
and explain how the tools and practices we cover can help you
become a better leader.
Learning about the tools of OM can seem intimidating. You will
encounter jargon and unfamiliar
terminology. It’s easy to let those technical terms become a
barrier to your education. However, if you
take the time to engage the course materials, you’ll find that
what you learn is a lot easier to apply than
you might have believed. In fact, with a little effort, that barrier
11. have to perform? Do some of these seem overly cumbersome or
weighed down by
bureaucracy or sub-par communication with other workers or
departments?
3. How do quality issues impact your deliverables? For
example, even if the final output performs
at a high standard, have there been multiple inspection and
repair steps required before the
product was released? How might those steps be reduced
without compromising quality?
4. How do your production metrics compare to those of your
competitors? Are they able to deliver
similar products/services to customers faster, cheaper, or that
perform better?
5. Is senior management eager to engage frontline workers in
finding better ways of working? Is
your organization one that values “getting every brain in the
13. increase competitive strength, you will start to
see opportunities everywhere.
So, whether you work in a manufacturing company or a service
company, for-profit or not-for-profit, large
business or small business, there is one element that every
organization has in common – work. The core
issue, then, is how that work adds value – whether measured by
customer/revenue growth, shareholder
value, or employee satisfaction about the work they exchange
for the paycheck they earn. When you and
your colleagues come to work each day, do the systems, tasks,
tools, and processes enable you to deliver
your product or service effectively and efficiently?
If you are not sure about the answer to that question, you’re not
alone. Martin and Osterling summarize
the challenge as follows:
“The lack of understanding about how work flows – or more
commonly, doesn’t flow – across a
work system that’s sole purpose is to deliver value to a
customer is a fundamental problem that
results in poor performance, poor business decisions, and poor
work environments. Conflicting
priorities, interdepartmental tension, and – in the worst cases –
infighting within leadership teams
are common outcomes when a company attempts to operate
without a clear understanding about
how an organization’s various parts fit together and how value
is delivered to its customers. And
significant time and money is wasted when organizations
attempt to make improvement without a
clearly defined, externally focused improvement strategy that
places the customer in the center.

And a Value Stream Map…?
The “map” is pretty much what it sounds like. Just like a
roadmap, it is a way to visualize a journey. It
shows how you get from one place to another place. Most maps
don’t show every single detail about the
terrain or other specific elements, such as speed limits and
altitudes. Which features of the map are most
important will vary by user and purpose. If the map is too
general, critical information may be missing. But
if it is too detailed, the overall journey can get lost in the
weeds. The same is true of a value stream map.
As we progress through the first several weeks of the course, we
will explore several important topics: (1)
the purpose of value stream maps, (2) what it takes to create a
useful one, and (3) when and why we
would need to drill down deeper into individual “processes” –
which we will explore more in Weeks 3 and
4 – to identify workflow shortcomings and opportunities for
improvement.
As Martin and Osterling point out, value stream maps are not
the same as process maps. “[They] offer a
holistic view of how work flows through entire systems, and
they differ from process maps in several
significant ways.”
16. 1. Value stream maps provide a powerful means to establish a
strategic direction for improvements.
2. Value stream maps provide a visual, full-cycle view of how
work progresses from a request to its
fulfillment.
3. Value stream mapping deepens organizational understanding
about work systems that deliver
value, leading to better decision making and work design.
4. The quantitative nature of value stream maps lays the
foundation for a data-driven, strategic
decision making.
5. Value stream maps reflect work flow as a customer
experiences it, as opposed to process-level
maps that are internally focused.
Value Stream Mapping, pp. 7-10
CHANGE IS HARD
You Can’t See the Forest for the Trees
As the authors note, “[t]ransformation requires fundamental
changes in an organization’s DNA; done well,
value stream mapping can be instrumental in facilitating the
necessary shifts in mindsets and behaviors”
(p. 11). The core of the challenge of change is that the people
who are involved in doing and overseeing
the work often don’t see the big picture of the flow. This sounds
18. from internally focused thinking to customer-focused thinking,
which is the foundation for providing
greater and greater value” (p. 12). In fact, they go as far as to
say, “we’ve found no more powerful way to
heal the tension that often exists between functional areas, such
as sales and operations, quality and
production, and IT and…well, everyone!” (p. 14). That’s a
pretty exciting claim!
They do, however, offer an interesting caveat, noting, “It’s the
process of value stream mapping rather
than the maps themselves that carries the greatest power by
instilling transformational mindsets and
behaviors into the DNA of an organization” (p. 17).
“…improvements that begin with a value stream perspective are
more likely to be sustained and
lead to both top-line and bottom-line growth. In the case of
government agencies and nonprofit
organizations, proper value stream design and management can
reduce costs, improve
organizational effectiveness, reduce the risk of privatization,
free up cash to reinvest in the
agency, and improve employee morale and constituent
satisfaction.”
Value Stream Mapping, p. 18
Like most complex undertakings, there are more ways to get it
wrong than there are to get it right. There
are multiple potential “failings” of value stream mapping
initiatives. These include creating maps without
taking any action, and mapping with the wrong team – or even
without involving the team at all. But
perhaps the biggest failing is mapping without metrics:
20. While there is a lot to get excited about when it comes to value
stream mapping, there is some guidance
about the road ahead:
“Too many organizations dive into value stream mapping before
the organization is properly
prepared and the activity has been properly scoped. Effective
planning is a significant contributor
in elevating value stream mapping from a ‘tool’ to a
management practice that produces long-
lasting transformation.”
“Getting tangled up in the weeds is a common reason why
process improvement efforts fail to
deliver sustainable results, and why inserting value stream
mapping into the improvement
process helps an organization make faster and deeper progress.”
Value Stream Mapping, p. 27, 29
Assembling the Team
Process mapping, like any change initiative, is not a solo
activity. While the size and composition of the
team may vary according to circumstances, Martin and
Osterling offer the following guidance:
“If the ripple effect of the projected improvements is somewhat
contained, you can limit the
overview to the team members and those leaders who oversee
21. the areas within the value stream
being transformed. If the projected improvement(s) will touch a
large percentage of the workforce,
it’s best to include the entire leadership team. For your first few
value stream mapping activities,
it’s also helpful to include leadership from support services,
such as human resources,
information technology, and finance so that they, too, can begin
to see the interconnectedness
within the organization and the benefits of viewing work
through a value stream lens. Ultimately,
every leader needs to understand the organization’s key value
streams and how his or her team
supports the delivery of value to external customers.”
Value Stream Mapping, p. 30
The remainder of the chapter explains the role and components
of a Value Stream Mapping Charter (pp.
31-47). This is an important tool to align the team around a
common objective and define the scope of the
project. Review this guidance carefully before you embark on
this step of your operational excellence
initiative. Like many undertakings, success or failure are
largely determined in the planning stages.
Getting the right team in place means including: (1) affected
leadership, (2) mapping team members who
will help build and analyze the maps, and (3) workers in areas
that will be included in the value stream
walk.
24. advantage
As you begin to explore operational excellence, start close to
home. Don’t try to analyze the
competitive strength of your entire organization – there will be
opportunities for that later. Think
about how you and your team deliver value to the organization
through the work you do and the
outputs you produce. What would the benefits look like if you
could deliver more and/or better
products or services with the same inputs and resources, or if
you could continue to meet your
current output requirements more efficiently? Don’t worry too
much about how you could do this
just yet – focus on the impact. If output or costs could be
improved by, say, 15%, how could that
make the organization more competitive?
• Describe key characteristics of operational excellence
One of the best ways to appreciate the topics we will cover in
this course is to take what you are
learning and test it out in your own job. This “testing” doesn’t
have to mean making any actual
changes just yet; it can be evaluating the concept to see if it
holds water when applied to what
you and your team do. The characteristics of operational
excellence include, but are not limited
to, delivering outputs faster, cheaper, and with fewer errors in a
way that is safe and sustainable.
Make a list of what that would include for your job. Then, rank
your list in terms of priority. Which
of these improvements would have the greatest impact on other
parts of the organization? Why?
