DQ 1
Through the Business Decision analysis course I learned that decision making is the process of selecting a logical choice from the available options (Business Dictionary.2017). There are many ways to make a decision. Rational, logical, quantitative or qualitative. Decisions can be solution(ed) by using the five to seven steps of the problem solving process (Anderson, D et all. 2016. Page 31). Decision making ends with the choosing of an alternative, which is the act of making the decision (Anderson, D et all. 2016. Page 31). One method that I like to use for bigger decisions is the seven steps, which are: Define the problem, Identify the alternatives, Determine the criteria, Evaluate the alternatives, Choose an alternative, Implement the selected alternative and Evaluate the results. Since there are various steps to the decision making process, the objective is to find the best solution to that problem (Anderson, D et all. 2016. Page 32). My thinking about problem-solving has changed slightly in that if I can put a dollar figure next to it I try to use that more for reasoning. Two examples I used this was for my decision to work downtown, I had to figure in the cost of commuting downtown, along with the time it would take me. For me at this time, the extra increase in pay wouldn’t be enough, due to the time I would waste commuting. This would leave me with less time for my school work, which would result in less time for my family and not as flexible hours. This is where I like to use the multi-criteria decision problem solving with quantitative analysis (Anderson, D et all. 2016. Page 31). While working in Toronto would bring new experiences, and expand my network, I wouldn’t be able to put a dollar amount on how much I would gain from it, only how much I would lose from it. In order for the multi-criteria problem to work each of the “outcomes” need to be evaluated (Anderson, D et all. 2016. Page 32). Earlier on in the semester, we spoke about good and bad decisions. I don’t think it would be a good or bad decision if I chose to stay or go. Perhaps it would be a bad decision if it was a lateral move with no increase in pay. I believe the outcome after the decision was made will be able to tell if it was good or bad, so that you can learn from your mistakes and take that into consideration for the next decision you make.

· Assignment 3: Creating a Compelling Vision
Leaders today must be able to create a compelling vision for the organization. They also must be able to create an aligned strategy and then execute it. Visions have two parts, the envisioned future and the core values that support that vision of the future. The ability to create a compelling vision is the primary distinction between leadership and management. Leaders need to create a vision that will frame the decisions and behavior of the organization and keep it focused on the future while also delivering on the short-term goals.
To learn more about organizational vision statements, do an Internet search and review various vision statements.
In this assignment, you will consider yourself as a leader of an organization and write a vision statement and supporting values statement.
Select an organization of choice. This could be an organization that you are familiar with, or a fictitious organization. Then, respond to the following:
· Provide the name and description of the organization. In the description, be sure to include the purpose of the organization, the products or services it provides, and the description of its customer base.
· Describe the core values of the organization. Why are these specific values important to the organization?
· Describe the benefits and purpose for an organizational vision statement.
· Develop a vision statement for this organization. When developing a vision statement, be mindful of the module readings and lecture materials.
· In the vision statement, be sure to communicate the future goals and aspirations of the organization.
· Once you have developed the vision statement, describe how you would communicate the statement to the organizational stakeholders, that is, the owners, employees, vendors, and customers.
· How would you incorporate the communication of the vision into the new employee on-boarding and ongoing training?
Write your response in approximately 3–5 pages in Microsoft Word. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.
By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.

Discussion Board 1 – Read and Respond
Introduction
Nonprofit launch initiatives directed at changes for an organization of this magnitude should begin with an adaptable plan. Here important objectives are identified with the basic concept of how and when the organization can facilitate action. Comprehending the dynamics of challenges being addressed and the resources required is essential for a realistic assessment on a myriad of levels. Allison and Kaye (2005) believe organizers “must recognize that the mission’s success lies in getting involvement from all parts of the organization” (p. 32). That being stated, further illustrates the importance of strategic processing as it relates to communication, evaluation, and prioritization.
Communication
Establishing effective, viable channels of communication provide a means to introduce concerns and begin dialogs. Broadening the scope of the assessment to include feedback from all chapters elicits engagement and improves clarity. Creating forums that openly invites two-way dialog as a means to shore up the effectiveness of communication often mitigate risk associated with subjective perspectives and assumptions. The nonprofit sector encompasses perspectives from volunteers, staff, and board members that are all challenged with meeting diverse mission goals. Murphy (2013) stresses the importance of creating a work environment conducive to working “productively with team members who have different objectives” (p.68).
Evaluation
Decentralized modes of operation within the 100 chapters have presented a challenge with approaching any aspect of changes unilaterally. Consequently, the intricate details of program assessments supportive of the mission statement should commence immediately. Cognitive perceptions of circumstances will help all communicators establish frames of reference that elicit clarity of details for critical thinking and decision making. Reflecting briefly on Proverbs 19:2 (KJV) “Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth” provides sensible rational for deliberating before giving in to impulsivity. Further delineation of metrics and the cogent analysis of practical applications encourage systematic consensus of outcomes. Ardent attention to details derived collectively will potentially reveal more neglected or overlooked contributing factors. In an effort to minimize wasted resources on duplicate or inane resolves, project objectives may require redirection.
Prioritization
Managing the strategy involves connecting developmental designs to implementation efforts (Worth, 2014, p. 161). Fragmentation plays a critical role in the strategic planning process too. Knowing the objective breakdowns and how they will fall into place within the grand scheme facilitates better control of capacity. The availability and allocations of organizational resources can limit progress or drain resou.

"Learning Organizations and Learning Communities"
Please respond to the following:
Examine the similarities and differences between learning organizations and learning communities. Create a scenario where it would be optimal for a learning organization and a learning community to collaborate and join forces.
Imagine that you are a teacher leader in a learning community. Describe the size and environment of your imaginary learning community. Propose at least three reasons why you could be considered a problem solver and an innovator.
Peer Response-
Examine the similarities and differences between learning organizations and learning communities. Create a scenario where it would be optimal for a learning organization and a learning community to collaborate and join forces.
My understanding of the differences between a learning community and a learning organization is that in a learning community is the interaction of groups of students or people who work together academically face to face, or electronically. Unlike a learning organization, a learning community is not considered being a formal organization, instead the curriculum happens to be more of a restructured program. The use of a learning community helps to increase student learning by linking courses and classwork as it will encourage students and teachers to collaborate together as a team to discuss or resolve any problems or issues that may present itself as a team. As for a learning organization on the other hand, is a formal organization that creates a culture that adapts to change and embraces growth. The use of a learning organization allows any new members to exchange their ideas and make sense of it as a team. Its said that transforming a school district to a learning organization will help promote profound learners v superficial learners that currently exists in our bureaucratic system.
Scenario:
An optimal learning and community organization joining forces and collaborating with one another would be in team building situation. Dealing with the many personalities on ones grade level there is always that someone who prefers to isolate themselves versus meeting as a whole team. I believe by incorporating these two organizations during a PLC meeting, or during grade level meetings will be a great way to collaborate and support each other by sharing and linking courses, ideas, and help solve any issues that may arise in their lesson plans. In doing so will certainly ensure that their students will thrive academically and become profound learners in the end.
Imagine that you are a teacher leader in a learning community. Describe the size and environment of your imaginary learning community. Propose at least three reasons why you could be considered a problem solver and an innovator.
If I were a teacher in a learning community it would take place in an elementary school setting K-5. My focus would be in small group interventions that targets all struggling .
We must evolve our operational capability to be viewed as a competitive weapon by the Americas and the Corporation. To do so we must focus on flawless execution so as to be Better, Cheaper and Faster than the competition.

Session 1, 2.1
Understanding T&D
I have been a computer science teacher for the past two years. I have
also been involved in curriculum development for Sacramento City College.
Roughly three years ago I was invited to be aboard member for a multi
million-dollar multi media project for Los Rios Community College District.
I hope with my past experience I will be able to share what I have learned
with the cohort.
I would like to learn more about the financial impact of a company that has
poor to no training compared to a company that focus on T&D. I would also like
to look at high turn over of employees and the positive impact a training
department can have. I would like to develop a web-based training course.
How does a company know if it’s training is effective?
How much money should a company spend on employee training?
Has corporate America taken training seriously?
