...Jim O’Brien Phase 3 Discussion Board – Project Risk Management MPM434-1204A-02 Contracts and Procurement Professor Christian Cheney No matter the size of a project, there are going to be risks associated with the project. Identifying risks early in a project can be critical to whether a project succeeds or fails. You can gain success for your project if you deal with project risks in a proactive manner. The result will be that you minimize the impact on the project and seize the opportunity to correct potential project road blocks (B. Jutte). All project plan need to include a risk management plan that is implemented early in the project and monitored throughout the life of the project (Risk Management Guide for DoD Acquisition). This discussion post asked us to identify four potential overall risks that could be experienced in the execution of our contract and procurement plan. The four major risks that could be experienced in the execution of my contract and procurement plan are: technical, schedule, production and cost. My contract and procurement plan is the development of a variable speed air refueling drogue to support tactical air refueling of rotary-wing and tilt-rotor aircraft by Air Combat Command and Air Force Special Operations Command C-130J tanker aircraft. Currently the tanker aircraft are configured with a either a low speed drogue for rotary-wing air refueling or a high speed drogue for tilt-rotor air refueling. Both of the commands want...

...Organizations may group these modules to form a basic Biomed or SBE course, or a course that combines the two tracks. The Additional Modules of Interest should be used in any course variation, if relevant. The basic Biomed modules have three corresponding sets of refresher modules and the basic SBE modules have two corresponding sets of refresher modules. These refresher modules are intended to provide learners with a review of what was covered in the basic level modules. It is generally recommended that organizations select refresher module requirements that reflect their selections for the basic course(s). Refresher courses should be taken in a cycle at an interval specified by your organization (for example, Refresher Stage 1: 3 years after completion of basic course; Refresher Stage 2: 6 years after completion of basic course). Three additional standalone courses are available: Institutional/Signatory Official: Human Subject Research, and IRB Chair. The Institutional/Signatory Official: Human Subject Research course provides a general introduction to the roles and responsibilities of the institutional official at an organization holding a Federalwide Assurance (FWA). The IRB Administration course offers members of an Institutional Review Board’s (IRB) administrative office a comprehensive review of the critical areas associated with IRB, human research protection program (HRPP), and HRPP/IRB office operations. The IRB Chair course provides detailed training...

...PHASE 4 DISCUSSION BOARD Darnell E. Bush Colorado Technical University May 2, 2012 PHASE 1 Business Organization Basics In this Introductory DB, we were to introduce ourselves to each other, and get acquainted, and then respond to 2 students! Once the formalities were out of the way, we settled down to the business of becoming students. In this Phase 1 DB2, we were told to pick a company, and to follow it throughout the course. I chose Wal-Mart. The selection was made, and the research was done, and I found that this company really lives up to its Mission Statement, “saving people money so they can live better lives”. I also learned of another commitment called CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility. This function is dedicated to, and responsible for developing policies, that integrate responsible practices into daily business. We also discussed why a CSR program was relevant in today’s marketplace. It is nothing more than the ethics of business. We also discussed how CSR was responsible to the stakeholders, stockholders, associates, and customers. It was also interesting to know where Wal-Mart was, as far as the industry was concerned, and where in the global market. This is where I learned about the NAICS (North American Industry Classification System, and The Global Industry Classification...

...model), etc. For-Profit Versus Nonprofit Strategic Planning Major differences in how organizations carry out the various steps and associated activities in the strategic planning process are more of a matter of the size of the organization -- than its for-profit/nonprofit status. Small nonprofits and small for-profits tend to conduct somewhat similar planning activities that are different from those conducted in large organizations. On the other hand, large nonprofits and large for-profits tend to conduct somewhat similar planning activities that are different from those conducted in small organizations. (The focus of the planning activities is often different between for-profits and nonprofits. Nonprofits tend to focus more on matters of board development, fundraising and volunteer management. For-profits tend to focus more on activities to maximize profit.) Model One - Conventional Strategic Planning This is the most common model of strategic planning, although it is not suited for every organization. It is ideal for organizations that...

...Case Study 3 Sean Brandner seanb222@yahoo.com MGMT 591 Professor Schaller 5/18/2014 Part 1: Group Development As per what the text defines in the five stages of group development, the group is at the storming phase. This is the phase where the group has been established and accepted by all parties involved; however each side is struggling to make sure that their ideas and thoughts are present. They are looking for nominees for the administration who ultimately control the group and establish the effectiveness of the end goal. In understanding the five stages of group formation, The Woodson Foundation could have avoided a long and drawn out storming phase. The storming phase is essentially wasted time as the only thing being established are the expectations of what each party feels they are able to contribute. The Woodson Foundation could have done a bit more research before this was underway to better understand the demographic of the community of the people they were going into help. The good news is that they are at least experienced with setting these types of programs up and have had successful results in the past. Part 2: Problem Identification The primary issue with the group at this point is the conflict of interest and how much influence each party should be allowed. The school and foundation are pretty much in league with each other in regards to them sharing the most power. The parents would like to have greater influence and input into...

...INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE DEBATE REVIEW AND DISCUSSIONS Introduction The course “Logic and Critical Thinking” has built into the curriculum 20% of the work to be done online. The three Debate Reviews and Discussions fulfill this course requirement. Each of the three debate reviews and discussions is anticipated to take approximately four hours to complete the online portion (watching the media and small group discussion). The writing of the four page minimum paper is not captured by the five hour online aspect of the online portion. Each debate review and discussion is broken down into four phases: watching/reading the media, small group discussion, large group discussion board and your individual work through the four page paper. The Focus for the business-related debate The focus for the second debate assignment is to continue to pay attention to any definite arguments – the V and T argument structures (identify at least two), but this time pay more attention to the conditional types of arguments that may arise within the documentary. These are statements are include things like, “If this, then this.” Or “Either this or this” – or any of the valid forms we looked at in class. Once you have identified at least 4 throughout the movie, diagram them either through a sentential structure or a symbolic one and briefly describe how they are used in the documentary. For a bonus, see if you can find an invalid argument – one that either denies the antecedent or affirms the consequent...
