...Today, working with a virtual team is very common. The author, Martha Haywood said that working on virtual teams can be the best of times or the worst of times. I agree with her that working with different people from around the world can be the best and the worst depending on how you handle every situation.

...PRINCIPLES OF MISSION COMMAND 1. Build cohesive teams through mutual trust – shared confidence among commanders, subordinates, and partners. 2. Create shared understanding – CDRs and staff actively maintain shared understanding within the force and with unified action partners by maintaining collaboration and dialogue throughout the operations process. 3. Provide a clear commander’s intent – convey a clear image of the operators purpose, key tasks, and the desired end state. It expresses the broader purpose of the operation – beyond that of the mission statement. 4. Exercise disciplined initiative – action in the absence of orders when existing orders no longer fit the situation, or when unforeseen opportunities or threats arise. 5. Use mission orders – directives that emphasize to subordinates the results to be attained, not how they are to achieve them. CDRs use orders to provide direction and guidance that focus the forces activities on the achievement of the main objective, set priorities, allocate resources, and influence the situation. 6. Accept prudent risk – a deliberate exposure to potential injury or loss when the commander judges the outcome in terms of mission accomplishment as worth the cost. PRESENTATION OUTLINE / SLIDES A.

When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice at bottom. Contributors:Elyssa Tardiff, Allen Brizee. Summary: This resource describes why outlines are useful, what types of outlines exist, suggestions for developing effective outlines, and how outlines can be used as an invention strategy for writing. Four Main Components for Effective Outlines Ideally, you should follow the four suggestions presented here to create an effective outline. When creating a topic outline, follow these two rules for capitalization: For firstlevel heads, present the information using all uppercase letters; and for secondary and tertiary items, use upper and lowercase letters. The examples are taken from the Sample Outline handout. Parallelism—How do I accomplish this? Each heading and subheading should preserve parallel structure. If the first heading is a verb, the second heading should be a verb. Example: I. CHOOSE DESIRED COLLEGES II. PREPARE APPLICATION ("Choose" and "Prepare" are both verbs. The present tense of the verb is usually the preferred form for an outline.) Coordination—How do I accomplish this? All the information contained in Heading 1 should have the same significance as the information contained in Heading 2. The same goes for the subheadings (which should be less significant than the headings)...

...Consulting Case Memo -- Outline Executive Summary While this section appears first, it should actually be the last thing you write. * The executive summary should be no more than one page. * Executive summaries are not “introductions.” They do not provide background. * Everything discussed in the executive summary should be explained in greater detail in the body of the memo. * If the only thing someone reads is your executive summary, your reader should have a good understanding of the problem, your proposal, the most important cost(s), and the most important benefit(s). Problem Statement Identify the problem in business terms. State clearly why the owner, president, or CEO should care about addressing the problem you’ve identified. Proposed Solution Identify the one most important action the company or organization needs to take to address the problem. Be as specific as possible in describing your solution. Costs of the Proposal Be as inclusive as possible when thinking about costs. Consider things like opportunity costs and the impact of the proposed change on the organization’s culture in addition to the more obvious financial costs. Identify every possible objection to your proposal. Why hasn’t the company already taken this step? The quickest way to have your recommendation rejected is to hear an objection to which you must reply, “I hadn’t thought of that.” Benefits of the Proposal How will your specific proposal address the problem you’ve...

...Good and poor examples of executive summaries This is a GOOD example from an Accounting & Finance assignment. Footnote Executive Summary This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the current and prospective profitability, liquidity and financial stability of Outdoor Equipment Ltd. Methods of analysis include trend, horizontal and vertical analyses as well as ratios such as Debt, Current and Quick ratios. Other calculations include rates of return on Shareholders Equity and Total Assets and earnings per share to name a few. All calculations can be found in the appendices. Results of data analysed show that all ratios are below industry averages. In particular, comparative performance is poor in the areas of profit margins, liquidity, credit control, and inventory management. The report finds the prospects of the company in its current position are not positive. The major areas of weakness require further investigation and remedial action by management.Recommendations discussed include: improving the average collection period for accounts receivable· improving/increasing inventory turnover· reducing prepayments and perhaps increasing inventory levels The report also investigates the fact that the analysis conducted has limitations. Some of the limitations include: forecasting figures are not provided nature and type of company is not known nor the current economic conditions data limitations as not enough information is provided or enough detail...

...Using the BIMS Part I data, Team C presents various descriptive statistics in the forms of frequency distribution table, measures of mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and graphical display of data. The first table is a frequency distribution table of one quantitative question in the BIMS data. Team C finds that the majority of the 78 respondents have between 0 to 20 months service with BIMS. The second highest group has between 40 to 60 months service with BIMS. The lowest frequency of one appears in five of the 17 classes. The classes with the lowest frequency of one are 120 < 140, 140 < 160, 240 < 260, 260 < 280, and 320 < 340. After summarizing the months of service per respondents, Team C focuses on the gender, division of employment, and manager/supervisors role questions. Team C completes the statistical summary of the BIMS data using the first 10 questions that represent the ordinal-level data. Frequency Distribution - Quantitative B.
