Performance Management 

A central factor that can determine the effectiveness of a performance management system, of course, is whether an employee’s performance is raised, thereby raising the overall performance (and profitability) of the organization. This is accomplished by ensuring that the performance of an employee is directly tied to the organization’s overall strategic goals/objectives.

In this critical thinking assignment, choose any Saudi Arabian company in which you are familiar (it does not need to be one that you have worked for). Research the specific goals or objectives of the organization over the next 5 years, along with the main principles of a performance management system, and then address the following questions:

Give a brief review of the organization you have chosen.

State the 2-3 most important goals/objectives for the organization over the next five years.

As mentioned above, the key to an effective performance management system is to directly tie organizational goals with an employee’s specific goals. If that employee accomplishes those goals, then the organization has an opportunity (collectively) to reach its overall goals/objectives. Given that statement, choose any position you are familiar with in that organization. They develop 3 goals that the person in that position must accomplish over the next years in order to be successful in their position and, as a result, that would allow the organization to be successful. Below is an example:
EXAMPLE: The goal of the Riyad Bank is to increase its profit margins by 5 percent over the next two years. Therefore, one of the performance goals for the Chief Financial Officer is to develop a strategy that, when implemented, will reduce expenses a minimum of 2 percent in each of the subsequent 3 years.If addressed correctly, students will learn, via the performance management system, to create performance standards that directly tie employee performance to organizational performance.

SPD-581-O500: Research Based Instruction, Remediation, and Intervention in ELA (Intervention Plan)

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Professors Instructions:

When teaching ELA, teachers must be mindful of the varying literacy skills and abilities each student possesses and create instruction and learning opportunities that can help students practice their skills, particularly when they are struggling with reading and writing. The ability to structure activities that allow students repeated practice in deficit literacy skill areas can lead to improvements and allow students to become proficient in reading and writing.

Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Part 1: Applying Intervention and Remediation Strategies

With the students you identified previously, implement the literacy intervention and remediation activities you designed in “Clinical Field Experience C: Research-Based Intervention and Remediation Strategies.” You should meet with the students at least twice, once to conduct the intervention activity and again to conduct the remediation activity with them so they can improve in the skills deficit areas.

Part 2: Mentor Debriefing

After each of the two sessions in which you implement the intervention and remediation activities, meet with your mentor to discuss and take notes about the following. You will submit a copy of your feedback notes.

Obtain feedback on the effectiveness of your implementation of the literacy intervention and remediation activities.

Discuss the students’ responses to the activities and what was effective in helping students practice their literacy skills.

Identify potential areas for change or improvement in the literacy intervention and remediation activities based on the student response and outcomes.

  • Use any remaining field experience hours to provide support or assistance to the class as directed by your mentor.
  • In a reflection, addressing the following:
  • Describe the results of implementing the literacy intervention and remediation activities with the students.

Reflect on your execution of the literacy intervention and remediation activities and their effectiveness. Include a discussion of both successes and challenges as well as changes you would make if implementing the activities again.

ITMG221: Project Planning & Estimating and Scheduling.

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Project Planning & Estimating and Scheduling

Project plan is produced during the planning phase. Although planning starts much earlier – even during the concept phase and requirements definition, the plan cannot be finalized until reasonable estimates of schedule and costs are made. The project plan is the formal document that guides execution of a project. Planning occurs through a project, that is, the planning process is dynamic and ongoing and many planning processes will be repeated during the design and execution phases as changes are made in the project.

Many problems can occur in a project if insufficient time is spent planning; the purpose of planning is to prevent those problems from occurring. causes of poor planning may include estimates that are poorly done, exception handling that is grossly misunderstood; requirements that are incomplete, changing or not understood; technical complexity that is misunderstood; old code content that is not known; new requirements that are added or sneaked into the plan; dictated constraints; and inadequate time to do a project job.

Estimating is the bridge from the work break down structure to planning schedules, costs and resources. The basic process of estimating applies to the wide variety of estimates needed in projects, including time estimates for scheduling, cost estimates for budgeting and personnel and equipment estimates for planning resources.

Scheduling a project requires both a scientific and an artistic touch. It requires a scientific touch because the schedule has to reflect the work breakdown structure tasks in a logical and interrelated way to optimize resources across the organization. Scheduling requires an artistic touch because tasks not only are technically dependent ot interrelated but are often politically driven, thus requiring finesse and interpersonal skill.

Discussion Points:

  • What are are some key steps in developing a project schedule?
  • Why is project plan important in a project?
  • Discuss two types of Estimation techniques.

QUESTION

Understanding Visual Rhetoric: A simple beginning definition of visual rhetoric and its applications are as follows:

Use of images as argument

Arrangement of elements on a page

Use of typography (fonts, etc.)

  • Analysis of existing images and visuals
  • Assignment Instructions:
    1. Conduct an online search for relevant/controversial visuals (static or dynamic). Select at least 3.
    2. Reflect on the visuals you have selected and revised, then conduct a rhetorical analysis.
  • Apply the following strategies: 
  • 1. Describe/Observe

First, describe what you see in the visual quite literally. Begin by focusing on colors, shading, shapes, and font if you’re analyzing an advertisement. As you describe them, observe the texture, shape, contour, etc., of each element. For this initial stage, you are simply describing what you observe. Do not look deeper at this point.

2. Respond/Reflect

Next, respond to the ways in which the things you described have impacted you as a viewer. What emotions are evoked from the various shadings and colors in the image? If there are words present, what does the artist’s font selection do for the image? At this stage, you are questioning the elements used so that you may move to the final stage of analysis.

3. Analyze/Question

After you’ve described and reflected upon the various elements of the visual, question what you have noted and decide if there is an argument presented by the visual. This assessment should be made based on what you’ve observed and reflected upon in terms of the image’s content alone. Ask yourself if the arrangement of each item in the visual impacts the message. Could there be something more the creator wants you to gather from this visual besides the obvious? Question the criteria you established in your thesis and introduction to see if it holds up throughout your analysis. Now, you are ready to begin writing a visual rhetorical analysis of your selected image.
