Story for a strategic purpose

Posted on | by

 

Overview
When creating a story for a strategic purpose, you must first identify key components of the organizational objectives and perform initial research. In industry, this first stage of development is often proposed to leadership and/or a client in the form of a pitch. In Milestone One, you pitched your story message and target audience to leadership. The next step is to outline major elements of the story, such as the main characters, the world of the story, and important plot points. The work for this milestone is the second step in creating your storyboard presentation, which will be delivered as the project for this course.
Scenario
You are a communications consultant being asked to create a storyboard presentation for a campaign sponsored by an organization looking to engage their audience in some way. The details for each scenario are vague, allowing you to add your own details if you would like, but you cannot revise or remove what is already listed in the scenario.
Choose one of the following scenarios:
• A non-profit organization focused on saving endangered wildlife wants to raise awareness about the impact of natural disasters on wildlife.
• A non-profit organization that operates a food pantry and kitchen is having difficulty retaining volunteers to work in positions that do not directly work with the people the organization serves (such as stocking shelves and early morning kitchen prep).
• A non-profit organization that works with LGBTQIA+ youth is looking to promote their new 24/7 crisis text line service and recruit volunteers to work as crisis counselors.
• A for-profit organization that manufactures furniture wants to increase the sales of its new line of tables that can extend in multiple directions to accommodate up to 20 people.
• A for-profit organization that provides financial planning services wants to announce its new office in a country outside of the United States.
• A county public health department is concerned that the people living in the county do not trust their information or recommendations because of the negative implications of being a government organization.
Prompt
Using the scenario you chose for your story pitch in Milestone One, create a story outline for the story you will create to convey your message to the audience. The outline must include the style that will be used to tell the story along with the main characters present in the story, the world in which the story takes place, and the key plot events that will drive your story. Remember to allow your audience and message to guide all of the creative decisions you make for your story outline.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
• Identify how you intend to present your story in terms of delivery and style, including:
o Genre: Fiction, non-fiction, or a combination
o Style: documentary, animation, etc.
• Develop key narrative elements and story structure, including the following:
o Characterization (primary/main characters)
o Story world (locations, time periods, environment, cultural attributes, etc.)
o Important plot points with story arc: opening scene (to grab attention), inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action (denouement), and ending

Meeting management.
Time management in this culture.
Professional attire.
Greetings.
Lunch and meals.
Bowing vs handshake.
Gift giving.
Hairstyles.

International versus U.S. Accounting Standards

Posted on | by

Research and compare international and U.S. accounting standards. This will enable you to see how the different reporting methods affect business and how product costs are affected by international business.

The learning objectives of this report are as follows:

Compare and contrast basic U.S. and international financial accounting standards.
Explain how key international factors affect business reporting.
Identify key compliance and regulatory requirements.
Prepare a five-page written report with at least four scholarly sources covering the items listed below using APA format

Introduction

Part 1: Select financial statements for two related (e.g., computer manufactures, pharmaceutical companies, cell phone companies, etc.) businesses; one that uses U.S. accounting reporting and the other that uses international accounting reporting. Identify the following items:

Provide the name, location, and accounting standards used for each business.
Compare and contrast three major differences you see in the way the financial data is presented on the financial statements.
Identify which set of financial statements you think is the easiest to understand and provides you with most accurate cost data as a manager. (Do not forget to look at the notes to the financial statements also.)
Part 2: Analyze and discuss three international factors you think would affect the cost of the products made at the companies you selected and why.

Part 3: Discuss any compliance and/or regulatory issues you think would be involved in the companies you have selected as they relate to the cost of the products made. For example, are there strict regulations on product pricing, tariffs imposed on raw materials needed to make the products, or strict regulations on the wages paid to workers?

Search Vulnerabilities

Posted on | by

 

Last week, you familiarized yourself with IoT and IoMT. The next step is to select and research the two networked IoT or IoMT devices to use in your memo and search for information about their vulnerabilities.

Project Work: Search Vulnerabilities:

Hospitals, manufacturers, government agencies, and other organizations today rely on networked devices. In addition to medical devices such as insulin pumps, drug delivery systems, and implanted cardiac devices, hospitals use other devices like smart security cameras, trackers for equipment, door locks, and vehicle tracking devices for deliveries and transportation.
Learning Resources
Information security vulnerabilities and exposures are important to understand in order to evaluate and ultimately improve security posture by mitigating risks. The resources below will give you more information on how vulnerabilities and exposures are monitored and communicated within the information security industry.
• Vulnerabilities and Exposures
• Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) List
☀→ Your task is to check the internet and the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) List for networked IoT or IoMT devices with publicly known problems identified in the past six months.
Select two devices related that might be relevant to the organization setting and review what is known about the vulnerabilities of these devices. You will submit your findings in the Vulnerability Memo.

BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

2. Respond to two of your colleagues with a comment that asks for clarification, provides support for, or contributes additional information.
BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
As a nursing professional, you will likely engage in research for your health care setting. Depending on the research question you seek to address, you might choose to use a qualitative research design. Understanding when and why it is appropriate to choose a qualitative research design will be important as you develop research skills for nursing practice. As you continue throughout this course, think about what considerations you should keep in mind when choosing to engage in qualitative research. In what ways might qualitative research be more preferred than quantitative research for informing nursing practice?
For this Discussion, be sure to review the qualitative article by Vretare and Anderzen-Carlsson (2020). Then, view this week’s Qualitative Research Design PowerPoint webinar that describes each step of the qualitative research process and different approaches used to conduct qualitative research.

You will need to prepare and post a 350-word response that addresses the following:
• Qualitative research often is viewed as not having the same rigor and adherence to objective standards as quantitative studies. Using the references provided to assist you, prepare an argument to either support or refute this claim and post it to the Discussion. In your response, explain if qualitative research does or does not have the controls needed to generate the results that contribute to the nursing knowledge base.
• Then, explain if qualitative research could be used to investigate the patient safety problem you identified in Week 1.

Open the small Excel database that you have been using each week.
With that database, create a 95% confidence interval for age—both by hand and using Excel to calculate the pieces you need to perform the calculation.
Also, assuming that the distribution of age has a normal shape, determine the age percentile of the 72-year-old male in the data set – both by hand and using
Excel to calculate the pieces you need to perform the calculation. See example 5.13. in your text book for additional help.
