Professional Development: Learning In The Workplace

Prior to beginning this discussion, read the following required articles:

  • “Organizational Learning in Target Setting”
  • “Organizational Learning and Learning Organizations: An Integrative Framework”
  • “Improving Organizational Learning Through Leadership Training”
  • “Systematic Professional Development Training and Its Impact on Teachers’ Attitudes Toward ELLs: SIOP and Guided Coaching”
  • “Review of Organizational Resilience: How Learning Sustains Organizations in Crisis, Disaster, and Breakdowns”

For this discussion, you will be focusing on your self-development and your learning experiences in the context of the workplace. In your initial post, apply basic research methods and the alignment of content within research to the questions below by making connections between your personal experiences and the content from the readings. You might also utilize other peer-reviewed articles of interest to you to support your assertions and conclusions. Analyze how your personal development in the learning and cognition domains have matured and developed through your formative years and work experiences. Your writing should not simply answer each question; a fully developed personal analysis of your own growth and learning processes should be concise and well organized in a manner that exhibits your improved writing ability and reflects APA style format.
In addition to answering the questions below, include an introduction and conclusion to your post.

  • What types of training and education have you received in the workplace?
  • What do you do now that differs from your past educational learning experiences?
  • How have your life experiences affected your learning?
  • Have events in your life influenced your beliefs and how you assert yourself in the learning process?
  • How do you see yourself as a life-long learner?

Next, consider how organizational learning and culture affect you personally and apply skeptical inquiry to the resolution of problems related to your own learning and cognition. How might you adjust your current strategies? Finally, apply ethical principles and professional standards of learning and cognition psychology that you have learned about to teaching or counseling others in the workplace. What implications should you consider when working with others?
This discussion should be approximately 500 words in length and should establish your understanding of the content, apply appropriate methods of ethical practices, and exhibit appropriate scaffolding of personal experience to the week’s content

the writer should see the attached file for paper instructions.

What are baseline security requirements that should be applied to the design and implementation of applications, databases, systems, network infrastructure, and information processing when considering cloud computing within an enterprise risk management framework?

For this question, you will identify a topic of interest to your professional practice(see attachment article). Select a problem or issue in your workplace or future field which you have some interest in solving or improving. For example, perhaps you are an elementary teacher with an interest in improving student engagement.
Then, search the library databases for educational research articles. Find two research reports that address your topic and problem. The research reports must be from the last five years, and must be peer-reviewed, original research articles from a journal.

Unit 1 Assignment 1 (U1A1)
(Individual)
“Finding Balance”
Week 1
100 points
Introduce yourself to your classmates and to me.  Write using first person, such as—Hello class, my name is ME, and I want to tell you a little bit about myself and why I am interested in healthcare administration…
Within the context of your intro, share your perspective on the importance of “finding balance” between the roles of healthcare delivery providers, such as nurses and assorted clinicians in a hospital environment next to the business/financial component that drives variables such as costs, length of stay, discharge protocols, admit/surgical denials, and any others.  Further consider that there is (or should be) a synergy among/between patient care providers and bean counters, yet it requires money to keep the beds open and salaries paid—just as it takes the care provided by trained professionals on the units.  How effective is writing “policy” on matters such as these?
This first assignment should be at least two pages in length, double spaced, 12 points font, and the title page is not part of the page count.  If you cite, be sure to include your sources within the essay, and at the end in a separate Reference List.  However, because this assignment is more of an opportunity to opine, sources are not mandatory.

Case Study: Carmex – Setting the Price of the Number One Lip Balm

  1. Read the case on pages 394-396 in your text. (Additional information regarding Carmex can be found on pages 232-234 in the text).
  2. Watch the video supplement to the case at link http://www.viddler.com/embed/64abee32 (Links to an external site.).
  3. Respond to the following case question. (Disregard the questions in the text.)
    The Carmex pricing structures are determined by how a firm might view itself as an integral partner in a value network. It may be thought of as an overall system of formal and informal relationship within which the firm participates to procure, transform, enhance, and ultimately supply its offering in final form within a market space. This value network is a strategic approach to cut costs and maximize process efficiencies, in the pursuit of the ultimate objective; to co-create value, a most important component of the pricing structure.
    You’re a member of the corporate marketing team and you’ve been given the task of recommending the pricing considerations for future product introductions. Include an analysis/evaluation of the current pricing structure (define the strategy used currently) and if you recommend this strategy be continued for future product introductions.
