Corporate culture refers to the full range of the company’s characteristics and components, attempting to differentiate a company from its competitors while also unifying its work force by improving the communication between employees. A companies culture is created by experiences of its members. Because of this, project managers need to interact with cultural influences or risk running into conflicts and misunderstandings with clients, vendors, and employees. Conflicts can also occur within the company in a number of ways.

For example, many companies have multiple office across the globe, and the language used in these offices can differ. This can cause project managers to be in a hard place when trying to communicate between the employees in the different offices. The best practice would be to determine the tools of communication (email, phone calls, definitions), and apply clear communication throughout any meetings. Conflict can occur in any office, these examples are no different. The different culture, personalities, and motivations in the team can cause conflicts, so addressing these can minimize them. A good project manager can recognize these aspects and work with them to ensure a team works well and respectfully with each other.

I would choose Microsoft as the organization I would want to serve as a CIO for numerous reasons. A project sponso is one level above a project manager. The project sponsor does not manage day to day operations, rather they ensure the resources are in place and promote the project. A project sponsor would be pivotal simply for the fact they ensure resources are in place. From ensuring the project has money to equipment, the sponsor is important in ensuring their project is taken care of.

Please respond to the following: 1-2 paragraphs. Then respond in one paragraph to the additional post.

Your company is exploring the possibility of allowing employees to use their own mobile devices for their work and connect to the internal company network. In your role as the CSO, the CEO has asked you to brief her on what steps can be taken to implement a BYOD policy while reducing the overall risk to the organization as much as possible.

Write your talking points for the CEO, including the associated risks with BYOD, potential security countermeasures, and your initial thoughts on how you would test their implementation to assess the overall risk level. This can be in paragraph form or a bulleted list of your talking points.

Once that section is completed, respond in one paragraph to the post below. State if you agree or disagree and the reasoning why. You may also add on to the conversation.

While BYOD is becoming more commonplace in the workforce, there are risks in using your own device.

Because the employee is using their own device, it is possible for the employee to download malware that could potentially create a risk for company information that is stored on the device. This can helped with proper training for employees on how to spot malware and viruses, along with training on how to safely browse and use antivirus software.

Data theft is another issue to be concerned about. Public Wi-Fi networks could allow attackers to gain access to the employees system and steal their data. While an employee may have to use public Wi-Fi from time to time depending on circumstances, employees should deter from doing so. Employees should also use the companies VPN for an extra layer of security while using public Wi-Fi.

Employees need to be trained on using their own device for business so they do not make mistakes that could cause issues with BYOD. Ranging from email security, to network security, it is important for employees to understand how to properly use their device.

And lastly, device loss or theft. A lost or stolen device could cause a major security issue for the company. To prevent this, an encryption software that can wipe the device if unauthorized access is attempted too many times can be installed to protect the device.

When seeking a child care facility to which to entrust their children, families do extensive research to find a location that works best for them. Parents can use the handbook of a child care facility to learn about the procedures and expectations of the facility to assist them in selecting the best placement for their children.
