Please answer the following questions related to stakeholder management:

Who would you define as a project stakeholder? Possibly list some categories of stakeholders
List 3 to 5 reasons why stakeholder management is important to project success
What are some possible consequences of stakeholder mismanagement
Provide at least one professional example of a situation where effective stakeholder management either significantly benefited a project or where ineffective stakeholder management harmed a project.

An outdoor smoke-free policy has recently been proposed by your communitys Board of Health and would apply to all public parks and beaches. Evaluate whether and how the outdoor smoke-free policy should be enacted.

Please address all of these points:

o  What are legal considerations (e.g., laws or regulations mandating or prohibiting the activity) that must be taken into account?

Application of Attachment Theory to a Case Study

September 28, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Social Sciences

1. As you have read, theory guides the conceptualization of the clients problem and how social workers assess and intervene relative to the problem. However, theory can also shape the self-reflective questions social workers ask themselves. Clients often come to social workers under stress or distress. This then affects how the social worker responds and thus the client-social worker relationship. As a result, Foley, Nash, and Munford (2009) employed attachment theory as a lens in which to view the reflective process itself and to gain greater understanding and empathy for what each social worker within each unique social work-client relationship can access of that relationship for reflection (pp. 44).

2. This week, you will apply attachment theory to the case study you chose in Week 2. In other words, your theoretical orientationor lensis attachment theory as you analyze the case study.

3. Submit a 1- to 2-page case write-up that addresses the following:

4. Summarize the assumptions of attachment theory in 2 to 3 sentences.
Identify the problem in your chosen case study to be worked on from an attachment theory perspective.
Explain how attachment theory defines and explains the cause of the problem in one to two sentences.
Develop two assessment questions that are guided by attachment theory that you would ask the client to understand how the stress or distress is affecting the client.
Discuss two interventions to address the problem. Remember, the theory should be driving the interventions. In other words, you would not identify systematic desensitization since this is not an intervention guided by attachment theory.
Formulate one self-reflective question that is influenced by attachment theory that you can ask yourself to gain greater empathy for what the client is experiencing.
Explain which outcomes you could measure to evaluate client progress based theory.

5. Be sure to:
Identify and correctly reference the case study you have chosen.
Use literature to support your claims.
Use APA formatting and style.
Remember to double-space your paper

INTRODUCTION
Throughout your career in IT management, you will be asked to develop and improve a companysIT department, including staffing and innovative solutions. Once a company has finalized its strategic goals and budget, an organizational and resource plan needs to be developed. Then, in assistance with Human Resources (HR), innovative staffing solutions and job descriptions need to be developed.

For this task, you will create an IT organizational and resource plan that includes an annotated hierarchical organizational chart for the company described in the attached TreasureChest Case Study. (Read the attached case study before beginning this task.) Once the chart is complete, you will write a job description for one of the positions and then propose innovative replacements for two other positions. Finally, you will write a recommendation to the steering committee summarizing your plan and its alignment to business processes.

The skills you showcase in your IT organizational and resource plan and recommendations will be useful in collaborating with the various stakeholders you will work with during your career. This IT Organizational and Resource Plan may also be added to your portfolio to show to future employers.

SCENARIO

Your main responsibility is to implement innovative changes and become the direct report for the entire IT department. (The CEO has been doing this prior to your hire). You have been assigned to review the department staffing to ensure you have the right people and resources in the right positions. The CEO is looking for innovative ways to solve the staffing problem and wants you to collaborate with HR to fill these positions. You have been given the case study and strategic goals for TreasureChest and need to ensure your IT organizational and resource plan is in alignment with the companys business demands.

An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

Part I: IT Organizational and Resource Plan

3.  The Department of Corrections (DOC) needs to replace two of its prison transport buses. There are two companies that have a track record of making reliable vehicles, and both make a bus that meets the needs of the department. The DOC pays an 8% interest rate on money it borrows. The bus from Company A has a purchase price of $105,000 and a 10-year service life expectancy, and it averages $2,000 per year in maintenance costs. The bus from Company B has a purchase price of $110,000 and a 10-year service life expectancy, and it averages $1,500 per year in maintenance costs. Which bus should the Department of Corrections select?
You can use this NPV calculator for problem 3 on page 45
https://www.calculatestuff.com/financial/npv-calculator
remember you are dealing with all cash outflows which consist of the purchase price and maintenance costs. For this the 8% interest rate is the discount rate. You can use the Net Present Value calculator I posted.

4.  The information technology (IT) department has recently completed a major refurbishment and upgrade of the citys data center, at a cost of $10,145,825. The chief information officer (CIO) has informed the central budget office that the IT department will need to do the same kind of upgrade in 5 years, and he expects the total cost of that project to be 10% more than this years project, accounting for better future technology and future increases in costs. The city does not expect to have enough funding available to pay for the refurbishment in 5 years and must put money away during each of the next 4 years to meet this need. How much money should the city put aside in each of the next 4 years to be able to pay for the data center refurbishment 5 years from now, assuming the city can invest the money at a 4.5% interest rate?

PAGE 57:

4. Find a published cost-benefit analysis (net present value analysis) for any level of government and any public policy. Determine whether a sensitivity analysis has been conducted and, if so, whether any alternatives result in a recommendation that is contrary to the central recommendation of the published analysis. What variable changed in a way that led to the contrary recommendation?

5. Eastviews police department hires a new class of 50 trainees every quarter to begin the 3-month police academy program. Four nearby communities have struggled in running their own police academies, partly due to their own city funding but also because their class size is much smaller (ranging from 5 to 15 trainees in each city). Eastviews newspaper recently ran a story about the citys intent to build a new training facility for the police academy. The four communities want to partner with Eastview to have Eastview provide their academy program rather than hosting it themselves. Using the information in Worksheet 8.3, analyze how the cost would vary from the lowest enrollment to the highest enrollment if Eastview and the four surrounding communities cooperated on a joint academy. The academy provides room and board to all trainees for a period of 11 weeks.

MAKE SURE THAT THE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED SEPARATELY AND ARE PROPERLY ENUMERATED.
