enterprise architecture

November 4, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Mathematics and Statistics

How does the [technology concept] project affect enterprise architecture? For your organization, design or identify a technical-based initiative for your company.

Review the project outline & plan. Milestone One is the drafting of Part I and II from the Course Project. This draft should follow APA reporting standards including both a title page and a page for References.
Part I. Your Business Environment
    State the basic facts of your chosen (or fictional) company; What is the purpose? Who are the constituents (customers or clients)? What is the product, the industry?
    What is the technology philosophy, vision, or mission of the company? Are there shared principles for the use of technology?
o    How does (or should) enterprise technology support, align, or drive the business?

Part II. Technology Concept Selection
    Identify the technology concept (Big Data, cloud computing, or Internet of Things) to be delivered to your company.
o    How will this chosen technology concept disrupt, or perhaps become, the business?
    Describe an instance where this concept has been implemented at other organizations.
o    Research and explain one example where this technology has been successful in the context of enterprise information architecture.

Articulation of Response for the Milestone
    Always include a title page with your name, the date, the course name/number, the title of the assignment or paper, and the revision (if applicable).
    In the body of the paper, use headings and sub-headings. Do not jump from subject to subject without providing some type of heading beforehand.
    Use correct grammar and punctuation. Capitalize the first word of a sentence.
    Make the report as professional as possible. Think, If someone were to look at this paper, what would they think? Sloppy papers may have correct answers, but they still leave an overall messy feeling when read.
    Make sure you cite reference material in APA style within the text of your submission (e.g., according to John, citing in text is a key concept in this course [Doe, 2013]).

Week 2: Stengths Discussion
11 unread reply.11 reply.
Overview
Table 6.2 of our text states a strengths-based principle and then shows a corresponding implication for positive OD practitioners.  “Principle 2: We excel only by amplifying strengths, never by simply fixing weaknesses. The implication associated with this principle states “Pay attention to the initial framing of your work and beware of the negativity bias inherent in our traditional OD approaches because excellence is not the opposite of failure.”

It illustrates the key point on how we this negative bias can be pervasive and how we can use a strengths-based approach to focus on people’s strengths rather than labeling.  This is important at a personal level and organizational level. 

Prompt
How can focusing on individual strengths within an organization benefit the organization? How can you as an OD help to facilitate a culture that looks to each other’s strengths as opposed to the negative bias?
