The ability to work as a team and to be able to achieve consensus in today’s workplace is an important skill. Before we explore the world of work,labor and management, we will study the nature of consensus decision making as a means of attempting to bridge the gap between the two sides in a collective bargaining simulation.

 The different types of decision making processes are majority rule voting, Roberts Rules of Order, and a consensus. Consensus is a decision making process that is based on the agreement of everyone. Majority rule voting is a process in which an option is chosen if it had more than half of the votes. Roberts Rules of Order is a handbook that is based on the rules and practices of Congress, which revolve around majority voting within large groups. The advantages of CDM in comparison to majority voting and Roberts Rules of Order is having everyones opinion acknowledged and making sure everyone is satisfied with the proposal. Unlike CDM, the other decision-making processes only satisfies some of the population, while the other portion of the population is not in agreement, which creates a minority. Another advantage of CDM is that all participants are engaged and communicative with one another. A disadvantage of a consensus is the time it will take to create a mutual agreement, it is very time consuming; with majority voting and Roberts Rules of Order, its way more quicker to just vote and announce the winning proposal. 
     Conditions that are necessary for consensus building is a common goal, sufficient time, a clear process, trust and openness, active participation, good facilitation, and a commitment to reach a consensus. Trust and openness is the most important condition to me because in order to come to an effective agreement, everyone must trust each other and their ideas, as well as being open to the other participants ideas.  
     An experience I have had involving a consensus decision-making process was at home. My parents asked my siblings and I what we wanted to eat for dinner. Each of us choose something different, for example, Domino’s pizza, chinese food, and Popeyes. With such differences, the circumstances that emerged would be someone not being in agreement. So, we decided to go through a consensus; my siblings and I talked it out, and all agreed on Popeyes. We were all in agreement, and were satisfied with the final solution.

 Base Pay Structures 

see  video below

 Now, based on the video’s information and discussion, you get to decide 3 important factors (or take-aways) you want the executive team to know about pay structures. This is the executive team, not regular managers, so be sure your factors are well thought-out and high-level. 

Reflect and think about the performance analyses that you have experienced? 

Recall a time when the analysis was requested and one when it was not but was done as part of the planning or design phase of the work?

 In what ways did the actual analysis differ? 

Were the results of that analysis reported back to sponsors differently? 

Accepted differently? 

If so, why do you think that was?

As a human services leader, you have expertise in your community and have a sense of services and programs that it may need. While you may notice trends and changes, a more structured approach to gathering and analyzing this information will be required if you hope to launch a new program to address a need. In this paper, you will identify a perceived unmet need in your local community and use it to present a proposed community needs assessment and its projected results.

You will identify the various components of the community needs assessment and their contributions to the process. To provide a visual graphic of your community needs assessment, you will create a logic model, presenting the various components and how they interact with one another. Since human services leaders need to maintain ethical standards and be attentive to diversity, both of these content areas should be integrated into your community needs assessment design.

Instructions

Utilizing this topic as context, design a proposed community needs assessment and its projected results. Present the components of community needs assessment and a preliminary application. Highlight issues of ethics, as well as diversity and inclusion.

These ideas are to be communicated in the narrative along with a graphic representation. Create a logic model, which is a specific type of flowchart for graphically presenting this information, to demonstrate your understanding of community needs assessment. Include your logic model as an appendix to your paper.

Be sure to address the following in your paper:

• Present a social problem that appears to be an unmet need in your local community.
• Propose a community needs assessment regarding potential programming to address this social problem.
• Discuss how the community needs assessment addresses accessibility and cultural sensitivity to promote inclusion of diverse populations.

DISCUSSION 1

Evaluative Tools      

In Chapter 7, three additional evaluation tools were introduced: the CIPP model of evaluation, Kaufmans five levels of evaluation, and CIRO. Choose one of the three models of evaluation. Describe the model. What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages?

Reference and cite the textbook in your original post. Respond to at least two of your classmates posts.

DISCUSSION 2

Is It a Learning Organization?      

In Chapter 8, transfer of learning is examined. Transfer of learning is based on organizational climate. The climate of a learning organization is most conducive to the transfer of learning. Describe the characteristics of the learning organization. Based on the characteristics of your organization is it a learning organization? Why or why not?

Use this weeks lecture as a basis for your post. Reference and cite the textbook in your original post.  Respond to at least two of your classmates posts.

Using the same scenario from Assignment 1, you realize that transitioning your organization to a learning environment may not be as easy as first imagined. You have encountered several resistance issues relating to the culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You decide to gather a decision-making team to assist in identifying the high or moderate resistance risks that may stop or slow down the process of this transition. The decision-making team must also recommend some mitigation intervention to lower the identified resistance risks to either moderate or low. For example, a high resistance risk can become moderate or low and moderate resistance risk can become low.

Your final product will be a table that identifies five (5) issues related to the organizations culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You must also provide a description of each resistance issue and rate the resistance risk before the mitigation intervention as either High (H) or Moderate (M). Then, you must provide a description of your teams mitigation intervention and determine the resistance risks downgrade from High (H) to Moderate (M) or Low (L) and / or Moderate (M) to Low (L) after the mitigation intervention.

Create a table in which you:

1. Determine one (1) challenge in the culture that may cause a major resistance to the transition from individual learning to organizational learning. Next, recommend one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
2. Predict one (1) psychological learning threat that may result from the transition and then provide one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
3. Assess the current organization structure as it relates to the free flow of knowledge then specify one (1) issue that may cause a major resistance to the transition. Provide one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
4. Critique the workforce commitment to this transition and predict one (1) major resistance you may encounter. Next, provide a mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
5. Propose one (1) dissemination of knowledge issue with the recipients ability to absorb the knowledge and comprehend it into action (i.e., motivating the recipient to share knowledge). Next, provide one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
6. Use the Resistance Risk Mitigation Intervention Table template located . You may also use Microsoft Word or other equivalent software to create a table in an equivalent format for this supporting document.
