Resource: Ch. 11, p. 176 of Flawless Consulting

Block (2011) states, “The option is to involve the whole client system much more directly in redefining the problem, naming a desired future, outlined alternative actions, and deciding how to proceed. Many consultants and support people have adopted the whole-system approach and redefined their role to be one of convening people to collectively develop a change strategy“ (p. 176). Block introduces his concept of a whole-system discovery process and can be used in a workplace evaluation.

Evaluate your workplace or one that is familiar to you. Identify an organizational issue and complete a needs assessment of this workplace issue in terms of concepts learned throughout the BS/IOP program. Apply strategies for performance improvement related to the following:

  • Leadership style
  • Organizational culture
  • Mission, vision, and values alignment
  • System of management
  • Decision making
  • Motivational techniques
  • Employee morale
  • Ethics
  • Communication and feedback

Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation detailing your workplace evaluation, including at least 100 words of speaker notes per slide.

You must support opinions and any facts by citing credible sources in the body of the assignment and listing the references including at least two scholarly references in APA style. See Tips for Success article for Class Announcements for guidance on selecting scholarly references.

You have taken steps to identify the risks in your community, identify the actions that the community has taken to address those risks, and prepare some priority issues to address in risk management. Now, this work will be combined to create a portfolio package. You should prepare this portfolio package as if you were going to an interview panel and interviewing for a position as the community’s chief resiliency officer. The chief resiliency officer is equal to the other department heads in the organization and reports directly to the chief executive such as the city manager or county administrator. 

You have flexibility in how you organize the portfolio package. However, the components that make up your portfolio package should include corrections and updates that you made based on integrating the feedback provided by your professor about your previous assignments.

You have the option to submit your portfolio package as multiple files or as a single file. 

Your portfolio package will include the elements listed below. 

  • Include an executive summary that introduces the portfolio package and highlights the priority focuses for risk management and hazard mitigation that you have identified. Your executive summary should include an overview of the current activities in disaster risk reduction and risk management that are being used in your community and your new action plan that provides a snapshot of how you would frame or change the risk management activities of the office, should you get the chief resiliency officer position.
  • Your portfolio package will also include your revised and updated assignments from Units II, IV, VI, and VII. You should update them as needed to address the feedback provided by your instructor. Specifically, make certain to include the following elements: 
    • Unit II Article Critique: Incorporate your article critique discussing an emergency support function issue for today’s first responders. 
    • Unit IV Research Paper: This section should contain the research and evaluation of your local hazard mitigation plan. 
    • Unit VI PowerPoint Presentation: Include your presentation, which focused on the evaluation of your community’s hazard mitigation plan. 
    • Unit VII Scholarly Activity: Include your briefing memo. 

APA Style should be followed.

The CEO informed you that under the previous CHRO,  the company was subject to legal action resulting from lack of knowledge  of employment law, which had unfavorable outcomes. Avoiding similar  experiences is a high priority, and your thorough presentation to the  management team is the first big step to success.

  1. Include cover, agenda, conclusion, and reference list slides, all of which may count toward total slide count.
