  • Title: Developing Strategic Objectives and Metrics for Organizational Advancement

    Strategic objectives are a measure of attaining your vision and mission. They reflect the vision, mission, and values of the organization, and the outcomes of the internal and external environmental analysis. 
    This week, you will determine the objectives and metrics now that you have completed your SWOT analysis in preparation for the project plan you will complete in next week’s summative assessment. The project you choose must be based on an unmet opportunity for the organization you chose in Week 1 or to minimize a potential threat. As you recall what you determined in your SWOT analysis, consider the following questions:
    What does the organization need to do to advance its goals or expand its competitive advantage? 
    How will you measure progress toward the goals? 

  • The Intersection of Education and Happiness: Exploring the Right to Happiness and its Three Key Contributors Happiness is a fundamental human desire, yet its definition and attainment remain elusive. While some may argue that happiness is subjective and cannot be defined, others

    Focus on the two chapters that deal with education (Ch. 19, pp. 463-486) and happiness (Ch. 28, pp. 729-756). The topic for this essay will be the intersection of these two issues.
    In an essay of approximately 1000 words, please write a research paper about the following topic:
    What is happiness? How do you define it? Do people have a right to happiness? What are the three most important things that can help people be happy? (Think about the things mentioned in chapters 19 and 28- education, marriage, family, but you are also free to come up with anything that you can plausibly argue and prove using evidence).  
    To support your argument, please use at least four separate sources. They should include a mix of sources from the text, quality popular and academic (scholarly) sources. If you also want to use a case of personal experience as an example, that would be wonderful, but you should also have outside sources that you find through research. This is an argumentative essay that should have a thesis statement that expresses your opinion on the issue.  
    General guidelines:
    Please make sure that your essay contains the following elements:
    a descriptive title that tells the reader what the essay is about (i.e., not “Essay #3”)
    one inch margins on all sides with type that is double spaced and a standard 12 pt. font
    information obtained from an outside source should be cited in two ways: parenthetically in the text with author’s last name and page number (Kincaid 12), and as an MLA formatted entry on a references page at the end of the essay.
    Your essay must have a Works Cited page

    For this discussion, explore the following: 
    Could your agency benefit from your officers performing at their peak with a nexus to improved community relations? Our communities and environments are diverse and constantly evolving, and our efforts to support organizational wellness should reflect this. 
    How can we increase resources for police officers to ensure they have support to do their jobs? 
    If you have ever requested a cover unit during a tense situation, you understand the relief in hearing your partner respond on the radio, “I’m en route.” Why is it we have little hesitation with requesting assistance in the field, but when it comes to our personal lives, we struggle with something we do routinely? 
    How do we overlook the relationship between personal interactions and professional performance? Take it a step further and recall a time when you asked for assistance, and the other party was not only willing to help but appreciative of the opportunity to be alongside you in support.   
    Response should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards where appropriate
