  • Evaluating the Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy in Action: A Case Study of the Minimum Wage Debate Evaluating the Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy in Action: A Case Study of the Minimum Wage Debate

    Our cornerstone project details are as follows:
    Each week you have explored the Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy in your break-out groups — one at a time.
    Now you are asked to choose a single current public policy issue (i.e. minimum wage, social security, welfare, etc.) to evaluate in depth. You will explore the issue using each of the Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy -and provide your analysis of each principle as it pertains to the public policy issue you chose. You have the option to present your evaluation via a formal paper or a video presentation via uploading it to YouTube and emailing me the link. A solid paper will do the following:
    Introduce and summarize the topic you chose 
    What problem is it trying to solve
    Who are the “winners” and “losers”
    How long has it been enacted
    What changes have been made to improve it/fix issues with it over the years
    What costs (financial or otherwise) has it incurred
    Evaluate the proposal based on the Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy 
    Analyze all 7 principles individually as they pertain to the policy issue 
    Discuss how the policy issue meets or fails to meet the standard set by each of the seven principles
    Draw conclusions as to how effective the policy is based off of how well it adheres to each of the issues 
    Conclusion
    A robust conclusion summarizing the policy issue and determining whether it is effective at solving the problems it is intended to address.
    If you choose to write a final paper, your paper must be written in size 12 font, double spaced using proper spelling and grammar. It must be your own, original work and follow APA citation guidelines. All sources must be cited. Use of AI/ChatGPT is not allowed. Suggested length is 3-5 pages but more importantly is that you cover all the content listed above. 
    If you choose to make a video presentation, it needs to be conducted in a professional manner (professional speech, professional attire, clean background (blank wall, desk, or some other non-distracting setting)). Your presentation needs to cover each of the criteria above in an organized, clear and coherent manner. You are welcome to jazz it up with PowerPoint or media enhancements but your face and your voice must appear on screen. I suggest videos are no longer than 15 minutes long but there is no minimum length requirement. Again, most important is that you cover all the content listed above.
    Your goal in this assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge of the Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy while proving your ability to think critically about a public policy issue.

  • Preparing for a Successful Safety Meeting or Training Session Introduction: – Explain the importance of safety meetings or training sessions in the workplace – Introduce the approved topic for the presentation Step 1: Identify the Topic – Clearly state the name “Creating a Culture of Safety: Essential Topics for Workplace Health, Safety, and Security Training”

    The presentation will inform the instructor how you will prepare to conduct a safety, health or security meeting or training session. The presentation must also include sample of handouts to be provided to the audience. These can be displayed or shown during the presentation and included with the final project.  
    Step 1 – Topic: Identify name of approved topic for safety meeting or training session.
    Step 2 – Goal of the workshop – To begin, ask yourself: Who are the participants, what is their level of responsibility, why are they attending this training session?  What is the purpose of your training session? In essence: What do you want to accomplish?  
    Step 3 – Target Audience: Who is the audience? Examples: management staff, supervisors, general population, office workers, nurses-medical staff, janitorial staff.  
    This helps you in designing your course and its content. A presentation to management staff is going to be more sophisticated versus an audience of the general population. Also choice of words, examples to illustrate your points may differ based on the audience. Knowing who your audience is will help you in developing content and delivery that will fit their needs.
    Step 4 – Training Objectives: Identify Clear learning objectives – what will attendees know (knowledge factors) and/or be able to do (ability factors)?  As a result of your training session what will audience specifically know or be able to do?   
    In essence what the learner will be doing when demonstrating achievement or mastery of the objectives. Stress what the participant will walk away from the activity with. Example: Workshop on proper lifting methods. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to size up an object to be lifted and use proper lifting techniques to safely lift that object. Attendees are able to demonstrate and use proper and safe lifting techniques.
    Step 5 – Value: Determine how this training will add value to your organization. Examples: regulatory compliance with federal OSHA standards such as mandated training (Hazard Communication) or state Right to Know Law.  Example: Reduce potential job injuries thereby reducing workers compensation costs.
    Step 6 – Materials/Training Aids: List the all materials that will be used for the training. Examples: handouts, participant guide. Create and submit a minimum of two handouts relating to the topic and number the handouts (#1, #2). These can be posters, reminders, quizzes, crossword puzzles, group assignment and discussions. Again, be creative. Consider what tools will reinforce the training goals/objectives. 
    Step 7 – Outline: How will your presentation unfold? Is there a logical flow of information? Outline the topics to be covered; sequence the topics so that there is a logical flow of the material. Almost like a road map. Starting point to journey completion. Helps you visualize how everything in your presentation will fit together. A mind map of fit, logical flow and sequence.   
    Step 8 – Methods and Techniques: List the methods and techniques that would be used to make the training interactive, interesting, and effective. Examples: lecture, demo, experiential learning exercises, case studies, problem solving exercises, A/V aids.  (Hint: use Google to find some effective training methods and techniques).
    Step 9 – Resources: Create a reference list for all of the resources that will be used for the presentation. For example: Where did you obtain the information that you used for your presentation?     
    Step 10 – Assessment: Describe how you will know when your participants have arrived at their intended destination?  In other words, how will you know if they have learned what you intended them to learn (i.e. presentation training objectives)?  The only way you will know, is if you have taken the time to gather some evidence that they did.  This can be done in several ways, for example: pre and post survey, informal conversations, observation, etc.   
    Below are the safety training presentation topics. 
    Topics to Choose From:
    Systems approach to health, safety & security: safety management system (SMS)
    How to create a culture of safety awareness: creating a culture of safety excellence
    Safety Leadership
    Workplace hazard recognition: identify potential safety & health hazards & processes in your workplace
    Workplace safety inspection checklist for potential safety & health hazards in your workplace
    Job hazard analysis: steps for doing
    Office Safety: office hazards
    Lifting hazards: preventing back injuries
    Ergonomics
    Workplace violence: case studies and ways to prevent potential workplace violence
    Accident investigation: use systems approach, include cause and effect analysis
    Accident causation
    Behavior: based safety
    State Right To Know (RTK) regulations & requirements
    OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (training, compliance requirements, hazard analysis)
    Train the trainer: teach employees and supervisors how to conduct an effective health, safety or security related training session
    Workplace safety and security orientation for new employees

  • Implementing a Gated-Review Approach to Capital Budgeting: My Experiences and Observations

    Unread
    Hello Class. Over the years, I was fortunate in being part of the review process for small, medium and large-scale project launch decisions. My experiences for capital budgeting projects requiring large investments involved a gated-review approval process intended to select the best projects while optimizing product-development performance. This gated-review approach to capital budgeting was also designed to eliminate escapes and mitigate risk in the upfront approval stages of the development cycle of a new product by ensuring that the company makes the right decisions at critical points in this cycle. Accordingly, visibility and accountability was needed to ensure team involvement and data accuracy during the capital budgeting process. My experience and observations with this process involved the execution of a lean, scalable, adaptable and structured gate-review process. When the capital budgeting decision involved large investment and multi-site resources, our gate-review process was designed to provide real-time event status reports (by product, by criterion, by supplier, by revision history, etc.) with all the information hosted within a password-protected data-base environment. Thus, providing ready access to authorized personnel on a 24/7 basis from any site (including suppliers and customer personnel if applicable). The system provided automated email reminders, minimized cross-functional conflicts and provided email approvals via electronic signatures for key criterion. Changes were tracked by person, time and date without use of a manual log. The process was visible to senior leadership so that they could respond to issues and plan ahead. This gated review process for our large capital budgeting projects helped to reduce the potential of false-positives (event passes when it should not have) and system-facilitated out-briefs so that the Gate Leads did not have to work all night on charts that may unintentionally manipulate the message.
    Thanks for reading, Dr. Randy Baker
