NO PLAGIARISM
I’ve included previous completed assignments and templates for reference. 
The purpose of this assignment is to identify key stakeholders within your organization who are affected by, have influence over, or have an interest in solving the problem you are attempting to address with your action research project.
Stakeholder analysis requires you to examine a number of variables in relation to each individual or group you have identified. Use the “Stakeholder Brainstorming” resource provided as a tool to assist you in completing the “Stakeholder Analysis” Excel spreadsheet.
In the analysis, list titles and groups of stakeholders. Do not list names of specific individuals. It is important to note the role each stakeholder has in the problem and in solving the problem. Determine whether or not the individual or group has a negative, indifferent, positive, or very positive predisposition about the problem.
Within the “Stakeholder Analysis” spreadsheet, there is a tab labeled “Current-State Matrix.” Study the terminology related to influence and support and think about how each block describes the feelings a stakeholder may have about the problem and proposed solution. For example, there may be a group or individual that has a high degree of support with regard to solving the problem. If you know such person or group also has a high level of influence in how the problem is solved, it is important to think about how you will approach this person or group in terms of seeking information and presenting potential solutions. Taking time to rank the level of influence and support for each stakeholder is critical as you proceed, because it may have a large role in determining whether or not specific problem solutions can be implemented.
Take the time necessary to conduct research that will help you determine possible stakeholder reactions and issues related to potential solutions. Think about the motivation, drivers, and expectations of exchange for each stakeholder, the problem, and the proposed solutions. Finally, consider the role of the stakeholder, including when the stakeholder needs to be involved in the change effort, any stakeholder management activities, and stakeholder deliverables and timelines. If a stakeholder will ultimately end up having a designated role in implementing the solution, the ability to articulate the role, scope, and timeframe will be of utmost importance.
Complete the “Stakeholder Analysis” spreadsheet and submit it to the instructor along with a 500-word summary of your findings. In the summary, discuss the following:
Summarize stakeholder attitudes about the identified problem and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
Summarize stakeholder attitudes or experiences related to previously implemented problem solutions and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
Summarize stakeholder ideas for potential solutions and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
Who are the stakeholders you will seek to act as sponsors to support you in the implementation of a problem solution? Provide specific reasons why these stakeholders are key to implementing a solution.
Who are the stakeholders that will likely be directly affected by solving the problem? Provide specific ways these stakeholders could be directly affected by solving the problem.
Who are the stakeholders who could pose potential roadblocks to solving the problem? Provide specific reasons why these stakeholders could pose potential roadblocks and what those roadblocks could be.

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH WRITING BUSINESS PLANS AND PROPROSALS REQUIRED!!!
This would be for a start up nonprofit organization aimed to help low income families and provide support to the homeless community in Washington DC.
-Research data in WASHINGTON DC (example homeless rates, unemployment rate, single parent household rate, how many families are on government assistance such as TANF, Foodstamps etc, research poverty rates in wards 1-7 in WASHINGTON DC. When researching please be SPECIFIC to make sure you are researching data for the WASHINGTON DC AREA!!!!! The nonprofit will be in the WASHINGTON DC AREA!!!
The plan should address the everyday costs needed to operate the organization, as well as costs of specific programs and activities.
The plan may include details about the need for the organization’s services (a needs assessment), the likelihood that certain funding will be available (a feasibility study), or changes to the organization’s technology or staffing that will be needed in the future. What are your nonprofit’s goals and mission?
Why does it matter? Why have you invested your personal wealth, time, passion, and energy into your nonprofit?
Donors: The people who financially support your nonprofit. Whether these donors range from $5 to $1,000 contributors, they all matter. What makes them give to your nonprofit?

Executive Summary
Your executive summary introduces your nonprofit business plan and an overview of everything inside. This summary convinces readers to turn the page and learn more—it’s where you sell your nonprofit. So borrow ideas from Step 1: Identifying Your Why to drive home the mission and importance of your nonprofit.
While your executive summary is the first document in your nonprofit business plan, it’s best to write it last. You’ll be able to articulate your summary better once you’ve filled out all the other sections.
Nonprofit Description
Explain what your nonprofit does, who it helps, where it’s at, and where you aspire for it to be. This means describing your target audience and making your constituents come to life. You’ll also want to highlight unique opportunities that’ll excite your reader—whether that’s a volunteer, donor, or board member.
Need Analysis
Your need analysis (also known as market analysis) supplies research and data to support your nonprofit. It explains the problem and how your nonprofit provides a solution.
For example, if your nonprofit helps veterans, you might underline statistics concerning: disability, financial problems, unemployment rates, and homelessness. Metrics like this can help readers understand the importance of your nonprofit and the scope of the issues that need resolving.
Products, Programs, and Services
Here’s where you explain how your nonprofit addresses the problems or opportunities presented in the need analysis. Outline what products, services, and programs you provide. Be sure to also detail the pricing and costs (if applicable).
Operational Plan
Your operational plan details the day-to-day operations of your organization. For example, it might describe how you work with partners, suppliers, and volunteers to execute events and fundraisers.
Spotlight the people behind your organization by putting names and descriptions to the faces. Here are a few individuals to consider highlighting in your nonprofit business plan:
Management team: Employees full-time and part-time
Board of directors: Members of your board and their credentials
Volunteers: Nonemployees helping the cause
Donors: People who’ve made very generous donations
Partners: Businesses and organizations you partner with regularly
Marketing Plan
Describe the campaigns, outreach events, and initiatives you coordinate to reach beneficiaries, donors, and volunteers. Here’s where you’ll include all the details about your target audiences.
Your marketing plan includes any of the channels you use for marketing or communication, such as:
Social media
Email
Text
Webinars
Website
Landing pages
Video
Events
Be sure to include channels you currently use and explore methods you’d like to invest in if you had additional staff or funding.
Impact Plan
Nonprofits seek to create lasting change. And your impact plan is where you specify the transformation you’d like your organization to make.
Outline your goals and attach them to numbers (wherever possible). For example, you might want to feed 1,000 struggling families or find housing for 250 immigrants in need.
Also, don’t forget to include the people you’ve helped already. While you might aspire to help more, it helps give perspective to reflect on those your organization has already served.
Financial Plan
Nonprofits need money to operate, but money doesn’t grow on trees. So this is where you’ll plan for raising money (and show donors who want to know how you spend their contributions).
Here’s what to include in your financial plan:
Financial status: Describe your current financial situation and projections. Include all your financial statements: income statement, balance sheet, and cash-flow statement.
Funding sources: List out grants and significant funds you’ve received.
Fundraising plan: Outline how you plan to raise additional funds.
Funding gaps: Explain where you don’t have enough money and how you plan to manage the gap (e.g., fundraise, trim the budget, or forgo).
Spending plan: Detail how you plan to use donations (e.g., services, hiring, and marketing).

Ernest W Cockrell international experience, including his summer vicarship in Hertfordshire, England, and his tenure as rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church and School in Saratoga, California, broadened his perspective. These diverse cultural and spiritual encounters enrich his writing, infusing “Samson’s Shadow” with a multifaceted understanding of human nature. Cockrell’s global outlook and pastoral sensitivity allow him to craft a narrative that resonates with readers from various backgrounds and beliefs.

Submission Feedback
Overall Feedback
Hi Suda, Thanks for submitting the first draft of your synthesis literature review on ergonomics.  Excellent work on selecting recent, high-quality articles during your research.
This assignment requires two drafts, so the comments below provide notes to use as you prepare the final draft:
In the introduction, you may want to add a brief definition of ergonomics after its first mention.  
In Theme I, I’d recommend shortening the second paragraph of Divergences and Additions. (Both repetition and wordiness are concerns in the paragraph.)
You have an excellent start with APA, but a final round of editing is needed for mostly minor errors.  For instance, the references need review for capitalization in the article titles—some are capitalized correctly while others need revision.  You can use the reference entry for Boatca et al. as an example of an article title that is correctly capitalized.
As a final note, I would encourage editing to improve concision in the literature review. As an example, the Overview section of Theme II could be reduced to something like the following: “The literature shows that improving ergonomics can increase productivity, decrease absenteeism rates, and improve job satisfaction. In short, both employee performance and health can be improved with ergonomics.”  This conveys the same idea in around 30 words that the Overview section uses nearly 80 words to do.  Business readers appreciate concisely written documents that use plain language as they are quick to read.
Good work on your first draft, Suda.  It was interesting to see the research you found and especially how you organized it in a meaningful way.  You’re certainly collecting good research to carry forward into the report assignment.  The final draft of the literature review should be turned in on/by July 2.  If questions come up as you finish the literature review, send me a note via IM or email. 
PS. here is her feedback. you can double breakdown some of the paragraph.
