Overview
In this assignment, you will evaluate a current organizational structure and recommend structural changes that can help address the concerns the organization identified regarding collaboration, communication, and autonomy.
Scenario
You work for an organization that has traditionally been very formalized, and managers have had a very broad span of control over direct reports from multiple departments and functions. This worked well in the past; managers were able to oversee a high number of direct reports because there were many rules and regulations dictating how their work should be performed. However, there were downsides. Employee talent was underused, and there wasn’t a strong team culture, as most work was done independently according to standard operating processes.
Recently, the organization has been shifting to less formalized working structures to support more creative, innovative work and provide employees with more autonomy. While employees are happy with the purpose of these new changes, managers are feeling overwhelmed, and employees are feeling under supported. This has impacted function-specific work the most, because in the past, managers didn’t need to understand in-depth, function-specific tasks (such as the technical aspects of graphic design work or the intricacies of project management). Instead, they had the ability to rely on rules, regulations, and standard operating processes. Employees have also noticed a lack of communication around current projects, which has led to a lack of updated information and duplicated work across management teams.
You have been asked to work with the human resources department to recommend a new organizational structure that addresses these identified management and communication concerns.
Prompt
Use the Module Six Assignment Template located in the Guidelines for Submission section to create an updated organizational structure chart for the organization. Then, in a separate Word document, write a brief explanation for your recommended changes and how they will impact both organizational communication and overall team dynamics.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Updated Organizational Structure Chart: Create an updated organizational structure chart that addresses management and communication concerns.
Explanation of Changes: Explain your reasoning for why you made the changes you did to the company’s organizational structure. Include how your changes differ from the original and why you believe they would benefit the organization.
Impact on Organizational Communication: Describe the impact these changes will have on the company’s overall organizational communication.
Impact on Team Communication: Describe the impact these changes will have on the company’s overall team communication and reporting structure.

What to Submit
Submit your completed Assignment Template as a PPT file. Submit your separate, written submission as a 1-2-page Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Use sources from the Soomo Webtext I have attached below. Thank you! 

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

In this assignment, each student is required to write a paper recording your response or reaction to the book, Who Moved My Cheese. The reaction will relate to your personal experiences in the workplace (or in another area of life if you have no work experience).
with this being said I will be adding my resume with my work experience for this research paper.

A business plan should at least address the following points (this is not a compulsory structure, coordination with
the supervisor is needed):
1. Cover page
2. Summary
3. Description of the planned product/the service offer
4. Founding team
5. Market analysis
6. Marketing and sales planning
7. Operations and organization
8. Financial planning
9. Literature
The main part of the business plan contains the market analysis. For this purpose, data 
should be collected from
reliable databases. This part also presents the defined target 
group, from which the marketing and sales planning
results. 
Primary data is collected for this purpose. The choice of methods and the application of 
the methodology
should be explained. The analysis of the primary and secondary research results in the marketing and financial
planning. A description of the company or organization can, but does not have to, be included in this part. At the end,
a conclusion of the 
entire work should be presented. Critically present the process of data collection and the 
business
plan.
The appendix should be used to present information that is too detailed for the main part, but important for its
understanding. This may be the original copy of the survey, large tables, or scanned materials and transcripts of in depth interviews. 
It has to be coordinated with the responsible supervisor whether interviews have to be 
submitted
in paper or the delivery of the audio files is sufficient. For reasons of 
transparency, questionnaires, transcripts and
other information must always be attached, unless the supervisor wishes otherwise
60 pages(+/- 10% more or less is allowed.), 1.5 line spacing, margins 2.  

For this task, you are required to create a business plan for a small to medium size enterprise consisting of 2,000
words (+/- 10%). A suggested structure for the business plan is provided with this task.
In class, students are examining the role and processes of business planning in successful small to medium sized
enterprises. This includes the identification of elements of a business plan and effective strategies to ensure the
success of the business. Students have also watched a Shark Tank experience to understand the pitching process of
new businesses to investors.

I have attached my rough draft. I need for it to be lengthened, adding words, graphs, charts, etc.
I have also attached an example from my professor.
The following are the instructions and guidelines:
Business Proposal
The Business Proposal is the major writing assignment in the course. You are to create and submit a formal proposal that suggests how to change something within an organization. This organization can be large or small, a place of employment now or in the past, or an organization to which the students belong. From past experiences, it is best to use a business with fewer than 200 employees, and one with which you have personal experience. It could be a place where you currently work or a place you have worked or volunteered in the past.
The change can be specific to a unit or can apply to the whole organization; it can relate to how important information is distributed, who has access to important information, how information is accessed, or any other change in practices the students see as having a benefit. The proposal should be directed to the person or committee with the power to authorize the change. However, if you are working within a large organization, and asking for a small organizational change, communicating with a CEO or president may not make the most sense. You need to think about who within the organization might be the best person for the type of change suggested.
For the submission, you are to follow the guidelines for formal proposals available in Chapter 10 of the text. You can review 10.1, 10.4, and 10.6 for more information about specific components for a well-written formal business proposal. o A complete proposal must have all required sections of a formal report excluding the copy of an an RFP and the Authorization. The final draft of the proposal should be 1500 – 2000 words, and include the following necessary formal proposal components:
Letter of transmittal
Executive summary
Title page
Table of contents
List of illustrations
Introduction
Background: Purpose/problem
Proposal: plan, schedule, details
Staffing
Budget
Appendix
Formatting does matter for this assignment, and you are to check the text for details about how to format and draft the different proposal segments. Proposals don’t just have text; graphics and charts are necessary, too. In addition, research is important, and footnotes and references must be included. All content should be concise, clear, and detailed. The proposal should be well-written with appropriate grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
