Note: This is a three-part Assignment that is submitted over the course of 3 weeks. This week, you will submit Part 2. You will submit Part 3 in Week 3. Additionally, you will continue using the same document for each submission (renaming it each time you submit). In this weeks submission, you will re-include what you originally submitted for Part 1, you will complete Part 2, and you will leave the placeholder language for Part 3 as is.
For this Assignment, you will continue your role of a consultant who has been brought in to help the leadership of a company struggling to evolve in the current market. You will present a report to the CEO in which you analyze the relationship of creativity and innovation to business practices. For your reference, the scenario that was introduced in Week 1 is included here again.
The companys CEO, Gabriel Marron, has been resistant to change for the past 25 years, and the company recently began losing market share to other competitors. After months of being in denial, the CEO is finally open to considering the idea of implementing innovative approaches to reclaim the companys former position at the top. Gabriel admits that it is simply not in his nature to value innovation. Sticking to tried and true methods has always worked favorably throughout his career, but you are being brought in because that is proving to no longer be the case. In your report, you will draw the connection between creativity, innovation, and business practices.
With those thoughts in mind, construct Part 2 of your report to the CEO with the following section, being sure to incorporate appropriate business examples (as indicated), as well as citations for relevant academic resources from the classroom, the Walden Library, and/or other appropriate scholarly sources to support your work.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Return to your Module 1 Assignment Template to complete Part 2 of your report.
BY DAY 7
Submit Part 2 of your analysis of the role of creativity and innovation in business, in which you address the following in a 3- to 4-page business report (excluding references):
Part 2: Incorporating Innovation
What does it mean to incorporate innovation into business practices (as opposed to innovations made through product or service offerings)?
How can leaders create a work environment that fosters innovation? Be specific, including what factors are most conducive to facilitating innovation and developing an innovation mindset.
To support your assertions, do some research and locate at least two examples of organizations that reflect an innovation mindset and employ (or employed) innovation in their business practices. For each example, do the following:
Describe the organization (including what type of company it is, what sector/industry it is in, etc.).
Provide specific examples of how the organization employs (or employed) innovation in its business practices.

One of the toughest aspects of coaching is dealing with discipline issues. It occurs at all levels (recreation, middle school, high school, college, and professional). Disciplining players is a fine line, to say the least. How a coach disciplines their team can determine the character of the team and possibly success or failure. Describe your philosophy on discipline in relation to coaching athletics. How does discipline play a role in coaching?

Describe your philosophy on discipline in relation to coaching athletics. How does discipline play a role in coaching? Do you have a high number of specific rules or a low number general rules that cover a variety of areas? Do you prefer to punish the entire team for one player’s mistake or do you prefer to discipline the individual player? What areas of behavior, both on and off the field, should be included in team rules? How should a coach handle athletes who break team rules? What should the consequences be for rule violations? Describe both positive and negative approaches to disciplining players and the implications of both. Explain your answers clearly and provide examples where appropriate.

Based on your own experience or research, what are some additional aspects of the role of that profession in regard to assisting victims notmentioned in the initial post? If possible, provide resources to your peers. Are there points in their response about how understanding victimology can help them in the profession they chose that you had not considered? Or are there points they did not consider that you think might be useful to mention?
For the profession chosen, I am choosing the dispatcher role. The dispatcher is the first point of contact for all victims or their families/anyone who has witnessed a victim of a crime or accident. They are the ones who are instructing the caller in what to do until help arrives, hearing the pain in the victim’s/families’ voices, and trying to contact emergency services. Understanding victimology in this role helps dispatchers to be more empathetic and understanding when trying to help over the phone. Being rude and yelling would not be helpful to someone who has been critically injured or experiencing a traumatic event.
Then, respond to two of your peers by addressing the following:
