How can you prepare within the community to ensure better outcomes in future crises? 

WINTER STORM DISCUSSION: SCENARIO UPDATE #3 
Saturday, 8 AM: Across the area, ice and snow are beginning to melt. Temperatures have remained in the 40s for the past several days. Utility crews from across the country are working around the clock to restore electricity to the area but there was so much damage. They estimate it could take an additional week or more to fully restore power. Many schools remain closed, and many streets are littered with debris. You are finally able to check on your facility and find serious water damage to your lower level from flooding due to frozen pipes. Your food storage area has flooded, as well as the area where your IT and communications hardware is housed. 
Now that you know the extent of your own damage, consider the widespread damage possible in the community. How long can you operate without your primary facility? What are your next steps? Do you have agreements or other options that will allow you to continue to operate? Can you shift operations to another facility? Are you able to help anyone else out with what you have left to create relief synergies? 
What are the critical services your employees rely upon to come back to work? Are there any steps that you can take now to minimize the impact of a future event like this? How can you prepare within the community to ensure better outcomes in future crises? 
Most notably, what are some of your own individual experiences with weather emergencies in your real-world communities? 

After reading the article, explain in detail what you believe will be both a positive and negative outcome of the pandemic on the world economy.

After reading the article, explain in detail what you believe will be both a positive and negative outcome of the pandemic on the world economy. Your answer does not have to come from the reading materials presented in the course. The article will present a broad overview of post-pandemic predictions. Your task is to describe positive or negative effects on supply chain resiliency, methods identified in the article to create resiliency, and any ethical considerations from it all. Keep in mind that we are looking for four or more complete paragraphs and complete thoughts on the topic identified to complete the assignment.

Critically analyze the potential of evidence-based improvement to mitigate the negative impact of each of the three identified organizational challenges.

Introduction

When considering the improvement of an organizational challenge as the focus and topic of a doctoral capstone project, you’ll need to evaluate whether it has the necessary characteristics and elements for EBP improvement and whether it meets Capella University requirements.

Instructions

Critically analyze each of the identified organizational challenges you identified in Week 3 and compare them with Capella University’s criteria for an approvable doctoral capstone topic and project and with elements needed for the application of EBP improvement. Then, make a case for focusing on one challenge as the best opportunity for EBP improvement in a potential doctoral capstone project.

Requirements

The assignment requirements, outlined below, correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so be sure to address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, note the additional requirements for document format, length, and supporting evidence.

  • Describe the characteristics of a professional doctorate and doctoral capstone project.
    • Compare professional activities and roles for individuals with a DHA or DrPH degree compared to a PhD degree.
    • Delineate the differences and similarities between a DHA or DrPH capstone project and a PhD dissertation.
    • Describe three major characteristics of a doctoral capstone project.
  • Critically analyze the potential of evidence-based improvement to mitigate the negative impact of each of the three identified organizational challenges.
    • Describe the appropriateness of applying the EBP process to mitigate the negative impact of the identified challenges.
    • Summarize the quality of available research evidence to support a potential project focused on mitigating the negative impact of the identified challenges.
    • Describe how the EBP process could facilitate improvements that mitigate the negative impact of the challenges in a short period of time.
  • Determine the extent to which a project focused on mitigating the negative impact of each of the three organizational challenges meets Capella University criteria for a doctoral capstone project.
    • Outline what a doctoral capstone project is and what it is not, according to Capella University criteria for a doctoral capstone project.
    • Describe how the application of existing knowledge to mitigate the negative impact of the challenges aligns with your program and specialization and contributes to your field.
    • Summarize Capella University criteria that would be met by a doctoral capstone project focused on mitigating the negative impact of the challenges.
  • Argue for the potential success and approval of a doctoral capstone project focused on the evidence-based improvement of one challenge the organization is facing.
    • Describe how the evidence-based improvement of one challenge meets professional doctorate, EBP, and university standards and criteria.
  • Write concisely and directly, using active voice.
  • Apply APA style and formatting to scholarly writing.

Additional Requirements

  • Format: Format your paper using APA style. Use the APA Style Paper Template [DOCX]. An APA Style Paper Tutorial [DOCX] is also provided to help you in writing and formatting your paper. Be sure to include:
    • A title page and reference page. An abstract is not required.
    • A running head on all pages.
    • Appropriate section headings.
  • Length: Your paper should be 3–4 pages in length, not including the title page and reference page.
  • Supporting evidence: Cite at least two current and relevant peer-reviewed studies. Provide in-text citations and references in APA format.
  • Proofreading: Proofread your document before you submit it to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your paper.

Portfolio Prompt: Save your paper to your ePortfolio. You’ll need to readily access it and share it with your preceptor and leaders at the site, if needed, to support a topic or use it as a foundation for evaluating a different organizational challenge as the topic for a capstone project.

 Prepare a 3-4-page report in which you recommend a course of action to help the head of HR make an informed decision.

Knowing what employees believe and feel is essential to an organization achieving its mission, goals, and objectives. It is crucial to decision making concerning recruitment, retention, engagement, productivity, and all aspects of the employer–employee relationship. To influence organizational leaders, HR professionals must be sensitive to, and aware of, employee attitudes.

How many people were contacted?

Sampling is an essential element of modern quality management. However, the reason sampling works is that quality managers ensure that the selected sample is representative of the overall population of goods or services being controlled. How do managers assess whether a sample is truly representative? The text provides a series of questions to ask for evaluating the quality of a sample when sampling is carried out in the case of a survey, as follows:
How was the situation defined?
Who was surveyed?
How many people were contacted?
How was the sample taken?
How were the questions worded?
Is there any ambiguity?
For this discussion complete the following:
Find an example on the Internet of a survey that was carried out and corresponding data analysis presented.
Evaluate the degree to which the survey represents the overall population being sampled by answering each of the questions.
When doing so, state, based on question responses, whether you believe the sampling method used in the survey was appropriate or not.
After identifying your selected survey and providing responses to the questions, propose a list of questions that you recommend for evaluating non-survey data samples to ensure that samples taken from an operation (such as test data from assembled products) are representative of the overall population.
