Draft a project outline that presents a prospective timeline and targeted customer segment of your project.

 TESLA CHOOSEN COMPANY

Overview

Leaders need input, especially from stakeholders, to move ideas along. Having a unique, insightful product or service is just one step. Project outlines that include careful consideration of a company’s mission, opportunities, and risks can help ideas gain momentum and snowball in significance.

Scenario

Now that you have written a blog post identifying critical elements needed to support the rationale of your project, outlining specifics is key! These specifics will be used in an upcoming elevator pitch you will submit to senior management in Milestone One. Before management will approve exploring the idea for new opportunities and funding, they have key performance indicators (KPIs) you will need to address. Your goal for this assignment is to provide an outline that strongly, yet carefully, presents an argument to move your concept forward.

Prompt

Using MarketLine, Yahoo Finance, and the company’s investor relations webpage, continue your investigation of the company you selected in your Module One blog post. Specifically, look at the company’s profile, financials, and SWOT analysis.

Using speculative strategies, articulate your thoughts. Remember, success may mean revenue to a for-profit business; however, to a non-profit, it may mean a specific outcome, such as donor retention rate, social media engagement, or email open rate.

Draft a project outline that presents a prospective timeline and targeted customer segment of your project. This project outline is a precursor to Milestone One: Elevator Pitch. The KPIs you need to consider and address in your outline are:

• The intended customer: Describe the intended customer or customer profile for the new product or service.
• Opportunities in the market: Explain the opportunities in the market based on your research.
• The financial opportunity: Assess the financial opportunity that the project presents for increasing cash flow and topline revenue.
  • Can it be cash flow positive and profitable? For example, Zappos donates a pair of shoes for every pair of shoes sold. This leads to profit in the long run due to good CSR and company image, but is not immediately profitable.

Your contribution will be evaluated based on the quality of the input.

Guidelines for Submission

Use the Module Two Assignment Template Word Document to submit your project outline as a Word file. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

Assignment Content

1.

Top of Form

Research and select an emerging health care issue. This can include but is not limited to the following:

· Opioid crisis

· Shortages of healthcare professionals

· Medicare or Social Security funding shortfalls

· Cost of healthcare

· A specific disparity in a population group

· Growing rates of chronic health conditions

· Cybersecurity issues

· Healthcare resources for our aging population

· Suicide rates in children and teens

Using the information you’ve learned in the course, discuss how you would design a policy for the health care issue you selected. Remember to take into consideration the various aspects of the policy development cycle and level of implementation (federal, state, or local).

Respond: use 100-200 words to respond to each of the following prompts:

1. Why is this issue important?

1. List one possible policy action (or possible solution) that could help address this issue. Make sure your solution is specific. “Take steps to lower healthcare cost” is not specific. “Mandate pricing transparency for all hospitals” is specific.

1. Include two possible advantages and two possible disadvantages of the policy action.

1. What level of government (federal or state, or possibly local) would primarily be responsible for implementation? Which agency or agencies would likely help implement?

1. How would you propose the policy be evaluated?

Cite at least 2 reputable references (you will likely need more). Reputable references include trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, a textbook, or other sources of similar quality.

Format your responses and references according to APA guidelines.

Do you support efforts to increase awareness of and address implicit bias (e.g., through implicit bias training) within society?

For this exercise, you are asked to complete an Implicit Association Test (IAT) (for educational purposes only – you are not being graded on the outcome of the assessment) and to share your reaction to the test results and some of your thoughts on the concept of implicit bias in general. 

Step 1, taking the test: Go to the Project Implicit (Links to an external site.) website and select “Take A Test”. You will be asked to consent to continue after reading about the study and how your data may be used. After indicating that you wish to proceed, you will be taken to a list of tests you can complete. For this assignment, please select the “Race IAT” (other tests e.g., the “Weapons IAT” and the “Skin-Tone IAT” may be of interest to you but please complete the Race IAT first). Once you have selected the “Race IAT”, follow the provided instructions to complete the test and view your results. The site estimates that the test will take approximately 10 minutes to complete so plan accordingly. When I completed the test, I needed computer keys to respond so it may be best to attempt this from a computer rather than phone.

Step 2, reaction: First, please briefly react to the test and your results (you are not required to share your results, only your reaction). Was the test interesting to complete? Were your findings expected or unexpected? Do you see any value in having other people (e.g., family members, friends, criminal justice professionals, healthcare workers, etc.) complete a test like this? What impact, if any, do you think understanding our implicit biases could have on racial and social justice issues? Do you support efforts to increase awareness of and address implicit bias (e.g., through implicit bias training) within society?

Does this affect the trust between the police and the public? How?

“Police officers frequently engage in deceptive conduct to perform their duties. Officers perform secretly in undercover operations seeking to gain evidence on the
targets of their investigations. While undercover, they may lie about their identity, their past acts, or their plans of criminal activity. Police officers use unmarked cars
and some police agencies have even created fake silhouettes of police cars to deceive motorists into decreasing their speed…But perhaps most interesting, and ethically difficult, is that officers routinely lie to those suspected of committing crimes during interrogations in an attempt to elicit the truth. These acts of manipulation and deception are not only taught and encouraged but also they are lawful and permitted by the courts”. (Alpert & Noble, 2009, p. 242, Lies, True Lies and Conscious Deception)

The above passage is from an article in Module 2. Read the article and respond to the following questions. 

1. Should officers be permitted to deceive the public in order to gather evidence of criminal activity such as posing as a drug user and buying drugs or posing as a prostitute? Isn’t this entrapment? Explain.

2. Is it ethical for officers to lie during an interrogation to attempt to elicit the truth? Could this create any problems or issues? What lies are acceptable? What would not be acceptable? Does this still hold true today?

3. Does this affect the trust between the police and the public? How?

What would be the most ethical course of action the officer could take? Could he also voice his concerns to a higher administrative authority?

Climbing into the passenger side of a patrol car, you position yourself beside your new partner, Bert Thompson. You have been working in the city jail as a detention officer since you graduated from the police academy three weeks ago. It is standard policy for your department to have new officers work inside prior to patrol duty.

“Name’s Bert. Bet you’re glad to get out of jail duty and onto some patrol,” Bert remarks with a big grin.

“Sure am. My name’s Warren,” you reply.

“OK, Warren, let’s go fight crime,” says Bert as he pulls out of the parking lot.

After driving a short distance, Bert breaks the silence.

“Warren, it’s almost eight-thirty and looks like our side of town is pretty slow this morning. How about a cup of coffee?”

“Fine, there’s a coffee shop over there,” you point out.

“No, no, not that place. Prices higher than a cat’s back. I know this doughnut place just up the road,” Bert says.

Bert pulls into a franchised coffee and doughnut shop and tells you to wait in the cruiser and monitor the calls from headquarters.

“How do you like your coffee, Warren?” Bert asks as he steps out of the car.

“Black,” you respond.

You see Bert through the large windows of the doughnut shop joking with one of the waitresses as he orders the coffee. You notice the waitress handing a large bag to Bert and begin to wonder how much coffee he bought.

“What did you do, buy out the whole place?” you ask as Bert climbs back into the cruiser.

“Well, I thought a few doughnuts wouldn’t hurt along with our coffee,” Bert says as he takes coffee cups from the bag.

“How much I owe you for mine?” you ask Bert.

“Not a thing. This was on the house, if you know what I mean,” Bert responds with a grin.

“They told us at the academy we weren’t supposed to take gratuities or anything like that,” you state, trying to remain objective.

“Look Warren, on the salaries we make and the type of work we do, it’s not a gratuity to take an occasional free ride. Most merchants in the community enjoy giving the cops a free meal or a discount now and then—it makes them feel like they can contribute. When we eat lunch today we’ll get that for free, too, or at least at a discount. Restaurant owners like to see cops in their establishments. It makes for good business.”

“Yeah, but what if they want something in return?” you ask.

“Warren, in twelve years of police work I’ve had maybe two or three ask me for a favor. Anyway, they weren’t big things—fixing tickets, and stuff like that,” Bert responds patiently.

Bert’s argument seems pretty convincing. After all, Bert says that everyone in the department does it to some extent, including the chief.

That night, as you prepare to go to your night class at the university, you check your work schedule for the next month and notice that you will be rotating to the 3–11 shift in three weeks. Rotating onto the afternoon-evening shift poses a problem for you. You are working on an associate’s degree at the university and are going to two night classes a week. Rotating to the 3–11 shift means that you will miss two weeks of classes. It is too late in the semester to drop the classes without penalty, so you decide to talk with the instructors concerning your problem. Your first instructor, Dr. Whitaker, was very understanding and provided you with a research paper assignment to make up for the lost time. You had one more instructor to contact.

“Dr. Rowland, I’m sorry but I’ve been switched over to an evening shift and I’ll have to miss the next couple of classes. Is there anything I can do to make up the work that I’ll miss?”

“Warren, your grades have been very good, but you know how I feel about student absenteeism. Unless you can work something out with your supervisor so that you can come to class, I would suggest that you withdraw from the course or face a serious grade reduction,” Dr. Rowland suggested.

You did not want to withdraw because you currently have an A in the course and the semester will be over in six more weeks. You decide to talk with your lieutenant and see if you can get your off-days changed.

“No way, Warren. You know the policy. Unless there’s illness or an emergency, we can’t change the schedule. It would screw up the whole shift,” the lieutenant explains.

A couple of days later you receive a phone call from Dr. Rowland.

“Warren, this is Tim Rowland. Did I wake you up?”

“No, Dr. Rowland, today is my day off. By the way, I guess I’ll try to stick with the class and take my chances. I wasn’t able to get my work sched-ule altered, but I figure I can take a C if I make all As and miss a couple of classes,” you explain.

“Warren, I’m not calling about that but, well, I need a favor. My son got his third speeding ticket in a year yesterday, and I was wondering if there was anything you could do to help.”

“Well, I don’t know, Dr. Rowland. Who gave your son the ticket?” you ask reluctantly.

“An Officer Thompson. Listen, if you can help, I would certainly appreciate it. I believe I could work out your class problem and give you a final grade for the work you have already accomplished. I believe you have an A in the course up to now,” Dr. Rowland adds.

“Officer Thompson” is your partner, Bert. It would be very easy to persuade Bert to fix the ticket and alleviate your problem with the class. By fixing the ticket you would be guaranteed an A for the course. On the other hand, you consider yourself a straight cop and not one to take payoffs. You wonder if it would be corrupt to fix the ticket. It does not really seem like such a big deal. Still, there was no mistaking what the instructor at the academy said.

Respond to the following questions. At least 2 pages of text are required in double-spaced, standard font. 

1. What should Warren do?
2. Fixing the ticket for the teacher’s son seems to be the “easier” solution. Is there a potential downside to “fix the ticket, receive a good grade”?
3. Is there a difference between accepting free coffee and donuts and fixing the ticket?
4. What would be the most ethical course of action the officer could take? Could he also voice his concerns to a higher administrative authority?
