Planning Organizational Assessment Based on Research

Throughout this course, you will prepare assignments on an organization with which you are very familiar. The assignments are designed to prepare you for the Unit VII Final Project in which you will write a culminating report.

This assignment will consist of two parts.

Part I: Identify an organization that you currently work for or may like to work for in the future. Consider the issues or problems that you believe need to be addressed in this organization. You will use this organization throughout the course, so choose a company that you know a lot about or can research. You are encouraged to start gathering your data and research about the organization early in the course to ensure that you have ample time to complete the final project.

Submit a one-page overview of an organization that focuses on the following change areas discussed in the Unit I Lesson.

Below are the change areas and a brief description of each area. You may not use all of the areas depending on the organization and the changes needed.
Organizational history: Taking the time to research where the organization has been will help the consultants to understand where the organization should be in the present and also in the future.
Organizational mission: Any suggested changes should be proposed with the mission in mind to ensure that they support the mission further.
Organization strategy: The entire organization should be considered since the operations of the entire organization need to be addressed in order to keep the strategic plan in place.
Organization structure: The structure will impact how the change process takes place and who is involved.
Organization relationships: The relationship of the organization to the industry, the community, the suppliers, and other stakeholders will be reviewed.
Organizational performance: Organizational performance will be assessed against the best practices of the industry.

Part II: For this portion of the assignment, you will begin to conduct the comprehensive organizational assessment for your chosen organization. Using Table 1.1 (p. 7) in your textbook, prepare a similar table, and submit the organizational assessment for your organization. After completing the table, provide a narrative summary of the results of the assessment and what the next steps should be in resolving the issues/problems found. For this assignment, you only complete the assessment; the discussion of data collection will be coming in later units. Part II should be two pages in length.

Your submission should be a minimum of three pages in length and include at least three scholarly sources. APA Style should be used throughout the paper.

The value of truth in a democratic society.

The final paper is an opportunity for you to reflect on and synthesize what you have learned this semester. Throughout this course you have learned about basic principles of logic and argumentation, philosophical theories of truth and how it is established, and obstacles to critical thinking such as various kinds of biases and errors in reasoning. Despite all the different views held by people in a nation as diverse as the United States, we all have common needs. We all need healthy food, clean air and water, access to healthcare and education, good jobs, safe communities and homes, and opportunities to enjoy culture and the fruits of life.
Somehow we must be able to live together despite our different values and beliefs. Living together in a democratic society requires us to collectively discuss the issues we face and how to deal with them. This means that we need to come to a common understanding of the world we share and the goals we should pursue.

For this paper, write at least five full pages discussing what critical thinking skills and concepts you think are the most important for living together in a democratic society.

Specifically your paper should do the following:

Identify several (7-10) critical thinking skills and concepts that you’ve learned in this course that are necessary to apply when engaging in civic life, and discuss why you think they are important.

Provide examples of how these concepts and skills can be applied to a specific issue facing society (such as climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, or conducting fair elections).

Discuss the most significant takeaways from what you have learned this semester about the value of truth in a democratic society.
