Identify which and how other user groups might play a part in implementing the DTP stages as well (internal, external, experts, etc.)?

/in /by
     Introduction – Provide a brief overview of the firm.  Clearly state the key issue they face directly related to the context of the marketing activity you will focus on.  Provide secondary research information and statistics to support and justify that this is a critical marketing issue for the firm (this may include value, image, ROI, loyalty, changes in trends or behaviours and competitive position, external environmental factors for eg).  This will help to define the scale (how large) and scope (how broadly it may be affecting the wider company ie across other areas of operation outside of marketing, or the industry to which it belongs).  For a large, globally operating company, try to define one strategic business unit (e.g. instead of Apple, look only at iTunes) and country of operation to help narrow down sources of information.
 Do not define Design Thinking, assume the reader understands the basics.Explain why and how applying DTP could be useful to address the marketing issue described above.  Briefly outline what are the broader business implications (ie why are improvements needed and how could solutions create new value for the firm, what would happen if they did nothing)?  Do you foresee any financial, technological or people skills related challenges, which might reduce the capability for the firm to apply DTP?
3. (THIS IS THE MAIN PART).Explain how members of the marketing team inside your firm could implement each of the design thinking process stages (problem definition, empathy, ideation, prototyping and testing) and tools (e.g. depth interviews, empathy maps, journey maps, brainstorming etc) to develop a solution to the problem.  Explain how adopting a design thinking approach could be applied to the scale and scope of the marketing issue described above.

Consider the needs of your defined user – what impact could DTP improvements have on them (pros and cons)?  Identify which and how other user groups might play a part in implementing the DTP stages as well (internal, external, experts, etc.)?

Explain how your DTP suggestions apply to and affect (pros and cons) BOTH online and offline modes of delivery of the marketing activity, to your user.

Remember: you are not trying to define the solution, you are recommending HOW your firm could try to investigate and develop some solutions by using DTP.

You have been given the task of analyzing the frequency response and stability of this system. Begin by considering a proportional control law D(s) = K. Draw a Bode plot of the open-loop system for D(s) = K = 1

In one mode of operation, the autopilot of a jet transport is used to control altitude. For the purpose of designing the altitude portion of the autopilot loop, only the long-period airplane dynamics are important. Assume that the linearized relationship between altitude and elevator angle for the long-period dynamics is
𝐺(𝑠) =
𝐻(𝑠) 𝛿(𝑠)
=
250 𝑠(𝑠 + 5)(𝑠 + 50)
ft/sec deg The autopilot receives from the altimeter an electrical signal proportional to altitude. This signal is compared with a command signal (proportional to the altitude selected by the pilot), and the difference provides an error signal. The error signal is processed through compensation, and the result is used to command the elevator actuators. A block diagram of this system is shown in figure below. You have been given the task of analysing the frequency response and stability of this system. Begin by considering a proportional control law D(s) = K.
1. Draw a Bode plot of the open-loop system for D(s) = K = 1
2. Find the approximate gain and phase margins of this system

Observe how participation is conducted (how the meeting process is used) in addition to identifying key points of policy substance(s) and learning about the policy issues that impact the community

/in /by

Students will attend at least one local government meeting (city, county, or school board). Students should use these meetings to observe how participation is conducted (how the meeting process is used) in addition to identifying key points of policy substance(s) and learning about the policy issues that impact the community. Try to consider the issues being discussed from the perspective
of the public administrator. This paper is to be a critical analysis. Do not assume that any one particular person is right (public administrator, politician, or citizen).

Evaluate what is being said and analyze the behaviors and decisions. When attending the meeting, you should be paying attention to who the public administrators are, how they behave, the decisions they make, interactions with the public, and why the decisions that get made are made.This assignment is worth 200 points. To demonstrate “proof” that you attended the meeting, you are required to take a selfie of yourself watching the meeting. This will be worth 10 points
in the grading rubric.
Example of questions to consider when attending a public meeting include:
• Where was the meeting held? Who was in attendance? What was important about either the location or the attendees? Who were the public administrators?
• What logistical issues (either mentioned during the meeting or thought of on your own) are relevant or
create barriers for the problem/topic being discussed?
• Were members of the public in attendance? If they were and had the opportunity to speak, how was their input received? Why do you think it was received that way?
You can find a meeting to attend by looking at the public calendar for Leon County, City of Tallahassee or the Leon County School Board. Yes, you may attend an equivalent meeting in another city or county. The ONLY acceptable meetings are a regular city commission, county commission or school board meeting. The intent of this assignment was for you to attend this meeting in person, but due to current COVID restrictions, in-person meetings are not being held for most municipalities. For this reason, you may use an online meeting/recording of a previously held meeting.If you have any questions about if you have chosen the right type of meeting, email the instructor. If you write the paper on a meeting that does not fit the requirements, you will receive a 0 for the paper. If the title of the meeting has any words in it such as workshop, hearing, advisory or committee, you are not looking at an appropriate meeting. It must be a regular city commission, county commission or school board/school district meeting. Just because a meeting is listed on a public calendar of meetings does not mean it fits this criteria, so check carefully.
Further instructions and a template will be provided in writing to the class and posted under the assignment in Canvas. You need to use the provided template and questions to guide the writing of your paper. This course uses APA format, which means your paper should have a title page, running head, and page numbers. See the template for further instructions. The grading rubric will also be available under the assignment in Canvas. You should review both before attending your meeting.

What are the most significant reasons for Mega-Project failure and might such failures be avoided? The failure and success of “The National Programme for IT in the National Health System (NHS) (NPfIT) in the UK”

/in /by

You are required to write a Reflective REPORT that addresses the following:

What are the most significant reasons for Mega-Project failure and might such failures be avoided? The failure and success of “The National Programme for IT in the National Health System (NHS) (NPfIT) in the UK”

Notes and guidance:

In the United Kingdom (UK), the National Programme for IT in the National Health System (NHS) (NPfIT) was the largest public sector IT programme ever attempted in the UK, originally budgeted to cost approximately £6 billion over the lifetime of the major contracts. After a history marked by delays, stakeholder opposition and implementation issues, the programme was dismantled by the Conservative Liberal Democrat Government in 2011, almost ten years after Prime Minister Tony Blair initiated it at a seminar in Downing Street in 2002.

Study and use as reference the The National Programme for IT in the NHS Case Study document which has been provided to you.
