By this point, you should have your feedback report on your competencies, your organization’s focus, and the fit between the two (based on your responses to the assessments in Weeks 1-3). Your assignment is to use the feedback report to address the questions below. Be sure to read carefully and respond to all required questions below.
Provide a brief general statement summarizing the fit between your own competencies and your company’s focus.
Think about where you want to be in two years: with your firm, or a new firm? A similar position, or a different position (either in the same firm or a new one)? Then describe the most important competency you will need to further develop in order to help you reach this position.
Note: your decision here can be influenced by the fit between yourself and your firm (which would be particularly relevant if you want to stay with your firm), how your competencies compare to the class average for competencies (e.g., if you are already very high on a competency compared to others, it may be hard to further develop), and how your firm’s focus compares to the class average for firm focuses (e.g., if you are looking to move to a more innovative firm but your firm already scores very high on innovativeness compared to the class average, it may be hard to find a more innovative firm than the one you are already in). Where relevant, include this comparative information when describing the competency you seek to develop.
Using the “3E’s” Development Model, create a development plan that outlines how you will seek to further develop the competency you identified in Question 2. In describing this plan, explicitly link it to the development model described in the course lectures. Finally, note that this should be a plan that involves considerable challenge and that is quite different from the work-related experiences you currently have.
Instructions:
Prepare response in a 1 to 1.5 page (single-spaced) MS Word document (no PDFs please). Use 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins.
Do NOT use a title page (Turnitin generates one for you).
Do NOT reproduce the Assignment Question text in your response to lengthen your response.
Submit: to the digital drop box
Due date: Sunday at 11:59 p.m. EST
Points worth: 150
Grading Criteria:
Your ability to integrate relevant course materials in your analysis.
Your sources should be stated explicitly (refer to authors’ names or article titles, video or discussion session content, etc., but no bibliography is needed)
While your opinions may be well-founded, the purpose of the assignment is to assess how well you understand course materials and can integrate them and relate them to your own organizational experiences, so cite course material!
Organization and clarity of your writing and analysis (writing skills, grammar, spelling, organization and flow all matter!)
Your ability to be concise. These analyses should resemble executive summaries versus research papers
Use bullets or tables, as needed and appropriate
Do not plagiarize (see Honor Code and Academic Dishonesty info above). That is, as you use material from your readings or lectures to support your analysis (which you should do), just use your own words to describe the points you want to make
