Creating & Designing A Professional Flyer
Internal Factor Evaluation Internal-External Matrix
Scenario: You are the Director of Strategic Planning for a large hospital. In three weeks, the senior leadership team will embark on its annual strategic planning cycle. The CEO has decided that the team needs a “refresher course” on two important topics: Internal Factor Evaluation and Internal-External Matrix. Therefore, she has asked you to develop a one-page flyer that compares each in a side-by-side format and invites the team to the course. The flyer should briefly describe each tool, and bullet the following items: Application of the tool, strengths of the tools, limitations of the tools, and challenges an organization may face in using the tools.
The flyer should be well-written and meet the following requirements:
1 page in length (excluding title and reference pages),
Formatted according to APA 7 guidelines. Make sure to cite pictures appropriately, and
In an appendix, include at least three current references from peer-reviewed articles.

Galapagos Finches
This lab activity is due at the end of module 2. We are going to explore natural selection and evolution in the Galapagos finches using actual data collected by Peter and Rosemary Grant. The website for the laboratory is: http://bguile.northwestern.edu/. You are going to use this website to develop a presentation that explains why the finch population declined and what allowed some of the individuals to survive. This website will be your primary source – please do not use other resources as this is the actual data collected from scientists. You can use other sources for pictures but use this website for your data.
Using the Galapagos finches website you are going to develop a presentation (using powerpoint, word, or some free equivalent such as openoffice.org or google docs/drive). The assignment is found below:
Introduction: In the 1970s, scientists were studying a group of ground finches in the Galapagos Islands when they witnessed a major decline in the population. These scientists became interested in why the birds were dying and why certain birds managed to survive. This computer program (The Galapagos Finches) allows you to explore the actual data that was collected by the researchers including environmental data, predator populations, and finch populations.
Your mission: Your mission is to answer two questions:
1. What caused the decline of the finch population?
2. What allowed some finches to survive?
Assessment: You will prepare a PowerPoint (or other software) presentation to address the above two questions.
You need to include the following in your presentation:
1. Your explanations/hypotheses in regards to the two major questions.
2. Supporting data from the software program (graphs, charts, etc.)
3. At least two alternative explanations/hypotheses with supporting data.
In science and in other areas of life you cannot simply make any claim you want you need to thoroughly justify your claim with evidence.
Your work will be judged based on several criteria:
Does your explanation follow a logical sequence?
Are all claims justified with evidence?
Have you addressed alternative explanations?
Is data accurately interpreted?
POWERPOINT SETUP: This is a basic set up and represents the bare minimum (more slides are necessary to earn full credit). A powerpoint with only 8 slides will not earn full credit – for your supporting data I would include around 4 slides for each hypothesis.
Slides:
1. What is the problem/issue?
2. Background on the finches
3. Hypothesis why the population declined
4. Data to support hypothesis (graphs, charts, etc. from the program)
5. Hypothesis why some survived
6. Data to support hypothesis, (graphs, charts, etc. from the program)
7. Alternative hypotheses (two) with explanations
8. Conclusion

orgnizational challenge
Final Paper
This paper will be an application of the leadership practice concepts learned throughout your degree program to a real-world situation. In an eight- to ten-page paper, discuss one significant organizational challenge within your organization or an organization you have researched. How did the leadership of the organization address the challenge? Could it have been done more effectively? How would you recommend future leaders strategically plan to avoid encountering a similar challenge within their own organizations? Provide suggestions for overcoming the challenge based on your own research and concepts presented in your degree program and grounded in leadership theory. Some challenges to consider would be (but are not limited to): an ethical challenge, a challenge occurring because of changes in the economy, a globalization challenge, or a challenge of organizational culture. Please request instructor approval of the challenge you would like to use as your focus before beginning your paper.
The Final Paper should, at minimum, include:
A description of the organization and its primary stakeholders. Include the vision and mission statement if they are available to the public, and the code of ethics if the company has one (if it is long, an excerpt or description is an acceptable alternative).
A detailed analysis of one challenge facing the leadership of the organization.
A strategy for overcoming the challenge based on outside research, the textbook, and concepts discussed during your degree studies.

What are your most common triggers (what makes you stray off course)?
In the last fifty years, the American diet has changed substantially and as such the rates of obesity have risen dramatically. As nurses, we will counsel patients on diet, and often also work to educate them on ways to help lower their weight as well. Often many of us see patients return time after time with conditions that result from poor eating habits.
How do you aim to educate your patient regarding healthy eating habits (do you use handouts, videos)?
What resources do you have at your facility for those patients who either struggle with chronic conditions or are resistant to changing their eating habits?
As nurses, and busy students, we do not often have times to care for ourselves, how do you best try to stay on track with your own eating habits?
What are your most common triggers (what makes you stray off course)?
In addition, chapter ten covers the endocrine system and reviews the multiple organs and systems that regulate growth, development, and often weight. There are countless OTC options, several RX options, and surgical approaches to attempt to improve or cure a person’s weight problem or related comorbidities.
There are currently three RX options for long-term weight loss on the market (Qsymia, Saxenda, or Contrave). After reviewing the mechanism of action of each medication, which do you think would have the best mechanism of action for long-term success, and why?

Last week I graduated with a bachelors degree in Biomedical
Engineering after six years of school and was very close by 0.02 to sum magna
cum laud. I am so proud of myself for graduating for the third time as a first-generation
college student in my family. Congratulation
class of 2021, we did it!!We are the most resilient class in the history, we
made it through rough years of the pandemic that has changed the world and
impacted many people negatively. In 2010 I graduated from high school and was
aiming to do a career or anything that is related to the medical field. I was
so fascinated about the field and could not see myself doing nothing besides
that. Unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to have a chance to pursue what I want,
and I thought there was no way for me to achieve that after applying to
multiple schools that had either rejected me or they had a rough selection
process that was not fair to everyone. Therefore, I decided to go to a
community college that had accepted me to pursue a different major from what I
dreamed of and wanted to pursue. I did not do that well because it was not what
I wanted. I had a hard time adapting to the school nonetheless I still
graduated with a standing GPA. After that I took a break from school because I
was so depressed but one day suddenly everything starts to change. I moved from
my city to another city to pursue higher education in something that I thought
it could be a good career since I could not get into my dream schools. But I
was ones again disappointed because the new major did not fulfill my expectation
and I figured out that I was wasting time. But honestly moving from a place to
another place opened my eyes and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I learned a
lot about myself that I did not know before. I registered myself in an English
center to improve my English. I learned just the basic words and phrases
because of lack of practice and the short duration of the program. After a
while I started thinking about looking into finishing my education out of my
country. It was about two months when I registered at the English center, one
of my friends who is also owns a travel agency applied on behalf of me by
mistake to many schools in different countries and I got accepted to another English
center in USA and the process really did not take longer to get my visa. At that
time, something had wake up in me like I know or at least my intuition that I
would have a chance to achieve my dreams. Moving from another country to
another was not easy for me as for many other immigrants due to many obstacles/barriers.
I took a year of intensive English classes and preparation for the TOEL test
that allowed me to enter to school. After passing the exam, I was accepted by
many schools of my choice and one of them was BMCC -CUNY to pursue a major in engineering
which I chose as my next stop. I am grateful and thankful to everyone at this wonderful
community college that has helped me in many ways. During my time at BMCC I had
achieved many things that shocked me myself that I have never thought it would
be possible. I was so involved in on campus activities such as science research,
tutoring, clubs, peer mentoring or outside of the campus as volunteering at the
hospitals, churches and with my community. I was selected from many candidates to
present my research project at Harvard University which I thought I would not
have a chance even to just visit it. Additionally,
I was selected to be one of many scholarships recipients that helped partially with
my tuition. I am so thankful to my parents who helped to pay the rest of the
tuitions even it was just temporary because my father got retired and his
retirement income is not enough to support six children. I had done many jobs
to continue paying for my education from a store cleaner, cashier, cooking at
restaurants, serving food, tutoring, mentoring, research assistant, supplemental
instructor, teaching assistant and so on. I had never missed school or missed
any of my assignments. I graduated from BMCC with a perfect GPA and transferred
to the City College of New York to pursue a bachelors degree in Biomedical Engineering
which is strongly related to what I wanted to study which is a combination of many
fields with focus on medicine, biology, and engineering concepts. Honestly, it
is one of the best majors that I have done this far even though it was
extremely challenging. I spent many nights working on the assignments till the
morning which were challenging yet rewarding. I am so thankful to my classmates
who were in touch during these nights trying to help one another or keep one another
motivated till we got these assignments done before the due date, to the
selfless people that were there me along the way especially my professors,
mentors for all of their support. Besides attending CCNY as a full-time student
I was still be involved at BMCC as a teaching assistant for chemistry with my
mentor, professor, friend who always kept me accountable and has always recommend
me for many opportunities. Moreover, I had tutored/taught many students
privately many subjects such as math, chemistry, physics, or anything else that
I am good at or feel confident teaching including the children of the house
owner where I live while taking classes. I had accomplished may achievement at
CCNY such as being a member of many honors societies, research, team projects
and I developed many skills that will help me in my future endeavors. I know I
might have made my story too long, but I just want to remind myself and everyone
out there who gave up on their dreams at certain stages of their lives. I have
been always fascinated about Nelson Mandela quote saying It always seems
impossible until it is done which is in fact accurate. Everything at the beginning
seems impossible but with resilience, self-motivation and hope will be achieved.
My advice to all the students out there struggling to achieve what they want, please
do not be harsh on yourself, dont give up on your dreams, everything will happen
in a timely manner at the right time when it seems to be impossible. You should
always try to be better than yesterday and do not let the fear of striking out
stop you from building yourself. I am excited to explore what the future has to
offer.
