Describe what can limit or destroy innovation in an organization.

For this assignment, create a PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation to present to your client that includes the following:
After reading the text and watching the videos, describe at least three examples of people, practices, and approaches that serve as catalysts for innovation (the book describes people as the catalysts, but for this assignment, you should list anything you find in the readings that spark and encourage innovation).
Then describe what can limit or destroy innovation in an organization. Be sure to cite from where you find your ideas, and make sure the text is one of your sources. Note that destroyers (not disrupters) or inhibitors keep innovation from happening in an organization. List three limiters/destroyers and briefly explain each.
Create a plan for how your client can promote innovation while addressing those behaviors, policies, and practices that destroy innovation. Add the plan to your presentation.
Finally, briefly describe disruptive innovation and provide an example. Then, think of a disruptive innovation for your client and describe it in your presentation.
Your last slide should include a list of references including any course materials you used.

Discuss how financial news media provides real-time financial market reporting.

Discuss how financial news media provides real-time financial market reporting. They often produce stock-market news feeds for traders. These news feeds include a stock chart. The stock chart may include different filters that allow you to see how the
stock is performing today or has performed over one or more years.
Many factors can affect pricing. Those factors can’t be controlled or accurately predicted. The approaches used to value stocks (determine what the stock is truly worth) are usually theoretical. You should consider what drives stock prices and why.
For this discussion, first go to Mergent Online. Find the pricing chart under the Company Details tab, and then click Pricing Summary for your selected company. This is the company you have selected for your Project Two assignment. Filter the time period to one year.
In your initial post, address the following:
Discuss how the stock for your company is trending. Explain why the stock is in either an uptrend or downtrend.
Convince your peers either to invest in your chosen company or not invest in the company. Explain your reason why.
In your response posts to at least two peers, discuss the following:
Do you agree with your peer’s argument to either invest or not invest in their company? Explain why or why not. Make sure to include information not previously shared by your peer.
To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric.

Explain what you learned and how you will apply this learning to future social work practice.

Ray’s case has provided you with direct observation of a client’s history and life experiences. In the absence of this direct observation, social workers turn to assessment and interview techniques to gather essential facts about a client’s life span. Interviewing is an important social work skill—and one that requires more than simply reading a set of prescribed questions. A social worker must also demonstrate professional communication, both verbally and nonverbally, ask appropriate follow-up questions, and take notes at the same time.
For this Assignment, you practice interviewing an older adult about life events, experiences, and feelings that have shaped them. You then transform your interview notes into a narrative—that is, a life story—of the individual ­you interviewed. You interweave within this narrative an analysis of the life story by integrating person and the environment concepts and theories drawn from HBSE I and II.
To Prepare:
If you have not already done so, interview an older adult (age 65 or older) about their life story, using the Life Span Interview document in the Learning Resources. Take notes as you conduct the interview.
Review your notes and begin to interpret the older adult’s life story through the lens of human behavior and the social environment.
By Day 7
Submit a 3- to 5-page paper in which you provide a narrative analysis of the Life Span Interview you completed. The paper should:
Provide a chronological history of the individual’s major life experiences.
Identify specific biological, psychological, and sociological influences that shaped the individual’s experience.
Analyze the individual’s experiences by applying theory and concepts learned throughout both HBSE courses.
Be sure to include the ways in which power, privilege, and oppression shaped their experience (e.g., race and ethnicity, gender, religion, ability, sexual orientation, etc.).
Provide your reflection of the experience, both in interviewing the individual and analyzing their narrative.
Explain what you learned and how you will apply this learning to future social work practice.

What metrics will help your client know that they are solving their customers’ problems?

See the Lean Canvas described on page 32 in your Lean Analytics book. Please read all the information about the Lean Canvas that is included in Chapter 3 in order to better understand the intent of the tool. Two additional readings were provided in the readings list.
For this assignment, we are using the Lean Canvas framework to lay out a plan for an innovation for the client you picked the first week of class. Start by listing the problems that your client’s customers have. The solutions box should include your innovation that addresses those problems, then the rest of the Lean Canvas fill in the details related to getting that innovation launched.
You do not need to re-create the template using the blocks. You can create your Lean Canvas in a Word document for this assignment. In fact, writing out your Lean Canvas in a Word document would be better since your responses should be at least a couple of sentences each, not just a few words. Be sure to either number or use bullet points for each of the Lean Canvas areas.
Finally, complete a 250-word reflection essay on using Lean Canvas. Was it easy to use? Would you change anything? How can it be used in conjunction with Design Thinking? However, if you mention that the order of filling out the lean canvas was unclear, be sure you covered all the lean canvas readings in the module.
IMPORTANT:
The “Problems” section of the lean canvas is not for you to list your client’s problems. The problems are from your client’s customers’ perspectives. What problems can your client solve for their customers?
Remember to add a section at the end with your Key Metrics. What metrics will help your client know that they are solving their customers’ problems?
This is the customer i choose.

What does it tell you about the effectiveness of the context/perspective of the interactivity within of your model?

GOAL: Build on your work with your business model canvas by discussing the patterns, the design, and the overall business strategy that it illustrates.

Introduction: Using the week 5 Learning Material in the Content area (coupled with the other resources of the course), examine and discuss the observable patterns, designs, and strategies seen in your business model. You should also integrate metaphors (Morgan’s) and framing (Bolman & Deal) into the discussion of your organization/business. This paper will serve as an investigative tool to inform you further about your business model so that you will be prepared to comprehensively diagnose/assess your model and propose recommendations in your final project for the course. You could say that this week’s work lays the groundwork for moving into the substantive diagnosis and assessment expected in your final paper. You may also benefit from conducting an Internet search of the Business Model Canvas to become comfortable with how it works, particularly in the investigation of patterns, design, and strategy. There are also various YouTube-type videos on the web that demonstrate the use of the canvas for this phase of your work with your canvas.

Instructions: Write a 600-750 word paper that presents your conclusions about the pattern(s), design(s), and overall business strategy depicted by your canvas. Metaphoric and framing applications should also be discussed. The paper should be written in third person and is not reflective (first person not acceptable). A title page and references page with a minimum of three sources is required (no abstract needed).

IMPORTANT NOTE: One of the common errors that students make in the writing of this paper is to limit the discussion of the “frames” (Bolman & Deal) and “metaphors (Morgan). Do not merely mention these items, but discuss the implications of them. What “frame” best depicts your organization and why? What does it tell you about the effectiveness of the context/perspective of the interactivity within of your model? Make the same sort of consideration in relation to the most appropriate metaphor that describes the functionality of your organization/business. Look for the “so what” in your consideration of pattern, design, and strategy. This is where the consideration and reflection based on your model—with added insight via the frames and metaphors—provides you a substantive understanding of the implications of the pattern, design, and strategy. Consideration of change, or confirmation of direction—will be revealed in this process.
