Community Inventory and Needs Assessment
When it comes to community risk reduction, taking community inventory can help neighborhoods identify their needs and put themselves in a better position to create a stable environment. As the Compassion Capital Fund National Resource Center (2015) states, “In order to effectively serve a community, it is important to understand the community” (p. 4). The problem is that understanding a community and identifying its needs can difficult, as there are often so many of them to remember. That is why using a strategic approach like the community inventory… Continue Reading...

Needs Assessment
According to the mandatory Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (2015), educators must have a strong sense of mission and values, adhere to educational norms, and be responsive to student needs, including needs for diversified instruction and individual assessment. Yet standardized assessment is often an inevitable part of every educator’s required performance objectives.

needs of the school, the principal responded with great consideration and thoughtfulness. I asked how often needs assessments are conducted by the school and the principal responded that theses assessments are important and thus conducted every quarter using surveys as well as quality control meetings (Principal, personal communication, Jan. 25, 2018). The school uses a data manager to analyze the data and then presents the findings to the school, which are then used to help teachers make adjustments to curriculum where needed. Data is communicated via software that provides teachers and administrators with access to a “dashboard” where targeted areas (interests and needs) are identified and… Continue Reading...

Needs Assessment
To assess the current needs of YouTube one must perform several analyses. The first is organizational analysis. YouTube over the last two years has faced growing concerns from advertising companies regarding the placement of their ads in certain videos. What was called ‘adpocalpyse’ resulted in millions of videos unable to monetize thus leading creators on the platform to lose money (Kain, 2017). The company decided to hire thousands of employees and thus improve the evaluation of content for monetization. By providing employees with mandatory training courses, they can… Continue Reading...

Recruiting Plan
A human resources manager’s recruitment strategy begins with needs assessment; recruiting is about first determining what the organization needs in order to thrive in that department and then to fulfill those needs with human resources (Caran, Barton & Carey, 2015). Recruiting strategies vary considerably depending on the position could involve culling top talent from competitors; in the case of a warehouse manager, recruitment efforts will not necessarily require aggressive strategies because the warehouse manager role and duties are not highly specialized enough to warrant such means (Mathlin & Jarvinen, 2018). Core competencies do include solid communications and managerial… Continue Reading...
What are important considerations for external and internal organizational consultation?
Primary considerations for both external and internal organizational consultants include needs assessments, analysis of structural and environmental threats and opportunities, and considerations of employee engagement, motivation, education, and training. In fact, internal and external organizational consultants often provide the “same portfolio of services,” and yet each will have different considerations to address in their performance assessments and strategies (Phillips, Trotter & Phillips, 2015, p. 1). The consultant ultimately needs to actively listen to their clients’ (or employers’) concerns, rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach to organizational strategy and development.
Consultants, even when they are internal to the organization, do not… Continue Reading...
the words of Walker, Bieber, Richards, and Buckley (2006), an “EHR needs assessment should be completed prior to purchasing the EHR software or making process changes” (p. 9). A budget comes in handy in setting achievable targets and defining priorities so as to ensure that EHRs implementation is smooth and seamless.
Next, we have customization issues. When it comes to the implementation of EHRs, it is important to note that one size does not fit all. Failure to customize EHRs to the special needs and circumstances of an entity could totally interfere with the workflow and thus mess up processes and… Continue Reading...
in information technology. All technical positions will be clearly defined by identifying needs. Needs assessments will help the department determine whether we need more building inspectors and fire code consultants, or whether we need more training technicians. Information technology specialists will help our department retain strong communications connections with law enforcement, hospitals, emergency medical technicians, and other first responders. Also, the information technology will help our own first responders more efficiently respond to fire and other disaster calls, deploying exactly the service personnel and equipment necessary. In a suburban fire department such as this, links with other departments will be crucial. When determining… Continue Reading...
