Below is the project. I attached my draft in the direction I want to go but professor gave some feedback. Can someone revise and add to it to make it follow all the requirements.

Project Two: Knowledge Sharing Report

Worth 20 points, Part B Due in Week 5, Report Due in Week 6

Purpose:

The purpose of this assignment is to work as a team to complete a knowledge sharing report. The project requires you and your team members to identify the purpose of the organization and the knowledge external competitive context of the organization.

As a team, you will also research the current state of knowledge sharing of the identified organization, make recommendations for knowledge-sharing strategies that the organization can use, and discuss how the organization might be improved and better aligned to knowledge-sharing strategies. Focused on the functional areas of business, you will identify technology, human resources, and routines and process elements of the proposed knowledge sharing strategies.

To complete this assignment, you will develop several skills that include teamwork, collaboration, critical thinking (analyzing and synthesizing information to develop and support ideas, reasoning and conclusions), time management, writing skills and APA skills.

Outcomes Met With This Assignment:

• explain the goals of knowledge management and the roles of the knowledge worker and the knowledge manager in an organization;
• describe knowledge management trends, cultural impacts, and communities of practice in order to support organizational success;
• apply collaborative methods for acquiring and sharing knowledge within the organization;
• assess and communicate formal and informal knowledge management implementation approaches to expand knowledge sharing within an organization.

Instructions:

Knowledge sharing in organizations is an inexpensive way for Knowledge Managers to help organizations overcome barriers and become more competitive. In this group project, you will draw on the cumulative knowledge of Knowledge Management, and specifically from the readings on Communities of Practice, to propose effective knowledge sharing strategies.

Members of teams will follow pre-established rules for capture, validation, refreshing, and expiration of content; the least formal might be Facebook. The most formal might be an ongoing, complex, scientific research project. Of course, most K-sharing solutions are in the middle of these extremes.

This assignment is a group project. You will be placed into groups consisting of no more than four students each. Groups will be assigned early, and the expectation is that the groups will work on the various parts of the assignment as relevant content is covered throughout the course. The group will act as a self-directed team, and will therefore determine its own leadership, timetable, and task list, guidelines for communication, goals, and so forth. As an individual, you are expected to participate fully in the project.

You will actively participate in completing the assignment and group members will receive the same group grade. However, free-riders who contribute little will receive a different grade than the group grade at the discretion of the instructor. If you fail to contribute to the project, a zero for the assignment will be assigned.

The Project has a Part A and Part B. You will work in groups.

Groups will be assigned and set up by the Instructor. Each group will select an organization that each student agrees to study and to report upon. All work of the Group is to be conducted in the LEO Study Group workspace.

Part A: Knowledge Sharing Report

The Group will prepare a Report on K-sharing strategies for a selected organization. The strategies recommended by the group should be consistent with the type and attributes of the knowledge to be shared, a full understanding of communities of practice, and the purpose of the K-sharing strategy.

A group- selected leader will edit the group’s final report incorporating appropriate suggestions from Part B. Each member will post the assignment to their individual assignment folder.

Required Elements to include in the Knowledge Sharing Report):

• Each team will create a group name.
• Clearly designate the group leader on the paper;
• Identify the purpose of the organization
• Identify and discuss the knowledge external competitive context of the organization
• Explain the current state of knowledge-sharing in the organization
• Recommend knowledge-sharing strategies for the organization
• Discuss how the organization might be improved and better aligned to knowledge-sharing approaches
• Identify and explain how technology, human resources and organizational routines and process elements all proposed knowledge-sharing strategies.

Part B: Knowledge Sharing Discussion

Each group leader will post a draft of the group’s Part A Knowledge Sharing Report as a topic in the Week 5 Learning Activity #1.

The purpose of the Knowledge Sharing Discussion is to learn from one another. Peers can compare and contrast reports/strategies and make suggestions. Class members will be expected to comment constructively on the content of each group’s report as the participation grade for Week 6. Note: All learning group members will comment constructively on at least two other reports in part B.

Discussions in Week 5 will focus on insights from the each group’s report. Comments include how industries benefit from different K-sharing strategies. Use literature and course readings to support your report strategies and also to support peer comments.

After engaging in Week 5 peer evaluation, your group will work together to make changes as needed.

Proofread the paper for spelling and grammatical issues, and third person writing.

• Read the paper aloud as a first measure;
• Use the spell and grammar check in Word as a second measure;
• Have someone who has excellent English skills to proof the paper;
• Consider submitting the paper to the Effective Writing Center (EWC). The EWC will provide 4-6 areas that may need improvement.

How to Set Up the Report

Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced, 12-point font. The report will be between 5-7 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page. You are expected to write clearly and concisely.

Use a report format using How to Write a Report. Consider making an outline to ensure the correct headings are in place and to help you organize the paper.

• Title page with the title, your name, course number and name; date, and the instructor’s name;
• Overview
• Background
• Discussion
• Conclusion

NEED 1-2 paragraph responses, with sources for these 2 discussion posts

1. The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) is the third largest state prison system in the country with a budget of $2.4 billion; it is also the largest state agency in Florida with over 24,000 authorized full time employees (FDC, n.d.). In 2018 an update strategic plan for 2018 to 2022 was published, which outlines the vision for the agency, its values and its mission (FDC, n.d.). The FDC Strategic Plan is based on input from SWOT workshops. After leadership meetings evaluating the SWOT results four goals for the organization solidified: talent development, communications, inmate/offender programs, and environment with their associated objectives (FDC, n.d.).

The 2018-2022 plan does not provide for any implementation strategies or measurements at this time. Not having developed an implementation plan with specific assignments of responsibilities to particular roles, in addition to providing benchmarks and timeframes for measurable result, as suggested by the Bryson Strategic Model (Young, 2003), is a significant impediment to a successful strategic plan. Without measurable results it is impossible to hold management accountable and evaluate whether the organization runs efficiently and effectively.

This leads to the second impediment of a successful strategic plan, namely preventing or not allowing an increase in managerial authority (Moynihan, 2006). This is a cultural issue within the FDC. All decisions are historically made by a centralized administration. Every district or facility is expected to run in the same way without taking into consideration any local differences. For example, one facility may need to spend more money on health care due to their high number of elderly and chronically ill inmates, whereas another facility has increased security costs due to significant gang activity. Without above mentioned performance information it is difficult to follow MFR strategies.

In order to mitigate the two flaws in the current strategic plan, the goals need to be made measurable. At the same time, regions need to be given some autonomy to develop their own strategies, budgets and goals, all within the FDC framework. It is necessary to change the culture within the organization and encourage accountability and mission focus.

An external factor impeding the development of a successful strategic plan is the fact that spending money on the department of correction is highly unpopular among citizens. As described in last week’s discussion, the FDC operates under several federal, state and constitutional mandates; however in the political realm of funds allocation the amount budgeted for FDC operations is often considered too high. This means that a well thought out budget needs to be re-arranged as the budgeted amount has not been approved. In order to solicit support for the FDC mission it is important to educate the public and politicians, even the governor, on the goals, values and benefits of sufficient spending. While, for example, many people consider it unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer money to treat inmates with HCV, education has to focus on the fact that this is a treatment mandated by a court decision and therefore has to be provided to eligible inmates, and at the same time a beneficial public health measure.

Overall, the current FDC strategic plan is incomplete and flawed. It needs to be revised and updated.

2. The Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS) provides services to adults and children with disabilities. ADRS uses strategic planning to ensure that the people they support are benefiting from their services. According to ADRS (2017), the organization received 81% of federal funding and 17% from the state in 2017, so it is important that they have an adequate strategic financial system so that they can continue receiving funding. It is important to include the financial administrators in the strategic planning process (Casey & Seay, 2010). Financial administrators possess a certain level of skill that can help monitor if the organization is in compliance.

Internal and external factors can have an effect on the organization’s capacity to achieve financial empowerment. Strategic planning is used to “make sense of an organization’s purposes, resources, actions, and ends” (Young, 2003). Public organizations must deal with both external and internal factors. The organization must identify its strengths and weaknesses as it relates to its resources, funding sources, and performance (Young, 2003). The organization must determine if the resources are adequate enough to achieve the mission.

The most recent online plan of ADRS is from 2017. It states that ADRS will “acquire maximum resources” and “evaluate the effective and efficient use” of their resources (Alabama Department of Rehabilitation, 2017). One possible internal factor is if there were no collaboration among departments. If the financial administrators are not included the plan will not effectively address the organization’s financial needs. This can be addressed by including representatives from each department. The second internal factor is if the organization did not make use of technology advancements. Technology is very important when working with people with disabilities. This can be addressed by getting technology budget requests approved (Casey & Seay, 2010). An external factor could be if the organization did not have the legislative support for a new service they wanted to add, and it was denied due to limited resources. This issue could be addressed by partnering with other organizations to cut down on the cost of the new service.

The first step of the evidence-based practice process is to evaluate a nursing practice environment to identify a nursing problem in the clinical area. When a nursing problem is discovered, the nurse researcher develops a clinical guiding question to address that nursing practice problem.

For this assignment, you will create a clinical guiding question know as a PICOT question. The PICOT question must be relevant to a nursing practice problem. To support your PICOT question, identify six supporting peer-revised research articles, as indicated below. The PICOT question and six peer-reviewed research articles you choose will be utilized for subsequent assignments.

Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete this assignment.

1. Select a nursing practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research. Start with the patient population and identify a clinical problem or issue that arises from the patient population. In 200–250 words, provide a summary of the clinical issue.
2. Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT question in your selected nursing practice problem area of interest. The PICOT question should be applicable to your proposed capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
3. The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project.
4. Conduct a literature search to locate six research articles focused on your selected nursing practice problem of interest. This literature search should include three quantitative and three qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your nursing practice problem.

Note: To assist in your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Search for diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used in the articles the search produced, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods. Systematic Reviews, Literature Reviews, and Metanalysis articles are good resources and provide a strong level of evidence but are not considered primary research articles. Therefore, they should not be included in this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
