Part 1 With every effort or action of an individual, a lesson may be learned. For organizations with large groups of individuals, many lessons can be learned as a result every endeavor. Even so, many organizations fail to allow the time or allocate enough resources to critique or analyze things that worked, as well as things that did not. Only if this step is part of the systems approach to organizational learning can key insights be used as leverage to avoid repeating past mistakes. After action analysis (AAA) and reporting was developed in the military in the 50s and 60s, and has long since been used in many industries to learn from previous decisions made and actions taken. The business world has come to realize the usefulness of AAA to improve their processes and thus, create a competitive advantage.

Could this new system view include innovation as well as negative outcomes? Explain. How could AAA best be used to advance partnering concepts?

View the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane. Instructions You have recently started working for a local department store in the Operations Department. You have always had a passion for communication and technology, and at your new store, you quickly realize that their methods of communication and their technological resources are outdated. You have worked retail for many years and over time have realized that there are many gaps and differences in the way that people communicate and the forms of technology that they are comfortable with. This applies to both your customers and your colleagues. Because you feel that this is an area of expertise for you, you approach your supervisor and begin a discussion about communication changes and gaps in communication in conjunction with the technological changes that have happened over the last several decades. You and your supervisor discuss the best ways for your store to understand various communication methods and the gaps that exist in communication among your consumers and colleagues. You volunteer to put together a written summary of broad spectrum changes in technology and the resulting changes in communication methods and gaps in communication. Your supervisor loves this idea. He does ask, however, that the information be presented in the form of a pamphlet or written statement that can be both presented to staff and handed out by Human Resources as a training tool for employee relations. You are encouraged to provide as many examples of changes to communication methods that you can come up with. Also consider many different gaps in communication such as generational differences, differences in socioeconomic status, the region the people live in, interest in technology, setting in which you are communicating in (personal versus professional), etc. After considering these issues, your supervisor would like you to present some ideas as to how your store can bridge communication gaps between colleagues and with your customers. For this written summary, you are to reflect upon and address the following information: Consider various methods of communication, types of technology that can assist in communication, and other factors involving technology that may impact or change communication. Consider several factors that impact access to communication in society. Some possible are socioeconomic status, access to technological resources, generational differences, differences in intellect, etc. How have online environments and technological growth impacted how society communicates on both personal and professional levels? Be sure to provide specific examples of both. How do changes in methods of communication create communication gaps in our society? What are some ways that society can bridge communication gaps that happen as a result of technological growth?

Number 5 Over time, the judicial appointees of Republican presidents have had decidedly more conservative decision-making records on the bench than those of judges selected by Democratic chief executives. What does that statement suggest about judicial independence? Is it evidence that our judicial system has been tainted by politics, or is it proof that the democratic process prevails throughout our political system? Provide examples Number 6 Is increased involvement of interest groups in litigation before the US Supreme Court a sign that the judiciary is weighing in on too many issues of significant, national importance? How do interest groups in litigation affect the rights of individuals in our current society? Provide a brief summary of a case as an example. Be sure to cite sources.
