Introduction:
The organization that I chose is DeVry Inc. Specifically, I chose DeVry’s online student finance department because I am currently employed in this department. I started here as a Student Finance Consultant in July of 2012 and this is my first full time job after college. In my role, we assist student’s enrolling in courses and help plan how to fund their education. This job can be very satisfying yet frustrating at the same time. I feel that it is a great learning environment and overall, employee satisfaction is high. I feel that my

For example, there were 8000 e-mails that were sent out to students that needed to submit documents. Although it was necessary for students to send in these documents, many of them had questions. There was not adequate phone coverage to be able to assist all students who had received an e-mail. Students become frustrated that they have to sit on hold for thirty minutes while waiting for an advisor and once connected to the advisor they may not receive as detailed information as they would prefer. In addition, advisors become frustrated with management that they were not informed of the messages that were relayed to students. “Things happen in organizations because people working individually and in groups make them happen; people make the difference" (Schermerhorn). This can be both positive and negative. The lack of communication happens because people neglect to put in the work to make a difference and improve communication. In addition, the lack of motivation from disgruntled employees causes lack of work as well. However, if these problems were resolved and increase satisfaction among employees it could create ambition for employees to make difference in how they perform their duties as well.
I feel that there are improvements that can be made that can rectify the situation the Student Finance department is currently in. I feel that one of the most important changes needs to be in communication. The way that we

During reconstruction, the meaning of freedom suited many different types of interpretation; the perception of freedom between former slaves and their slaves masters were very contradictory. To begin with, African-Americans had suffered severe abuse over those years of slavery, so to them, the meaning of freedom was basically a hope that in the future, they won’t experience all kind of punishment and exploration that they have been experienced so far. Besides that, formers slaves were demanding equal civil and political rights. In the same way, they valued their freedom by establishing their own schools and churches, reuniting families that were separated under

The course text discusses AS/NZS 4360 approach, which consists of a 5-phase process to manage and control risk. According to the text the risk management process phases are establish context, identify, establish and treat risk while continuously communicating, monitoring and reviewing risk (Cooper, 2005). The premise of risk management is to uncover and understand as much as possible about risks as early in the project as possible. The more one knows about risks the easier it is to make decisions for correct responses. The alternative to risk management is crises management, which in many instances is more costly, and more time consuming. Clements & Gido define a project as “an endeavor to accomplish a specific objective through a unique set of interrelated tasks and the effective utilization of resource “(Gido 4). I had many opportunities to develop a Military Retirement Ceremony, so I decided to approach it as a project risk management plan. At the time I did not know it but we were using the project risk management approach discussed in the text to address the risk associated with the event. The Military Retirement Ceremony project planning began the same as most projects do by determining the objectives. The objectives are described in terms of deliverable, schedule and budget. The sponsor and the customer must agree upon the scope of any project. In this project I worked along side the sponsors.

“Effective communication occurs only if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender intended to transmit. Many of the problems that occur in an organization are: the direct result of people failing to communicate and processes that leads to confusion and can cause good plans to fail” (Clark, 2015).
