Assignment:
Step 1-Situation Description (Analyt Evid Based Decis Making)
Analytical tool: Quantitative Cyber Quest, or QCQ. The first step of the QCQ process involves describing the situation to be analyzed. This in turn involves identifying the central aim to be achieved followed by the identification of specific goal variables related to this central aim.
To prepare:
• Think of a potential issue that might need addressing within your workplace or some other issue of interest within a local, state, national, or international public agency, such as reducing carbon monoxide concentration or keeping up with the repairs of school tablets.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a potential issue you have chosen.
Identify a client and a central aim related to that issue.
Discuss 2-3 other main goal variables that might be addressed based on your central aim.
Discuss other background information you think would be helpful in determining your goals.
Include a discussion of how you might frame the question(s) needed by the organization, which will then drive the data requirements.
Discussion: Board Composition Analysis (Brd Gov & Vol Mgmt)
Board members bring knowledge, skills, perspectives, and connections to their board. The assets that are most valued will vary from board to board and change over time as the needs and priorities of the organization changes. A grid showing the current and desired assets of board members can be a useful tool for evaluating the composition of a board and considering the types of individual that would be recruited to fill open board positions.
You will analyze the current composition of the board of directors for the nonprofit organization you have chosen (The NAACP) for your Final Project, or one that you are familiar with, using the Board Matrix Worksheets found on pages 90-91 of the "Nonprofit Board Answer Book: A Practical Guide for Board Members and Chief Executives (3rd Edition)" or using the Board Composition Analysis Template found in this week's Learning Resources.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post Board Matrix Worksheets and provide an analysis of the composition of the board for your selected nonprofit organization (The NAACP).
Explain the size, composition, skills, traits and other key assets important to your organization.
Then identify the strength and weaknesses of the current board composition.
Finally, recommend how this board composition could be changed to improve board performance and organizational effectiveness.
