Assignment task:
Practicum - Organization Diagnosis
Identify a problem, issue, concern or area of weakness at your work or a selected organization that will be suitable for your performance improvement practicum. The topic should be substantive and allow you to demonstrate your skills in process analysis and performance improvement planning.
First, select an organization, speak to the manager or decision-maker in this organization, explain your performance improvement analysis plan, and obtain approval for you to conduct the analysis in the organization. We will call this person your "sponsor".
Note: If you choose an organization other than your workplace, it is critical that you ensure that you will be able to access the necessary information.
Then define the scope of your analysis (entire organization, one office, one process, etc.). Conduct a review of the selected area so that you understand the relevant policies, procedures, and processes within the organization.
