 Then include slides and describe a situation online where you witnessed trolling and flaming. What was the situation? How were the comments handled?

Chain

Operations are composed of many different processes to fulfill customer needs and requirements. The value chain is a higher-level view of those processes from a customer view. In order to meet customer requirements like quality and cycle time, organizations need to identify the value chain, subprocesses and measures needed to meet the customer needs.   

Consider a process from an organization you are familiar with. In 500-750 words, complete the following:

  • Identify the steps in the high-level value chain required to fulfill the customer requirements from beginning to end. 
  • From the high-level value chain steps, identify the operational subprocesses.  
  • Identify those metrics that the organization should monitor at both the value chain level and subprocess level.  
  • Based upon the process you described above, if an organization needs to improve a process within the value chain, how would you analyze the process and metrics to know that the process is not working
  • Explain what steps the organization could take based upon your analysis for value chain improvement.

How will you use the information in your future career development/job search?

My project was exceptionally helpful in clarifying my career path development. Since my project was on accounting certifications, it clarified and solidified that I am on the right track with the accounting certification I am striving to earn. Additionally, there was much more information that was incredibly useful. The specifics of the certifications were not something I was previously aware of, other than the most common certification, which was the CPA. 

week 8 discusion2

 

There were several key takeaways from the video. Focusing on one or all of the four strength domains helps an individual uncover their benchmarks for career success. These domains are as follows: Executing, someone who has the ability to take charge and make things happen. Influencing, those individuals who help to influence others to take charge. Relationship building, those individuals who have the ability to maintain the group structure and help to mold and create a team environment. Strategic thinking comes from those individuals who consume any and all information in order to help the group make informative and solid decisions. The five lives example was interesting and the 360 reach assessment was also intriguing as these resources help us to answer the question, “Tell me about yourself.” 1

My project I choose relates to my career identity by helping explain and identify daily aspects of financial reporting in my job. My project is about EBITDA, defining, comparing and explaining how and why it is used in business valuations. Personally this has become a “hot topic” item within my last two career positions and including my current one today. Understanding EBITDA and comparing it to net income will help me speak more fluently about company ratios where valuations are concerned. I foresee the continual use of EBITDA in my career to come as long as this is the ratio used when it comes to providing information on the financial operations of a company.
