Design
Think over the prior learning activities, reading, and other learning opportunities you have experienced from the first half of the term. Notice it has a layered approach in both methods and learning?
This is not a mistake; humans learn better with a pattern and iteration. You take something in as observation, reflect, practice, and improve. At some point, you are evaluated, either by academics or, more importantly, by the tests given via both business and life.
Whether a product, service, or from a different perspective, the design process is similar with its own layered approach, patterns, and iterations.
Please answer the following:
1. Have you ever designed something or had an idea to improve the design of something (product, service, system, or process)?
2. When was the last time your organization considered the design of something? Please take time to share this real-world experience with the class in your narrative.
3. What connections do you see with design, in general, with design within the context of the SCA model?
Journal
During this course, you will complete a journal each week.
Each week you will work on one aspect that will help you prepare for the course and reflect. This journal will provide an opportunity to capture new ideas from knowledge gained and record your thoughts throughout the course. This will also give you an opportunity to record questions you may wish to research further in preparation for other assigned work. Please remember that copying and pasting your own notes without revising is a form of self-plagiarism. After reading your textbook, you should reflect away from the text and then write fully in your own words, integrating course concepts with your own real-world experiences to demonstrate university-level knowledge.
Use three headers total, one per main prompt below. Do not list the questions; use headers to properly organize your work. A header is a short one-, two-, or three-word statement that summarizes the intent of the paragraph below it, organizing your original narrative.
Write one quality paragraph per header, addressing your reflection, based on the following question prompts:
1. What was the most interesting thing you learned this week as you explored the course concepts and activities?
2. What one thing do you plan to research further over the next week? What motivates this decision? How will you structure your further online or Library research to effectively learn what you want to learn and then apply these concepts in academics, life, or business?
3. What concept do you plan to readily apply at work in the next 2 weeks? If you are not ready, how can you still leverage these concepts via a discussion with a coworker, sharing what you have learned and plan to accomplish? What key results do you foresee with this application at work regarding your own organization’s supply chain?

Execution
As businesses start to execute in SCA knowledge, things tend to get difficult.
Why is that? Well, often, you have to make decisions with imperfect information. Businesses do not have the luxury of only operating once 100% of the data has been collected.
Please answer the following:
1. What can senior leaders do to help ensure success for a SCA effort at work?
2. How would you advocate for increased resources if you were in charge of a project focused on SCA at work?
3. What ethical considerations does this scenario bring to your mind, as you reflect on this discussion this week?
