Sometimes, tools used in business often also benefit society as a whole. One clear example of this is emergency equipment or safety-related items.
Lessons learned in business often inform society and help build a better world in the process, helping real people.
One such example, from the information systems and information technology profession of business, helps us within the supply chain and life. It is known as GIS, geographic information systems.
Ensure you complete Learning Activity 6 before completing this discussion.
Please answer the following:
1. How can GIS help a business with decision-making related to supply chain?
2. How has GIS recently been used to help our full society? Share one real-world example you have recently researched online, or experienced via work or life.

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?

Similar to people, there are also teams, and even the full organization as a whole, work together.
However, things do not always go right the first time. Part of a profession is decorum, proper behavior, and etiquette within the workplace. As part of the culture, it is a glue that can keep a group together, even when times are difficult.
Reflecting on such skills, sometimes termed soft skills, is important. The industry has a growing trend of valuing empathy, in addition to mission accomplishment.
Please answer the following:
1. What human quality do you value most in a coworker?
2. Think of a time you experienced conflict at work. Without sharing private details, break down the steps you used to resolve the negative situation and return it to a positive situation. Share a short summary with the class.
3. How do analysts help organizations? Is there ever a downside to their data?

This week, your team will be asked to present in the Seminar.
This is very similar to business students presenting at a business conference.
Specifically, this would be similar to participating in a poster session.
Take time to review Learning Activity 7 before completing this discussion.
Please answer the following:
1. Take a moment to research a conference (select/find one), business, or academic online. What different levels of presentations did this conference include? Did it include poster sessions?
2. Why are opportunities, such as poster sessions important for professional development?
3. How are presentations conducted within your organization? Have you had the opportunity to present at work within your profession?
