BC Project and report/Business Project Proposal (For Reference).docx

Daniel Faherty

Project Proposal

 

 

Name of my Organization: Geographic Solutions

Location: Palm Harbor, Florida

Open 5 days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

 

Overview of Situation:

Geographic Solutions is a company that provides jobs listings to site like Indeed and Monster. They also run the database of job listings for WorkNet Pinellas. Their main mission to keep all database information up-to-date. I would like them to also actively help the unemployed get employed. This project will be based on helping the unemployed get employed by using the company’s resources to accurately database job listings for many different employment sites. While this project will be aimed to help the unemployed, it will also be aimed to get better jobs to individuals that are underemployed.

 

The Opportunity:

My plan is to gather all the job openings that are in the state of Florida and database them in reference to their job title, date, description and location. I will collect all of this and create a separate database. I will then send this database to WorkNet Pinellas. I will also create a free guide that list interview tips and techniques, which will be giving to WorkNet Pinellas for anyone that comes in looking for a job. The database will help the agents at WorkNet to actively match jobs in Florida to the unemployed. Once a job is lined up, agents will then train the unemployed individuals on proper interviewing techniques. Upon all of this, the database will be updated daily to make sure job listings are up-to-date with the correct information. I will not be able to do this alone. I will have to partner will the internet researchers at Geographic Solutions to help search for accurate job listings all over the state of Florida. This will require a lot of networking with other businesses to achieve the most accurate listings possible.

 

Audience Analysis:

The main audience will be the unemployed and anyone that is underemployed. The plan is to actively help them by cutting out a step in the job process, finding accurate job listings in their area. I also plan for WorkNet Pinellas to actively prepare these individuals for interviews after applying for job postings through their database. The overall goal is to help people become employed and more confident in their abilities to do so. I will propose this new idea the overview manager of Geographic Solutions and WorkNet Pinellas.

 

Key Stakeholders:

The key stakeholders will by the unemployed, WorkNet Pinellas, Business Recruitment Centers and Geographic Solutions.

Empowering Employment

A business strategy to help the unemployed, and underemployed.

Daniel Faherty

Business Communication Class

Overview

Geographic Solutions is an employment database company that delivers job listings to employment sites such as: Indeed.com and Monster.com.

Their goal is to bring the latest information to the client base to retain accuracy, quality, and efficiency.

So they deliver job listings to the client base of unemployed civilians, but what happens after they apply? What can Geographic Solutions do to empower the interviewee, and create success within the hiring process for their client base?

The Opportunity

The Current Situation

As of right now, Geographic is a database listing company delivering job listings to websites and employment businesses. After they deliver those listings, their job is done. I want to implement key team strategies to go even further and help guarantee success of the unemployed person by keeping reliable database information, creating job success brochures, and working with WorkNet Pinellas to help the client to achieve confidence and resilience.

Florida Unemployment Statistics

The Opportunity

Key Success Factors

In order to guarantee success in this business plan, everyone involved must know their part and perform as directed.

Everyone is assigned a role based on their skills and job title.

Their names and job titles are listed as such.

Who is involved?

I have called on four additional people that are valuable assets to this plan.

Jay M.- Internet Researcher

Jason M.- Internet Researcher Manager

Debbie J.- Overviewing Manager

Mark J. – WorkNet Pinellas Agent

The Opportunity

Key Success Factors

What is everyone’s role?

Jay M. & Jason M. – As internet researchers, these two will collaborate and make sure all database entries of potential job listings are the latest, most accurate descriptions possible. In order to insure success the client needs correct information about the job and it’s requirements.

Debbie J. – As an overview manager, Debbie has extensive knowledge of procedure and all programs used to upload database entries. She will make sure all software runs smoothly for the entry process and supervise all quality of the material put out by the internet researchers.

Mark J. – As a Worknet Pinellas Agent, Mark’s job is crucial to the success of the plan. Not only will Mark use the job listings as an asset to his job, he will look for ways to help the client achieve success of their job hunting endeavors. He will implement one-on-one training with the client with interview tips and a mock interview session to help them be confident and ready for their job interview.

The Opportunity

Strategic Option

The best option to achieve success in my plan would be in the following steps.

Create a team of members: A small close-knit group of members will ensure efficiency and high confidence in their duties.

Implement specific jobs for all members: When everyone knows exactly what their jobs are and does not have to worry about anything else, this creates focus and accuracy.

Create a work plan for those jobs: With a map of exactly how to do their assigned job, this eliminates confusion and questions. This will allow each member to devote more time to their assigned task rather than fall under confusion.

Collaborate with WorkNet: An agreement with Work Net Pinellas must be made to make sure everyone has the same expectations and desires for this project.

Create brochures and informative pamphlets for clients: To make sure Mark is confident in his job we will create pamphlets full of ideas, and tips for success to help Mark train these clients on how to have a successful interview.

Benefits & Risks of Strategic Option

Benefits:

Could decrease the state unemployment rate.

Help people find jobs they are qualified for and deserve.

Reduce the stress of finding quality employment.

Create great morale and confidence in clients.

Help have a greater client turnout base.

Risks:

Could overload current members on duties with their current jobs.

Could have a negative affect on clients by applying pressure on them.

Relationship between WorkNet Pinellas and Geographic Solutions may not be symbiotic.

Call to Action/Final Recommendation

I recommend implementing this proposal on a trial basis and tracking all statistics of the program.

We need to record employment morale, successful employment influenced by the program, amount of additional man hour required to run the program, client reviews and feedback, team member feedback.

I think the period of 1 year is a good trial period for the program to ensure quality, and success.

At the end of the 1 year period, all data should be analyzed by Debbie J. and she shall determine if the program was a success or failure.

The organization provides clients with information concerning factors required for employment. Based on statistics, it is evident that the number of unemployed is much higher compared to other states in America. Research carried out by the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics in cooperation with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, it is clear that the rate of unemployed in Florida is gradually increasing. There are key factors that Geographic Solution needs to consider in order to create efficiency. The key factors to success are the ones that will guarantee success in the business plan. Learning how to solve problems in a business is the main factor that determines how the business will operate. Through proper management and planning, Geographic Solution will influence excellent ways to enhance professional effectiveness among employees and people seeking for employment.

Introduction

Geographic Solutions is an organization that offers jobs listings to site like Monster and Indeed. Since the company was developed, much has been implemented in order to influence job efficiency and development of the company as well. In Palm Harbor, Florida, the population of people who are not employed and under employed is gradually increasing. This paper clearly analyzes how the company management will actively assist the unemployed get employed. In general, the purpose of this report is to assist the unemployed get employed as well as influence growth and development within the organization. Geographic Solution ensures that clients get the latest information on how to retain accuracy, quality, and efficiency. There are specific factors that the overview manager and the entire management of Geographic Solution should consider when it comes to empowering employment. In that case, this paper presents measures and solutions that the management of Geographic Solution ought to consider (Shwom, & Gueldenzoph Synder, 2014).

The Opportunity

There are numerous opportunities at Geographic Solutions that will enhance substantial changes. The management of the company should focus on the current situation of Florida, key factors for change, alternatives and strategic solutions that will influence substantial change. The best way for the management to solve this is to gather all the job openings in Florida and reference them to their job title, date, description and location in order to make it easy for people to find jobs. Creating a free guide that list interview tips and techniques will assist anyone in Florida that is looking for a job. The purpose of the database that would be created will assist unemployed people looking for jobs have an easy time when doing so (Shwom, & Gueldenzoph Synder, 2014).

a. The Current Situation

Currently, Geographic Solution is a database listing organization that delivers job listings to websites and employment businesses. When they deliver the listings, their job is done. However, the need for the organization is to go further and assist guarantee success for the unemployed persons in Florida by keeping reliable database information, creating job success brochures, and working with WorkNet Pinellas to assist customers to attain confidence and resilience. Despite the unemployment rate being high, the management of the company can rely on these strategies so as to enhance progress within the organization (Smith, 2013).

b. Key success factors

There are key factors that the management of the organization should consider in order to attain their goals and objectives. In order to guarantee success within the business, it is important for every individual within the business to be involved in their roles or duties in the work place. The management should consider the skills and job title of an individual so as to solve major issues in the company such as minor errors conducted by employees. Geographic Solutions has prominent people that are valuable assets for the business plan. These are the people that have influenced changes within the organization ever since it was developed (Shwom, & Gueldenzoph Synder, 2014). These people include:

i. Jay M. – internet Researcher

ii. Jason M., - internet Researcher Manager

iii. Dabbie J., - over viewing manager

This will guarantee the organization on suitable factors that will solve issues associated with unemployed and underemployed people in Florida. The opportunities that the company has for its success can only be guaranteed by everyone within the organization. Increasing different employment sites will enable people to have the opportunity to get better jobs that will aim to help the employed get jobs. Through their idea of updating employed from time to time based on employment will reduce the rate of unemployed people in Florida (Smith, 2013).

d. Strategic Solution Option

There are specific analyses that the management should consider in order to make the companies goals and objectives work. For instance, the best strategy for an organization to achieve success is though planning. One of the main objectives to attain success is creating a team of members that will deal with issues that affect the business. The group will ensure efficiency and high confidence in their duties. The company should also implement specific jobs for all their members. This will enable the member to know their exact duties. This will effectively enable them not to find difficulties and challenges in everything their roles by creating focus in whatever role they play. The management should consider creating a work plan for every member in order to enable them to know how to do their assigned jobs. This idea will assist the management to eliminate issues involved in the organization such as confusion and jobs and help the members to devote most of their time in carrying out their specific roles (Smith, 2013).

Some of the major benefits that are involved with strategic opinion include;

Recommendations

It is important for the management of Geographic Solution to implement this proposal on a trial basis and tracking all statistics of the program. The management should record employment and set a suitable time to run the program so that clients cannot find ease while reviewing jobs and feedback from management. For instance, I will recommend a 1 year period of trial basis in to ensure that the program is quality, and success. In this period, all the data ought to be analyzed by the top officials or management. For instance, it will be the responsibility of Debbie to determine if the program is a success or failure (Shwom, & Gueldenzoph Synder, 2014).

PROJECT REPORT

This is a business report rather than an academic paper, so be sure to follow the required format and use appropriate business writing skills (hint: no double spacing, for instance). Your audience for the report is your targeted decision makers who will decide on whether or not to implement your project. So, even though you’re turning the report in for a grade, you’re writing it for a  business purpose and audience. You are expected to evidence the skills learned in this course. Note that this assignment is worth far more points than any other in the course. With most assignment worth 6 – 8 points, 50 points is a large chunk of your grade!

I suggest that you  get started on your report immediately if you haven’t done so yet, as the performance expectation is very high.

PROJECT PRESENTATION

You will need to record in Google Hangout and provide your YouTube link. Recall that you can set this to retain your privacy. Ensure that I can access it to evaluate! This final activity is worth 20 points.

HINT: Successful presenters pose few words on slides, include graphics, and speak rapidly enough to hold attention. Hold length to 10 min tops.

Use the bottom notes sections in the PowerPoint.

Purpose of the Course Project: Solving a business problem for someone who is receptive to your recommendations is an excellent way to improve your professional effectiveness and get ahead. Learning how to identify problems and propose solutions will benefit you now and in the future.

Part 5 of 5: The Final Project Presentation should improve upon your presentation in Week 6 (based on Partners’ group feedback) and present the information in the full paper Final Report in a clear, pleasant way. Be sure to refer to the rules of how to compose and deliver presentations in Ch.10.  You will need to consider how you will deliver and present both the paper report and your final presentation to the key stakeholder contact who may wish to utilize some or all of this report.

Directions for Part 5:

1. Develop your final slide presentation, revising based on your Partners’ Group feedback. Refer to the rules of how to compose and deliver presentations in Ch.10. In particular, note how Figure 10.18 reveals clear slides with large-enough font and limited amounts of text on a slide. Using graphics and photos, along with charts, as relayed in the Presentation Zen materials, will help you effectively convey your message.

Zen principles include:

· Narration with pictures is better than narration alone.

· People learn better when words are presented as narration rather than text. There shouldn’t be any full sentences

· People learn better from narration & graphics , rather than narration, graphics & text.

· People learn better when extraneous visual material is excluded.

Quick Slide Tips:

· Keep it simple

· Avoid Microsoft templates or clip art

· Use high quality graphics, photos

· Use animation sparingly

· Synchronize slide change & speaking

· Use video/audio as appropriate

· Only 1 idea per slide
