The milestone assignments in this course, including this one (Introduction), are to help you prepare for the final executive summary presentation. In the executive summary, you will present a proposal for addressing or improving a quality patient indicator within a healthcare organization. The executive summary presentation includes an introduction, evidence-based, peer-reviewed support, an implementation plan, and considerations of organizational and leadership roles. The Introduction sets the stage for your proposal, briefly laying out for the reader (or the healthcare executive) the importance of the issue at hand. As this is a scholarly endeavor, you must use at least two evidence-based sources in this opening or introduction. All APA requirements must be met. Feedback that is provided by the faculty in this and future milestones is to be incorporated into the final project assignment. Prompt: In your milestone, make sure to address the following topics: 1. Organization: Analyze the organization to determine the key characteristics (including organizational values, if applicable) important for consideration when developing plans for change and implementation of quality indicator proposals. 2. Improvement Opportunity: What is the issue(s) involving patient safety and financial considerations within the organization that needs to be addressed? Explain the connection between patient safety and financial state of the organization in terms of opportunity presented. 3. Purpose: Articulate the overall purpose of your proposal/proposed initiative for improving quality of care within your organization. In other words, what is your intended initiative for addressing the issue(s)/improvement opportunity identified? 4. Proposal Initiative: Detail the initiative you are proposing in terms of its application to your organization. In other words, what is it that you are proposing, and why is it relevant for your organization? 5. Leadership: Articulate the role leadership plays in the current situation/environment that needs to be addressed. In other words, in presenting your proposal to leadership, you will need to articulate the overall role they play in the current environment, such as whether leadership is attempting to address the issue, is unintentionally furthering the issue, or has not yet identified your concerns as an organizational issue. Guidelines for Submission: This paper should be 3–5 pages, not including the cover page or reference page. APA format is to be used for the reference list and all internal citations (at least two evidence-based sources are required).

This assignment is designed to assess learning outcomes 1 and 3:

1. Evaluate a sample of a business text by undertaking a critical discourse analysis.
3. Critically discuss a range of social processes involved in managing change.

This assignment requires you to carry out the following 2 tasks:
1. Produce a critical discourse analysis of the speech by the Group Chairman of HSBC Douglas Flint available on Moodle. [about 1300 words]
As a core reference, use McCabe, D. (2016) ‘Numericalizing the other: A critical analysis of a strategy discourse in a UK bank.’ Organization 23(4), 525-549. Select further academic journal articles and other reliable sources for your answer.

2. Propose an alternative discourse in the form of a letter from the bank’s employees to its CEO, re-presenting the approach to Change from the employees’ perspective, and drawing the CEO’s attention to relevant social processes. You need to comment on some of the topics the CEO raises in his speech. For the purpose of this exercise, you may assume that the letter is addressed to the Group Chairman of HSBC, Douglas Flint. [about 500 words]

I will upload all the information which is associated with this coursework later.

The dynamic and increasingly complex world of healthcare often requires nurses to work collaboratively on interprofessional teams. In the group environment, individuals with unique skills and expertise come together to focus on a common goal; however, groups must become cohesive before they can become effective.

Your experiences working with groups—whether you perceive them as positive, negative, or neutral—can be used to facilitate insight and development. Healthcare, with its focus on interprofessional teamwork and collaboration, offers ample opportunities and an imperative for continuous learning.

For this Discussion, you focus on strategies for facilitating the group process.

To Prepare:

• Review the information in this week’s Learning Resources regarding the stages of group formation, problematic roles individuals play in groups and strategies for facilitating and maintaining positive group collaboration. In particular, review Learning Exercise 19.14 of the course text.
• Reflect on various groups with which you have been or are currently involved. Select one specific group to analyze for the purposes of this Discussion. Identify the purpose or task that the group is or was meant to perform.
• Consider the four stages of group formation (forming, storming, norming, and performing). How would you describe the progression between stages? Is there a stage in which you believe your group is or was “stuck”?
• Consider the task or group-building role you normally play in a group setting. How could you apply the information from the Learning Resources to improve your group participation and facilitation, as well as the functioning of the group as a whole?
• In addition, think about which individuals within your group (including yourself) may fall into problematic roles such as the Dominator, the Aggressor, or the Blocker. How have you and your group members addressed the enactment of these roles and its impact on interactions? With information from the Learning Resources in mind, what strategies would you apply now or going forward?

To Complete:

1) Write a description of a group with which you have been or are currently involved (INFECTION CONTROL).
2) Assess where the group is in terms of the four stages of group formation. If you are reflecting on a past experience, explain if your group moved through all four stages.
3) Describe the task or group-building role you typically play, or played, in this group.
4) Then, explain what strategies you, as a leader, can apply to better facilitate the group process and address any problematic individual roles in the group.
