Introduction

An organizations sustainable competitive advantage is derived largely from intangible assets: human, social, and intellectual capital. Human resource professionals enable current and future organizational competitiveness by ensuring that people with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to produce these resources are in adequate supply. This is accomplished through employee training and talent management. As a human resource professional, your ability to effectively plan and implement employee training and develop talent management programs will directly contribute to your organizations success. In this task, you will create and evaluate a training plan for an organization.

Scenario

A midsized custom furniture retail organization has recently acquired 10 new stores and 300 new employees from a competitor. The acquisition has been announced and the new stores are scheduled for their grand reopenings in 60 days. With the acquisition of floor agents from the new stores, the sales tactics, knowledge, and processes differ from store to store, resulting in various objectives, sales drivers, and measures for success within the sales department. To remain competitive in the furniture store industry and to create synergy among the newly acquired stores and the current stores, training and development of the sales department is needed.

As the director of strategic training and development, you need to create a training plan designed to train and prepare the newly acquired floor agent employees to meet organization expectations regarding sales initiatives and sales training. As you begin to strategize the training and development plan, you realize that the furniture store does not currently have any established process for training floor agents, thus the training plan will be developed from scratch.

Since the competitor organization has retained a number of their current locations, management at your organization has concerns that the competitor may attempt to entice their best employees back to their organization. Management needs you to identify those promising individuals and design a plan to work specifically with them on their career development within the organization and, when possible, their integration into the management of the organization.

Requirements

Training Development and Evaluation

A. Identify four measurable learning objectives for the training program that would help develop the floor agents selling capabilities.

B. Describe a training program you would develop and how it would appropriately address the learning objectives.

1. Justify how the training program is supported by adult learning theory and behavioral theory.

C. Recommend one in-person and one technology-facilitated method for effectively delivering the training program.

1. Justify the rationale for each recommended delivery method from part C.

D. Identify a desired result of the training program for each learning objective from part A.

E. Explain how you will evaluate the desired results from part D by doing the following:

1. Recommend one metric to evaluate the results of the training program.

2. Explain how to calculate the recommended metric.

Note: You will not need to perform the calculations.

3. Explain why the chosen metric is an effective option for evaluating the training program.

A clear, focused, purposeful presentation of ideas for innovation is essential for an innovation initiative to be successful. Business leaders must be able to present their strategy for innovation to begin the implementation process. Having a vision for creativity and innovation is not enough. An effective leader must be able to present that vision in a compelling way and bring people along. With this assessment you have an opportunity to practice your presentation skills.

Gaining proficiency in presenting information is the hallmark of a doctoral scholar.

Course Project

You would like to buy a new car in five years for cash. The price of the car today is $56,000 and you expect that the price will increase by 6% per year. You plan to save for this car starting today with a deposit in your savings account, which currently has a balance of $1,800 and earns 4% compounded annually.

You know that you will be receiving an inheritance of $3,500 three years from today, which you will deposit in your savings account for the car. If you make a deposit every month for the next five years beginning one month from today, how much will the deposit have to be in order for you to be able to pay cash for the car?

Tasks:

• Analyze the differences in the value of the car today and the value of the car in 3 years. Why will this value change?
• Evaluate the amount of money you will have saved and the amount needed to purchase the car. Are they the same?

Exploring Everyday Communication Models

In our first discussion, we’ll explore the intricacies of everyday communication by applying the communication models covered this weekAction, Interaction, and Transaction-to a concrete scenario.

Option 1: Personal Experience

Describe a recent conversation, highlighting key aspects. If you’re uncomfortable sharing a personal conversation, feel free to use a scenario from a movie or television show.

Option 2: Generative AI or Media Scenario

Alternatively, you can leverage generative AI to create a fictional conversation for analysis. If you choose this option, make sure to cite the AI tool used in correct APA citation. There are resources on APA citation in the Course Resources module in the classroom.

After presenting your example, choose one of the communication modelsAction, Interaction, or Transactionalthat aligns with the characteristics of the conversation. If you use a generative AI tool, it might perform the analysis for you, and that’s acceptable for this assignment. In that case, include the analysis that was generated, cite it in APA citation, and evaluate the analysis that generative AI provided. Does it seem accurate given what you learned in the weekly learning modules and textbook readings? How would you explain the communication model and how it applies to the example in your own words? Which channels of communication are missing from chats with generative AI? The primary focus of this assignment is on your understanding of the chosen model and how it can enhance your daily communication with others. While generative AI can help you come up with and even analyze examples, the work of developing and employing effective communication skills must come from you.

Here is a suggested outline for your post:

• Describe and/or quote the conversation.
• Model Application: Apply the chosen communication model to the conversation example. Discuss the characteristics of communication evident in the conversation. Explain why you believe the selected model best describes the communication dynamics in your scenario and/or cite the generative AI analysis in correct APA citation and compare it to what you learned in this weeks readings and course modules.
• Enhancing Daily Communication: Discuss how understanding and applying the chosen communication model can enhance your daily interactions with others. Consider the model’s principles and how awareness of these principles can improve the quality of communication in various contexts.
• Comparisons and Reflection: Reflect on whether the communication model aligns with or differs from your typical communication style. Compare the model’s principles with your natural tendencies and identify potential areas for improvement.

Guidelines for your peer responses:

Respond to at least two classmates by providing feedback or sharing insights:

Highlight if they effectively applied a communication model.

Comment on how their analysis deepened your understanding of effective communication.

Share your own suggestions for improving communication based on their examples. You should also respond to at least one post from your instructor.

Instructions:

To support your work, use your course and text readings. As in all assignments, cite your sources (both those from the course and any others you may use, including generative AI) in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates.
