The text refers to resources, technology and effergy as the top three items to evaluate (Nassar, 2007). All three components work together to create an organization. The key is to create an even balance with all three components. The main resource for TRICOR is our workforce. This workforce is supplied by our partner Tennessee Department of Correction (TRICOR, 2016). I see that there are no alternatives to the main resource. TRICOR should maintain an amicable relationship with this department to maintain this essential resource. Technology is also essential to maintaining an even workflow within TRICOR. Technology is ever changing. TRICOR must evolve with the age and time. TRICOR must maintain software and hardware that protects the organization while allowing the organization to maintain a security for the offenders to operate. …show more content…
It is very important for the organization to combine human effort and raw energy to create soft skills and job skills for the offenders. It is important for the organization to stay abreast of the changes trends of working with the offender population. Reference: Nassar, N.S. (2007). A System Approach to Organizational Development (P.

First, I will discuss the importance of work and education in the corrections in a historical perspective. I will review the different kind of education, work and vocational programs that the prisons offer and theoretical explanations on why might the programs may affect recidivism. The second section will deal with the research on the effectiveness of the programs in trying to cut down the recidivism of inmates. I will then end with an explanation on why I think and research that education and work programs help the inmates in and out of prison. How it affects their lives after they are let out of prison and how it helps with social encounters.
Correctional facilities have been gradually changing over time. The introduction of education is one of the advantages that come from the modern day prisons. Many prisoners are now able to read and earn educational accolades which in prison. Such people as this paper has found out fit better after their jail term in the society. There are thus programs set aside in order to help prisoners gain special skills which help them to secure jobs after their sentence. Those who gain these skills in prison do not indulge in crime after coming from jail as they are more occupied and easily earn an income for themselves. This paper looks at more advantages of this program and how it can be further enhanced to reach even more inmates.
“Systems thinking is the art and science of making reliable inferences about behavior by developing an increasingly deep understanding of underlying structure” (THWink.org, 2014). It is a way of understanding the relationships that shape the behavior of systems. It helps us see how changes can be more effective. Specifically, this paper will discuss the following:

My research will be delivered to the Corrections Committee of the Texas House of Representatives. The current members of the Correction Committee are: Jim Murphy who is the chairman, James White who is the vice-chairman, Alma A. Allen, Mark Keough, Matt Krause, Leighton Schubert, and Tony Tinderholt (“Corrections”, n.d.). The Chairman’s (Jim Murphy) email is jim.murphy@house.state.tx.us (“The Texas Tribune”, n.d.).

As we seen before learning is a cyclic process said by David hind (1994) somewhat equivalently explained by David Buchanan and Andrrzej Huczynski (2004) that the concept of organisational learning is significant because it has a direct command over organisation such as to grow, to

This paper describes and discusses the practical steps taken by Peter Senge in identifying “Why aren’t we all working for learning organizations?” The concept of an adaptive and generative learning organization is defined, and will discuss how organizational learning faces critical issues within its organization. First, the organization’s single-loop learning is discussed and reviewed. Second, the organization’s command and control structure is discussed whether it can be revamped to provide better attributes to an organizations learning. Last, the core paradigm is defined and discussed on its impact within the organization. In 2010 the professors’, John Seddon and Brendan
Systems thinking described human thinking in a spiritual activity of the brain, that is, brainwork, following the concept of being as the spiritual alive body. It asserts that thinking means the processing of information that is essential for the management of the human body life (Broks, 2016). This paper discusses systems theory of systems thinking as applied to organizations today, in particular to learning institutions versus those of traditional organizations, and their functionalities. Research has taught us that companies are compelling, hierarchically structured entities. Such dynamism lives in the emergence of significant events at every organizational level (Caldwell, (2012).
Organizational theorists have examined learning for quite a long time. Majority of the researchers view organizational learning as a process, which unfolds over certain period of time, and associate it with acquisition of knowledge and enhanced performance. They, however differ on certain essential issues. For instance, some believe that behavioral change is needed for learning; while others maintain that new ways of thinking are enough (Garvin, 1993). Others refer to information
Several researchers like Gregory et al. examined the following three most important frameworks that could be used to conceptualize the organizational performance (OP).
