The Presentation Presented By Zoe Madams

Casturn hired a consulting company that possibly didn’t have the best interest of Casturn as its core motivation. The consulting company was paid on POTENTIAL cost savings and identification instead of a results oriented contract. Due to this structure, it became about quantity of parts that can be included in the bid instead of identifying the top say twenty percent of parts that, if managed well, could have yielded both companies a lucrative cost savings in the resourcing effort. In addition, the consulting company exited the process after the initial stages giving no one accountability to carry the resourcing effort to fruition.

• Include your opinion on whether the changes are sufficient. Should more changes be made, and if so, what changes?

Four, I would improve the contact of children and family within my facility. I think it is important for my girls to have much contact with their family as needed to know they have support from their family members. Many young girls have children and I will allow on weekends for the children to stay with the mothers. I believe this will help the girl want to do better and be a better mother for her child. My girls will feel as if they still have their freedom, but are just in a place for

The Olympic Games are recognized globally by billions of people. This event is the biggest sporting event not only because it comes once every four years, but also because the world’s best athletes come together to compete for world fame and glory. Hosting the games seems like an honor for most people, however there is numerous risks involved

Bi'Annacha Andrews is a recent graduate student from Trinity Washington University class of 2016 and currently a grad student at CUA school of social service. In Ms. Andrews presentation she explains the difference between an undergrad student and grad student and the importance of knowing what you want to do. Throughout her presentation, she was very informative about the M.S.W program that I had recently stop by at the Idealist Grad Fair and show an example of her curriculum classes. I notice that she enjoyed talking about one of her class which is Homelessness: Inclir and Soc Con. For example, she talked about how social work is constantly changing and the theory of equity and equality. I found it interesting how ward 8 is the most poverty

What struck you as positive and/ or negatives? Were there certain strategic elements that were particularly insightful? Were there any glaring weaknesses that could jeopardize their success?

From Vicki Kistler’s talk, I learned that Public Health overlaps with a lot of Health Science majors. Some majors that involve Public Health are IT, Pre-med, and undecided (basic science classes). The goal of Public Health is to respond, present, and help people live happy and healthy lives. Public Health also isn’t one major or discipline, it’s a philosophy. Some careers in the Public Health field are adoption, reducing mortality for infants, and being a lawyer who supports the Public Health Law. There are 48 health instructors out of 50 and there also isn’t a Public Health department in every county of Pennsylvania. In Allentown, there are two categories of Public Health: Personal (based on personal aspects/preferences) and Environment

There was no formal bidding process. In addition, it appeared that not all bidders were treated equally. This can be seen when the bidding process was opened back up after the contractors were narrowed down to

Then set attainable schedules, as schedules like “pretty on paper” and are nowhere near reality. Thorough time and cost supervision improves trustworthiness. Per chance implement a specific team to monitor the schedule and budget standards. Then impress upon the team to alert me on any important issues before the next project meeting. Then, I believe that an external body should examine the work being done by the contractors to find any defects. Yes, this project was funded by federal and state money and I am sure that there were engineers and architects monitoring the quality of the work being done. However, from experience, so many short-cuts are used by contractors to save time and money. Furthermore, many inspectors truly do not pay attention to everything. So with this, I believe that fines and penalties should be assessed to the contractors if imperfections are found in the future that are related to craftsmanship. Additionally, fines must be related to the contractor’s inability to meet time lines. However, if the contractor can supply valid issues related to their inability to deliver, fines will not be

Comparing to my designer interview again, there is an extremely important element comes in —— SAFETY. Patti said, we may accept low profit or scheduling mistakes but never safety problems. She explained that safety problem could be imagined like a long-term liability, which would not only negatively affect labors themselves but the company’s reputation. She introduced me that there is a official factor called EMR (Experience-Modification Rating), which is based on the amount of claims made by a contractor’s employees and goes back four years. Normally, if a company’s EMR is less than 1, which means it has a good safety record. This factor will also influence labor burden, therefore, it will affects labor cost. During the bidding process, a lower labor cost is an important element of total bidding price, which can determine how competitive a company is. Another method they always use to make them competitive is that in every part of the project, they will chose at least three subcontractors and let them compete each other, therefore, make an entirely ideal

Family and Members were not happy about any of it! I was impressed with all the points they brought up which are a majority of what our concerns are plus some! I put some of the families/members input in the sections below.

*the City's requirements that a percentage of the project be done by local and minority talent hamstrung BAE to deliver. They were forced to hire subcontractors resulting in longer times and higher costs.

For this week, I chose to do my discussion on the presentation presented by Marielle Tenorio. The title of her presentation was “Comparing & Contrasting Pulmonary Stress Test and Six Minute Walk”. The main objective of her research was to identify pulmonary stress test and six-minute walk test, its contraindications and indications, and explore which one of the two tests is most cost-effective. The presentation was indeed easy to follow and very informative. I am glad that she covered this topic as it was a good review for all of us. It was interesting to learn that six minute walk test is done to evaluate how well the body responds to exertion and determine overall functional capacity or changes in capacity due to therapy in patients with

In construction projects, mostly the firms (in this case the firms become client) do not have the skills or develop skills inside the firms to undertake the projects due to amount of the projects should be conducted or the complexity of the projects (Reve and Levitt, 1984). Therefore, the economic decision to conduct the projects is to procure them to third parties. However, more commonly the client agonize the final quality of the projects will meet standard requirements. Thus, impacts to involvement of complex contracts of construction procurement.

In the Ted Talk by Linda Hill How to manage for collective creativity, she uses big companies to show how the amount of innovation in a company is determined by the leaders. In her example of google she talks about when g-mail was getting ready to drop and they realized that their website would more than likely crash if they didn’t update it, so they decided to let teams emerge with different ideas themselves. One team believed that they should build on the website they already have and another believed they should start from scratch. They were told to build prototypes to see what worked better, during this process some members of the team went to Dan and said that they didn’t have enough time for two teams to compete, but there was no way
