The annual conference presentation

/in /by

case study

You’re a learning and development consultant who has been contracted by a relatively large organisation who, in the past, outsourced its L&D function. He’s now looking to expand the L&D offering in-house and is keen to develop this, utilising the new learning technologies that are available. You’ve been given effectively a clean sheet in which to work from as there is only a newly appointed L&D manager and yourself looking at how the organisation can do L&D differently and deliver to the masses as the people directors stated in their annual plan to the Board.

 

You need to create a 20-minute presentation for the organisation’s annual conference. This will be shared among all attending senior leaders and managers within the organisation to help them understand the digital learning and development transformation that you will be leading within the organisation over the next 18 months. As part of this activity, you will need to:

 

1.    Evaluate how the development of technology, along with digital collaboration, has impacted the design and delivery of learning and development over the past five years (AC 1.1).

 

2.    Evaluate at least one risk and one challenge that technology-based learning and development poses to:

·       Organisations, and how these could be addressed (part of AC 1.2)

·       L&D professionals, and how these could be addressed (part of AC 1.2)

·       Learners, and how these could be addressed (part of AC 1.2)

3.    Assess the following five different types of digital learning content, ‘explainer videos’, PDFs, infographics, e-learning and scenarios. Discuss when these types may be applied in learning and add in an overview as to the benefit the learner receives from this type of digital learning content (AC 2.1).

4.    Evaluate three attributes that you would consider to help you to choose the right digital learning content to maximise the impact on learner engagement and how you would ensure that the content meets the identified learning need (AC 2.2).

The same prudence, which in private life would forbid our paying our own money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the dispensation of the public moneys.
—T homas Jefferson
There is wisdom in the old adage that “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” The value of what you have now is generally greater than what it will be in the future. Time is a major factor in understanding current and future worth of money. Getting paid for a good or service today is worth more than a promise of being paid in the future. Why is it so important to clear your accounts receivable as quickly as possible? Every day a claim remains uncollected you are losing money. Ever increasing costs continue to put pressure on the consumer.

Understanding how the other countries address cost, quality, and access to care provides health care managers in the United States with models they can use to benchmark their own performance. As health care reform continues to change how health care is paid for in the U.S., managers will have to learn to read the signs, make predictions, and prepare for any number of various economic, political, and financial implications of change. Pay-for-performance, patient-centered care, and medical home models are all relatively new constructs within the health care industry. These must also be considered as they represent the latest trends in health care delivery markets.

Learning Objectives
Students will:
Differentiate between net present value and internal rate of return for capital investments
Compare and contrast different types of national health care systems
Identify global issues related to health care economics, finance, and budgeting
Identify future trends in health care economics

Introduction to Health Care Economics & Financial Management
Chapter 14, “International Health Economics Issues”Globalization is an external factor that can influence health care economics and finance. This chapter highlights the shared concerns of quality—access and cost control that impact providers and consumers around the world.

Chapter 15, “Future Trends and Keeping Updated”Information about heath care economics and finance changes quickly, especially as policy and politics rapidly change. This chapter discusses possible future directions and trends in health care as they are related to economics and finance and suggest ways for health care professionals to keep up to date on related trends. While focusing on policies relevant to health care professionals in the U.S., key concepts may be applied to other industrialized and developing nations.
Financial Statements: A Step-by-Step Guide to Understanding and Creating Financial Reports
Chapter 16, “Mission, Vision, Goals, Strategies, Actions and Tactics”Developing a sound financial strategy is a process. It begins by first asking questions, then testing some assumptions and gathering information. Managers then examine strengths and weaknesses and ultimately looking at customers and the overall economic environment. Strategic planning helps produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide health care settings toward achieving their mission and vision goals.

Chapter 17, “Risk and Uncertainty”A crystal ball that could predict the future would be nice. However, that technology has not been perfected at this time. There are always risks and uncertainty when planning for expenses. This chapter draws your attention to the concepts of risk, uncertainty, and threats commonly encountered in business.

Chapter 20, “The Time Value of Money”In this chapter, the authors clarify the value of today’s dollar in the future. They discuss issues of inflation, risk, and opportunity cost.

Chapter 21, “Net Present Value (NPV)”Capital budgeting for new projects or technologies in health care may be part of the health care manager’s role. This chapter describes the net present value analysis.

Module 2 – Case
ARGUMENTATION
Case Assignment
Note: Module 2 SLP should be completed before the Module 2 Case.

No secondary sources are to be used in the process of writing this first paper; it is to be entirely written based on one’s point of view and supported with body points and details.

Reflecting on the four gender-related videos for Module 2 (see below), write a well-organized and well-supported essay in which you help challenge society’s limiting gender narratives.

A well-organized essay has a beginning, middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. In this case, it would be an explanation of gender roles, stereotypes, myths, and/or controls in society today. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be a statement affirming what needs to be done to limit gender narratives in society today.

A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. For this essay, you must decide the best way to organize the body of the paper. Will you have a paragraph for each change? Will you divide the body of your paper into three or more paragraphs, one for each point? In any case, each body paragraph must support (explain) your reasoning (rationale) using specific details. Each body paragraph must have a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.

The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world. In this case, where is our society headed? Is it too late for change?

Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 2 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English.

Papers must be double-spaced in Times or Times New Roman font (12 cpi) with standard one-inch margins.

The first person “I” is not used in a formal essay.

This essay must include no less than SIX citations from the assigned background material for module 2. Citations are to be a combination of direct quotations and paraphrased quotations with or without the author’s name. No other sources are to be used for this assignment.

Assignment Expectations
Write an essay (no less than four pages in length) that states and supports an original thesis statement in which you help challenge society’s limiting gender narratives.
Demonstrate the ability to identify credible and reliable sources for use in a well-supported and cohesive essay.
Demonstrate the ability to write a direct quote, paraphrased, or summary citation in APA Style
