According to the plan, the land is located on the corner of the neighborhood where Owen, Luke’s brother, lives. Luke knows that as soon as the plans for the store are made public, property values for the surrounding neighborhood will decrease significantly. ABC plans to publicly announce the project one month from today. Luke is concerned about his obligations of confidentiality to his company. However, Luke is also very close to Owen, who recently told Luke that he received an offer to sell his house at an “okay” price given the current real estate market. Owen is considering selling but hasn’t made any final decision yet. He wonders if he might get a better offer a few years from now when the real estate market improves.

Part 1

We’ve learned how big of an advantage that technology can be in today’s business environment. Every major strategic management goal will make use of multiple types of technology during implementation. In this assignment, you will need to create a presentation for the upper management at your chosen course project business. The presentation will focus on suggesting two pieces of technology that you feel are essential to the implementation of your chosen strategic management goal. This presentation will be in PowerPoint and requires the recording of audio. Below is a detailed breakdown of what should be included in the presentation. Remember that presentations need to engage the audience through visual and auditory means. Use PowerPoint’s features to accomplish this.

• Create a title slide.
• Summarize the goal you are trying to accomplish and the value it will bring to the business.
• Identify two pieces of technology that you believe are essential to you accomplishing your chosen strategic management goal.
  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of each technology?
  • Why is each of these pieces of technology important to the implementation and execution of your chosen goal?
• Provide research that supports your technology choices.
  • Cite a minimum of 1 scholarly source.
    • Include a final APA works cited slide.
• Format the presentation so that it’s engaging and employs advanced formatting features such as templates, transitions, charts, or video.

Part 2

The stage is set for your strategic goal to become a reality. Before that can happen, you’ll need to think through and map out the tasks within the project. This assignment will focus on planning out the individual aspects of the project using the project management tools that you’ve previously learned. You will be able to use Word or Excel for this assignment. (Choose whichever you’re more familiar with.) It’s important to think through the goal you’re trying to accomplish and how you’ll reach it. The more detailed you can be with your tasks, the smoother the project management cycle will go. Your submission this week for Part 2 should accomplish the following:

• Create a basic chart that lists out at least 8 tasks required to complete your chosen strategic management goal and estimates on how long each will take to complete.
• Create a Gantt chart using the tasks listed in the previous chart.
• Create a network diagram using the tasks listed out in the previous chart.
• Analyze your created Gantt chart and network diagram. Identify two potential issues that may be a cause for concern when the project gets underway.

Discussion – Week 8COLLAPSE

During a Crisis—Early Interventions

Early crisis intervention requires rapid responses, assessment, and intervention. Your crisis plan should include information about the demographics of the region, including numbers of people with mental health and physical considerations, approximate number of children and elderly, and information on other special populations. With this information in hand, the initial assessment during a crisis is focused on immediate client needs and physical safety. A survivor’s previous crisis experience or other pre-existing psychological or physical conditions should be included. Aspects of crisis intervention that differ from therapy include short or brief interventions or therapy involving problem-solving techniques. Gathering information about a client’s social systems is important for the client’s safety and support for problem-solving. Also, in most types of crises, interventions taken by counselors are more directive than they would normally be with individual clients. Referrals may be made for housing, clothing, food, and other basic essentials for living. Other early interventions, such case management, include needs assessment, care planning (such as housing), implementation, and regular review. These referral issues are crucial because, depending upon the scope of the crisis, survivors may not be able to return to work or to their homes for an extended period of time.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Choose a natural disaster other than Hurricane Katrina, and research the demographics for the area where the disaster occurred. Think about the populations affected by the natural disaster you chose as you review the following materials.
• Review Chapters 5, 8, and 13 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to the various types of interventions associated with different populations.
• Review the article, “Integrating Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Substance Use Disorder,” focusing on the methods of and rational for integrating PTSD and substance use disorder interventions.
• Review the article, “The Monsters in My Head: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and the Child Survivor of Sexual Abuse,” and think about the complications and dynamics added to a recent crisis when childhood sexual abuse is in the client’s history.
• Review the article, “Validity of the Suicide Assessment Checklist in an Emergency Crisis Center” and consider how assessing for suicide is made even more complex during and after a crisis situation.
• Review the article, “Risk Factors for Suicidality Among Clients with Schizophrenia,” and again think about how mental illness might contribute to suicidality during and after a crisis situation.
• Review the article, “Predictors of Depression and Anxiety Among International Students,” and consider additional stress factors for this population.
• Now concentrate more closely on the natural disaster you chose and think about early interventions related to PTSD in children, adults, and special populations and how they might contribute to stabilization of survivors.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the natural disaster you chose. Then provide three PTSD-related early interventions that might contribute to the stabilization of survivors in the specific natural disaster you chose. Explain how and why they might work.
