Portfolio Project #1 provides data from a hypothetical organization. The data can be found at the bottom of the page.
You will create a strategic plan that aligns the human resources (HR) function with the organization’s mission, vision, and objectives. The overall scope of the Portfolio Project is to create a “Shared Services” structure for HR that will be housed at the organization’s corporate offices.
Milestone 2: Portfolio Milestone: Outline
Prepare an outline of your plan project and submit it to your instructor for review. Please use APA format and include a two- to three-sentence description of each section.
Milestone 4: Portfolio Milestone: Annotated Bibliography
A solid foundation of research will support the theoretical base and practical applications of your strategic plan. Prepare an annotated bibliography of the 10 or more sources you have selected.
Milestone 5: Portfolio Milestone: Purpose Statement
Most of us are aware of the term “purpose statement” but are unsure of its real meaning within an organization. It is a statement describing the organization’s purpose, or the reason for its existence. The purpose of an organization reflects a desired position in the marketplace. It should accurately answer to the questions below. The purpose statement is the written summary of those answers.
Who are we?
What do we do?
For whom do we do this?
How do we know when we are getting it done?
The purpose statement is the written summary of those answers. The most effective purpose statements are short, concise, and direct. A good purpose statement is between 2–3 sentences.
Answer the four questions above and create a purpose statement for your HR department. Submit the answers to the four questions and the purpose statement to your instructor for review.
NOTE: At this stage, you will need to name your company and decide the service they provide or products they manufacture.

The Structure of Statements: Translating If and And Statements
This exercise will help you become more proficient at recognizing, translating, and evaluating if and and statements. In this assignment, find two examples for the exercise; translate the claims of the example into symbolic form; identify an if or anand statement; then assess it.
Note: Translation and assessment are tools we use to categorize statements. Therefore, you will not be penalized if, through translation and assessment, you learn a statement that appeared to be an if or an and statement is a statement of another type.
The completed assignment must contain the original claims, your translation of the claims into logical form, and your assessment of the statement in logical form. The original examples should be three to five sentences in length.
Your assessment should include answers to the following questions:
Is the set of claims an argument?
Is the original claim (when translated) an if . . . then or and statement?
Did the translation of the original claims reveal the statement was a different kind of statement than you originally believed?
Remember, you will also need to provide a translation key to explain the symbols you use.
Present the summary, translation, and evaluation in Microsoft Word document format
Successful builders rely on tools they know have worked well in the past. It isn’t enough to know simply what tools that are available; becoming successful depends upon learning which tool is right for a given job. You might know you need a saw to cut materials, but an accomplished builder will know immediately whether you’ll need a circular saw or a reciprocal saw. Both are electric, and both cut through materials, but they serve different functions. Determining which tool to use depends on many factors, such as the type of material used and the desired end result.
As in building, certain tools have been shown to be necessary in the construction of a successful public health program; these tools include logic models, budgets, and timelines. Logic models, which can take many forms, are graphic representations of what a program intends to accomplish (outputs) with the resources available (inputs). Budgets and timelines also may be represented graphically. Public health professionals need to understand the uses and challenges of tools used in public health program implementation.
For this week’s Discussion, review the media titled Programming Tools. Also, explore the sample logic models, budgets, and timelines in the Learning Resources. Select one of the three programming tools: a logic model, a budget, or a timeline, and consider the potential uses and challenges of using this tool in your SPP
Main post:
Post 3- 4 pages
Divide your response into 5 sections (you must use these headings; do not modify them!!):
1. A brief description of the programming tool you selected
2. Why did you select this programming tool for your SPP?
3. How it may be useful in your SPP?
4. An explanation of two potential challenges you may encounter using this programming tool in your SPP
5. Explanation of two strategies for addressing the challenges related to the use of your selected programming tool
Length requirement: 500 – 550 words.
Please stay within the word limit. The headings and the main text are included in the word limit. The references are not included in the word limit.

Public health workers are often like marketers trying to sell a product. They would like to know how to “sell” consumers on a health behavior; for example, they may want to persuade consumers to get enough calcium to prevent osteoporosis. It would be important to know whether consumers care about osteoporosis or if they even know what it is.
The Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) is a convenient framework for assessing where a person is in the process of deciding to take action on a health behavior. Not all health behaviors, however, fit the seven stages of this model. Some conditions involve complex behaviors such as protecting against skin cancer by wearing sunscreen, limiting time in the sun, and being screened by a dermatologist. A person may be in Stage 6 because they wear sunscreen but in Stage 1 because they have moles that need to be screened by a healthcare provider. In this example, the PAPM may not be a good fit.
For this Discussion, select a health condition to research. Review the literature, and select a peer-reviewed article about the illness or health condition. Consider how you would apply the seven stages of the PAPM to this health issue. (See Figures 6.1 and 6.2 on page 127 of the text for example diagrams.)
With these thoughts in mind:
Post 3-4 pages of a brief description of the article you selected. Then, construct a diagram in a Word file that depicts the stages of the Precaution Adoption Process Model as it applies to your selected illness or health condition. Describe the strengths and limitations of the model as it applies to the illness or health condition you selected

Conflict resolution is a necessary skill for any manager or leader. In this assignment, you will examine the difference between conflict and competition. You will also explore ways of determining when conflict resolution is necessary and explain ways to resolve conflict.
Research the role of conflict and competition using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Select two resources for use in this assignment. Reflect on your experiences with conflict. If you have no business related experiences with conflict, apply your personal experiences to a common workplace situation.
