  • Research Statement David M. Simmonds
    Research Statement David M. Simmonds Executive Summary My research goal is to demonstrate how Information Technologies will enhance value creation along Supply Chains, specifically in the area of Collaborative Planning, Forecasting & Replenishment (CPFR). CPFR uses collaborative IT to create efficiencies in the movement of goods between along the supply chain, by increasing the precision with which demand is predicted. Using surveys of supply-chain focused middle management in medium sized companies, I intend to examine the challenges in using CPFR to manage demand along supply chains, from an organizational and technical level. Past Research The famous “Gang of Four”, led by Erich Gamma, converted Gamma’s dissertation into a world class book of 23 software design patterns (Gamma, Helm, Johnson, & Vlissides, 1993). While this book revolutionized the thinking on software design patterns in building robust, adaptable software, the GoF wrote their book in technical language, and also abstract C++ code samples which were hard to understand. So while the book is well renowned within the ranks of hard-core computer scientists, it never gained the traction that it should have amongst more general Information Technology personal, especially systems analysts and software developers. In order to make their ground breaking work more accessible to a wider audience, I synthesized the design pattern literature in order to reinterpret their book. I published my treatise on Programmer’s Heaven, a website dedicated to empowering software developers to build high quality software (GoF Design Patterns @ Programmers Heaven). I explained the design patterns in plain English and also used everyday examples. Additionally, I reinforced the treatise on design patterns with functioning, visually appealing UI code written in Visual Basic .Net.

The aim of this research is to investigate how middle managers in a Canadian critical care setting perceive their role and associated responsibilities in facilitating the implementation of a mandated QI project. Interviews with eight critical care middle managers were conducted to understand how they viewed their role during the implementation of a mandated delirium screening and management QI project. Using Charmaz’s (2014) approach to grounded theory, an explanatory framework is created demonstrating that managers perceive their role as ensuring or building multi-faceted understanding of the project amongst frontline staff members.

  • Are You a Collaborative Leader March 11 2011 Submitted
    Are You a Collaborative Leader? Succeeding in a Hyper-Connected World Herminia Ibarra & Morten Hansen Draft of March 11, 2011 Summary: Increasingly, great accomplishments happen when people collaborate; that means that the new job of leaders is to guide those collaborations. Four skill sets allow leaders to spot collaborative opportunities, attract diverse talents to them, create disciplined flexibility to get the work done, and reward learning. Today we work more collaboratively than ever before. Corporations team up with customers, consumers, NGOs, governments, the communities in which they operate, and competitors. And they work with them differently than even ten years ago. Global, virtual teams including people working in, say, Bangalore, Shanghai, Berlin, London, New York and San Francisco have become the norm, not the exception. People coalesce around a collaboration opportunity, get it done, disband, and move on to the next thing, all the while working on two or three other teams. Facebook, twitter, Linked-In, videoconferencing and a host of other web 2.0 information technologies put all this connectivity on steroids and enable forms of collaborations that would have been impossible in the old world. Information flows freely and transparently. Authority flattens. But, even though the business world has changed profoundly, dominant leadership styles have not. Over the last 100 years, when the dominant mode of organizing companies was based on hierarchies, leaders used a Command and Control leadership style to wring results out of people up and down the chain of command. Today, executives are less likely to have formal authority over those on whom they depend to accomplish common goals.

  • Applying Mintzberg's Theories on Organizational Configuration To
    Applying Mintzberg’s Theories on Organizational Configuration to Archival Appraisal* VICTORIA LEMIEUX RÉSUMÉ Cet article applique les théories de Henry Mintzberg sur la configuration organisationnelle à l’évaluation archivistique dans le but de démontrer comment la théorie des organisations peut aider l’archivistique. L’article présente un certain nom- bre d’hypothèses relatives à la gestion des documents et à l’évaluation archivistique sur la base des théories de Mintzberg. On les compare ensuite aux études de cas dévelop- pées par Helen Samuels et JoAnne Yates dans le but d’en vérifier la validité. Finale- ment, on présente une méthodologie pour l’application des théories de Mintzberg à la réalisation d’évaluations archivistiques. L’article conclu que les théories de Mintzberg et les hypothèses relatives à la gestion des documents et à l’évaluation archivistique qui en découlent, offrent aux archivistes des moyens plus rapides et plus précis pour l’iden- tification des documents de valeur archivistique que ceux offerts par les théories et stratégies actuelles. Enfin, on termine en affirmant que, compte tenu de l’utilité des théories de Mintzberg dans le cas de l’évaluation archivistique, la théorie de l’organisa- tion offre un potentiel élevé dans le cadre du renouvellement de la théorie archivis- tique. ABSTRACT This article applies Henry Mintzberg's theories on organizational config- uration to archival appraisal as a means of demonstrating how organizational theory can inform archival theory. The article presents a number of record-keeping and archi- val appraisal hypotheses based on Mintzberg's theories. It then compares these hypoth- eses to appraisal case studies by Helen Samuels and JoAnne Yates as a means of verifying the validity of the hypotheses.

  • Collaboration and Collaborative Leadership
    OHIO COMMUNITY COLLABORATION MODEL FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT Collaboration and Collaborative Leadership Introduction The Ohio Community Collaboration Model for School Improvement (OCCMSI) relies on just that, collaboration among key people in your school community. This collaboration starts with new, improved relationships among all the people working at the school, and it encompasses new and improved working relationships with other key people and organizations in your surrounding community (i.e., leaders from youth development organizations, faith-based organizations, businesses, higher education, etc.). Essentially, no longer is the school alone responsible for the academic success and the healthy development of youth. The responsibility for these achievements is owned by all community stakeholders, not just by educators. The main reason is individuals and groups from the community become aware they depend on children’s academic success in school; at the same time educators learn they also depend on these outside individuals and groups. In a word, everyone involved in the new relationship – the collaboration – becomes aware they are interdependent; and so they work together to improve results. This chapter is designed to help you create, organize and manage your school improvement efforts via collaborative leadership. We will discuss important concepts that will help you structure your relationships with individuals and groups outside your schools, as well as those that will help you manage and maintain these partnerships over time. Collaboration is one concept emphasized. Collaborative leadership is another. Later in this guide, we also provide an additional section focused on building community partnerships, particularly in relation to the delivery of various programs and services.

  • Supply Chain Management Certifications That Will Increase the Skill Level of Individuals Seeking Employment in That Field
    Competency Models In Action: Consortium Develops Certifications for Supply Chain Management Occupations April 2016 Collaborating with industry and educators in preparing individuals for supply chain management occupations Developing industry-recognized certifications and credentials Partnering with the National Urban League local affiliates to provide participant support services Introduction Supply chain management encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities. Importantly, it also includes coordination and collaboration with channel partners, which can be suppliers, intermediaries, third party service providers and customers. In essence, supply chain management integrates supply and demand management within and across companies.1 “Companies are finding that the growing complexity of supply chains has a significant consequence: hiring the right people to build and manage the expansive operations is more difficult than ever. Industry experts say an understanding of technology and an ability to work in a global environment are increasingly important in the supply chain, forcing managers to look for people with a rare mix of specialized skills to manage this crucial aspect of their business.”2 The mission of the Leveraging, Integrating, Networking, Coordinating Supplies (LINCS) Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College Career Training grant is to address that need. The program is administered by a consortium of nine colleges and three universities led by a national team from Broward College. The other consortium members are Columbus State Community College, Essex County College, Florida State College at Jacksonville, Harper College, Long Beach City College, San Jacinto College, St. Petersburg College, Union County College, Georgia Institute of Technology, Northwestern University and Rutgers University.
