Synthesis and critical thinking. Teams can be a powerful force for producing innovation but at the same time can hinder innovation. Synthesize these three things: the most meaningful part of the text reading for you, the article you read on successful teams, and an experience of your own. From these sources develop a conclusion about the best ways to empower teams for successful innovation. This paper should be approximately 6-10 pages in length. Use correct APA format, including a cover page, in-text citations, and a reference page. You may write in the first person. Submit this assignment to Blackboard Assignments. The rubric below will be used to evaluate this assignment.

For this assignment, please review your Memorable Speech from Week 2, you’re your Informative Speech from Week 6, and critically assess the presentation in terms of your personal growth in this class. What did you do well? What can you improve upon? This will help you in your last week of preparation before the final persuasive speech!

Be honest and forthcoming – how would you evaluate your growth over the past several weeks?

Read and respond to your classmates as well. Did you have similar findings as anyone? The more honest we are with ourselves, the better our chances of finishing strong in Week 8!

I look forward to your self-assessments!

QUESTION B

We’ve touched upon a variety of public speaking types in our lectures throughout this course. Pick one with which you are least familiar, and do some research on it. Can you give us a famous example of that type of speech? Now that you’ve identified and defined the speech type, can you think of an example from your life, that could now be classified as this category? Make sure you’re conversing with your classmates as well – were there any similar findings amongst your peers? I look forward to this conversation!

What are the communication challenges organizations face today? Once they are identified, how does an organization overcome these challenges and improve their communication flow? In this three-part assignment, you will first conduct a communication audit to assess organizational communication within an organization of your choice. A communication audit is a method of research that reveals how your stakeholders view your organization’s communication methods and effectiveness. We will provide you with a survey (below) that you will use to measure this perception, and you will administer it in your organization.

You will then analyze and synthesize the results of the data obtained from your audit efforts and select one critical communication challenge in your organization, conduct research and develop suggestions for addressing that specific communication challenge. Last, you will present the result of your audit, your research, and suggestions for improvement in a presentation.

Your goals:

Administer the communication audit in your organization.

Analyze and synthesize the results of the data from the communication audit.

Based on the communication audit identify one critical communication challenge that needs to be addressed within your organization.

Create and deliver a presentation that provides the results of your audit with suggestions for improvement based on the data obtained from the audit and the literature on organizational communication.

Directions:

Assume you are the Director of Human Resources at your chosen organization. You are tasked with conducting a communication audit and presenting the results to leadership. Your goal in conducting the communication audit is to identify one main communication challenge within an organization that needs to be addressed.

You will complete the following tasks:

Conduct a communication audit using the Communication Audit Survey located below. In order to obtain valid results, you want to survey between 8 to 10 people.

You may print out the survey and distribute it in person for completion, or you may administer it online, for example, usingSurveyMonkey or Google Form.

The survey includes questions that tap six different areas of organizational communication: (1) Receiving information from others, (2) Sending information to others, (3) Following up on information, (4) Sources of information, (5) Timeliness of information, and (6) Channels of communication. Within these six areas of organizational communication, identify one major issue in one area to address based on the responses from the survey.

Finally, research the scholarly literature for recommendations about how the organization can address this issue.

Format:

Communicate the results of the Communication Audit by developing a presentation, using APA format. Include a title slide with your project title (e.g., “Communication Audit”), the organization’s name, your name, class, instructor, and date.

Present an introduction that describes your research methodology and provides details of the survey administration, response rate, and characteristics of the survey population. Develop a professionally-written narrative in which you describe the data using appropriate tables, charts, and graphs. Include a detailed analysis followed by a summary of your findings, using the example in the “Collecting and Analyzing Data” file in the content area. Identify the top communication challenge from your survey, and present your recommendations to strengthen this communication challenge, based on the scholarly literature. In the appendix, present the survey questions and the number of responses for each question.

Your presentation should be professional and creative. Adding audio and/or visual elements on the slides is highly recommended. Text should be the proper size for viewing during a presentation. Your presentation will need title and citation slides. You must have a minimum of 3 reliable sources in your citations. Use APA format for the in-text citations you use to support your arguments. Don’t forget to check your spelling! As a friendly reminder, all words must be yours and your own typing. You may not copy text directly from a source.
