Many public and nonprofit managers and leaders are seeking innovative solutions to minimize the costs of operations while providing quality public services. One way to do this is through contracting services such as information technology, billing, and so forth. Organizations operating globally must ensure that managers and leaders continuously hone communication and leadership skills to work effectively with different cultures. Leaders involved in domestic contracting must also learn new skills in order to achieve desired results from outside entities. Although leaders in government organizations do not contract as much internationally as for-profit organizations, public and nonprofit organizations are also affected by the increasingly diverse populations surrounding their organizations and the availability of information on how others in the world govern.In this Discussion, you analyze various implications that contracting and globalization have on public and/or nonprofit leaders.For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how globalization influences effective leadership. Think about competitive advantages and barriers associated with globalization.With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 3 a description of at least three implications of contracting for public and/or nonprofit managers and leaders. Then analyze the implications of globalization for public and/or nonprofit managers and leaders. Provide specific examples.

This is part 4 of your evidence-based practice project (EBP).  In this assignment, you will refer back to assignment you completed in previous weeks, as this assignment will build upon it. You’ll be providing a solution to a clinical problem using the EBP process. For this assignment, you will create a 13-16 slide PowerPoint, excluding the title and reference slides, covering the items below. This should be a high-level overview of what you’ve already discussed in your papers. Be sure to summarize your information (do not simply copy and paste). Describe the select EBP problem List the created PICOT question Provide a high-level overview of the articles you found, organizing them by design (i.e.; qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods) Summarize the search strategy you used to locate the articles. Discuss what changes could be made as a result of these findings Describe strategies and resources you would use to implement a change based on these findings Describe areas of opportunity for future research and EBP related to your topic Provide a conclusion and discussion of next steps This should be a high-level overview of what you’ve already discussed in your papers. Be sure to summarize your information (do not simply copy and paste from previous papers). Your PowerPoint slides should be bullet points and/or images and not paragraphs of text. Descriptions and explanations will be written in the “speaker notes” section of the PowerPoint slides. In other words, use the “notes” section to write out what you would say if you were presenting the slides to a live audience. You will be graded on presentation and layout. Be sure to not overcrowd your slides (follow the 7x7 Rule- No more than 7 bullet points per slide and no more than 7 words per bullet point). Finally, your background should be consistent throughout, and ensure your slides are readable. Do not use too many graphics either.
