CompetencyIn this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:Examine the public policy development processScenarioYou work as the deputy director for your local city planning department, but you have been serving as the interim department head while the city manager searches for a new director. After several months of searching, an exciting candidate named Susan Greenfield accepted the city’s offer and just started in her new role. Susan brings a lot of experience, having worked for three other planning departments in much larger communities, and you and your colleagues are excited about the new energy and perspective she will bring. In her previous experiences, she has successfully leveraged planning assets to support other public efforts. As part of that work, she has used a specific policy development framework with great success.One of your first assigned tasks is to complete a policy comparative analysis in which you must analyze the planning department’s most recent policy development project and compare what happened in that case to the framework Susan is bringing to the table. In this way, she hopes to better understand the department’s history and existing way of doing things, as well as prepare you, as her deputy, to apply her framework moving forward.DirectionsTo that end, Susan has provided you with a matrix organizer to structure your comparative analysis. However, she also promotes innovation and creative thinking, so you are encouraged to modify this format to improve communication of the key ideas, as needed. If you do modify the format of your deliverable, be sure that the final product still contains the following elements:Establish a context for your review. Include a brief description of the rationale for the policy, the outcomes of the process, and any other background information on the case that will be helpful for your boss to interpret your analysis.Begin your comparative analysis by organizing the relevant details of the case into the various stages of your boss’s policy development framework. Be sure to respond to the following questions for each of the stages:Who were the specific stakeholders (i.e., names of people or organizations) and how were they involved during that stage?To what extent was evidence presented or applied by policy advocates and/or other stakeholders during that stage?What were the ethical considerations present during that stage?Then, evaluate the extent to which the case reflects and aligns with the ideal policy development framework. In other words, rate each stage on a scale from 0–4 (with 0 being “not present in the case” and 4 being “perfectly illustrates the ideal”), and defend your assessment by providing specific examples that reference and draw comparisons to the ideal process.Based on your evaluation, make specific recommendations that are informed by the ideal policy development framework. In other words, if the ideal stage is represented in the case, provide recommendations on how to avoid common problems within that stage. If the stage is missing, provide recommendations on how it could have been incorporated.Finally, cite the resources that support your assessment of the given stage. You should have a minimum of one citation per stage.What to SubmitEvery project has a deliverable or deliverables, which are the files that must be submitted before your project can be assessed. For this project, you must submit the following:Policy Comparative AnalysisYour policy comparative analysis may be submitted using the matrix organizer or in an alternatively formatted document. It should be approximately 800–1200 words in length and appropriately cite all references.Matrix Organizer- see attached down below!You may choose to format your submission using this matrix organizer. However, you are encouraged to modify this format to improve communication of the key ideas, as needed and appropriately cite all references.Reference List For each source that you cite, you need to include the author’s name, the publication year, the title of the source, and the location of the source in a References section at the end of your work. in-text citation(s) and sources appropriately.Supporting MaterialsThe following resource(s) may help support your work on the project:Case Material: Ideal Policy Development Framework- see attachedUse this as a reference describing the various stages of the ideal policy development framework for your comparative analysis.Case Material: Planning Department Case: The 2040 Plan for Northwest Indiana: How Public Engagement Guided the Formation of the Plan- see attached

CompetencyUtilize art elements in real-world contexts and the workplace.ScenarioYour workplace has a line in its budget for team building events outside of work. In the past, your supervisor has passed out free tickets to minor league baseball games, passes to an amusement park, and even rented a lodge for a hunting retreat.This year, your coworkers and you received an email asking what kind of team building event you would like to attend. You responded that you would like to attend the world-renowned Flamenco dance performance that will take place in your city in a few months. You also included a note that you know your company is opening up an office in Spain, so it might be good for your company to take the opportunity to learn more about the culture.Impressed with your amazing idea, your supervisor asks you to plan one more art event for your workplace.InstructionsWrite a one - two page proposal for an art event for your workplace. The proposal should contain the following details about what kind of art event it will be:Where the event will take place—for example, an art show in your workplace lobby, or a trip to the theater.Who the artist(s) are with details of their accomplishments.Budget for the event. (Could be as simple as ticket prices and transportation, or could be a catered art opening.)Rationale for how your company can potentially benefit from this art event.NOTE - Be sure the documents display proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure.
