During this course, you will develop materials that support the human resource process from acquiring, developing, and leveraging on employee strengths. This project is broken into four separate assignments due in Topics 2, 3, 5, and 7. While you are only required to submit each assignment in its respective topic, you will submit a reflection assignment that provides a brief overview of the learning outcomes from your assignment feedback. In this assignment, you are conducting a needs assessment and developing two job descriptions for your current organization or a preapproved organization that you have access to interact with in order to complete this assignment. If you are not currently in an organization, please inform your instructor of the organization you will use to complete this project. They must approve your selection prior to beginning your assignment and you must have the ability to observe employees and functions within that organization. Needs Assessment Observe and assess the state of your current organization, or another pre-selected organization. A needs assessment is necessary to identify areas for potential growth, both at the employee and organizational level. If you are not in a position to look holistically at your organization, you can focus on a department or team within the organization. Use the "Needs Assessment Matrix" resource to complete your needs assessment. You are required to analyze functions, trainings, jobs, and employment needs in order to complete your matrix and prepare for the next part of this assignment. Job Descriptions Once your needs assessment is complete, you are required to select two positions in your organization and develop a one-page detailed job description for each position. It is recommended that you take the time to conduct a job analysis and observe current employees in the selected positions to accurately depict the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics that must be incorporated into the job descriptions. If you are unable to observe, do your best to accurately depict the specific functions of the job. You will submit the completed "Needs Assessment Matrix" and both job descriptions for this assignment. APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

A construction crew does not begin to build a new house without the architect’s blueprint. Though issues may arise during construction that require changes to the blueprint, a blueprint serves as the necessary plan for construction and helps the crew visualize and track the impact of any changes. Most business initiatives begin with some sort of plan, though type and quality vary. As a business professional, you may have heard of the value of strategic planning and may have even been part of a strategic planning process. Yet, many independent scholars begin a doctoral program without a clear vision or plan for achieving their goals.Detailing your goals and developing a plan in writing provides you with a document to which you can refer in order to maintain your focus. Having a plan in place will help you visualize the impact of challenges and opportunities that arise so that you can make changes to your plans and goals as often as necessary to ensure your personal and professional satisfaction and success.To prepare for this Assignment, consider the personal SWOT analysis you completed and the goals you developed in Week 1. Reflect upon your experiences so far in this program and any insights you have gained since you created those goals. In addition, review your PLN plan from Week 4 and the results of “The New Drivers of Leadership” Self-Assessment that you completed this week. Finally, return to the interactive media “Voices of DBA Students.” This time, focus on the independent scholars’ descriptions of their goals, their plans, and the challenges they faced in achieving their goals. You will use the Professional Development Plan template to complete this Assignment.By Day 7Submit a 5- to 7-page (excluding a title page and References section) Professional Development Plan (PDP).

Discussion Topic: Corporate Entrepreneurship Please refer to Exhibit 14.7, Who Is The Entrepreneur? In your text, the top right-hand quadrant defines an entrepreneur as being one who has high creativity and innovativeness but not necessarily high management skills and business know-how (Pearce & Robinson, 2013, p. 414). What is intrapreneurship and how is it best enabled? Spend some time to review the responses of your fellow learners and provide feedback and challenge them. Cite your sources in APA format.
