 Individual Reflection – (20%) Throughout the term we have discussed the importance of strategic decision-making, especially in the world of procurement. We have also discussed that there is rarely a “right” decision and that even when based in logical frameworks, tools, and analysis, most strategic decisions are not fully objective. The personal experience, expertise, values and judgement of team members shape decision-making in procurement and supply chain roles.   The purpose of this assessment is to understand yourself as a decision-maker. You will be asked to reflect on: 1.      The values/skills/perspectives/influences that shape you  2.      How those factors may influence your strategic decisions, especially in supply chain/procurement roles    This assessment is not evaluating whether your values, skills, perspectives and influences are “correct” or “good.” Instead, it evaluates your ability to critically reflect on how personal attributes shape professional judgement and decision-making.   Required Structure and Content   Part 1 – Personal Identity Map (Visual Component)   Create a visual “Personal Identity Map” that explores some of the factors that shape you. Your visual should include the following three categories:   1.  What I Value (Values)   Identify the personal values or principles that are important to you. Examples may include:   fairness teamwork creativity independence community determination achievement / recognition honesty / integrity stability / security adventure loyalty social responsibility growth empathy respect patience courage love excitement   2.  What I’m Good At (Skills/Strengths)   Identify personal strengths, abilities, or qualities that you associate with yourself and/or how you contribute to your family, friends, job, community, etc. Examples may include:   communication leadership self-awareness analytical thinking organization empathy creativity resilience adaptability collaboration problem-solving organization technical abilities sports & wellness building/engineering           3.  What Shapes Me (Influences)   Identify what shapes your perspective, values, or development. Examples may include:   family culture religion education sport hobbies work experiences travel community personal challenges financial experiences music or creative activities friendships media   How to present this section: Your visual should help you organize your thoughts and demonstrate meaningful reflection   The visual may take the form of:   a mind map diagram segmented wheel table radar chart infographic layered model compass Venn diagram any structured visual format   The goal is to have a minimum of FIVE words listed in each of the categories. There is no maximum.  Although you are encouraged to be creative in how you present your categories, be sure any words are clear enough to be read. Your visual component is being evaluated on 2 criteria: 1.  Visual layout, presentation and creativity 2.  Effort: quality and completeness   Examples Mind Map Format:                                                                           Compass:                      Some interesting resources:   •        Ikigai                                      •        Schwartz’s 10 Basic Human Values (It’s Wikipedia, but it’s a good overview) •        Values Sorting Exercise       •        Values & Decisions               •        Values & Mind Maps (A bit self-growth focused, but interesting) •        Core Values at Work (A good list of core values at the bottom of the article) Part 2: Written Reflection   Section 1: Identifying the Roots Choose three values, skills, or personal influences identified in your personal identity map.   For each of the three selected: A. Briefly explain what the value, perspective, or skills means to you.        e.g. If you value “loyalty”, what does that mean to you to “value loyalty”?   B. Briefly explain where/how you think this value, perspective, or skill might have developed e.g., family, culture, religion, sport, work experience, education, hobbies, challenges, personal experiences (tell the story), community involvement, etc.   C. Provide at least one specific example of a situation when this value/perspective/skill influenced or shaped a decision you made. This does not have to be profound and you are not being assessed on whether you made the “right” decision.    Try to move beyond general statements. Instead, demonstrate clear connections between your perspective/value/skill, its roots and its impact on decision making. Tell the stories and be specific.   Section 2: Benefits and Risks in the Professional Setting Effective leaders and decision-makers must understand their strengths, their areas for growth and the lens through which they see the world. It is important to reflect on the potential limitations, biases, and trade-offs that may influence their judgement in a professional setting.   In this section, critically reflect on: A. How your values, skills or perspective may positively influence (benefit) your ability to make decisions within a professional supply chain or procurement role.   Ø  Do you value decisiveness? Ø  Were you raised to be outspoken? Ø  Are you good at seeing the “big picture”? Ø  Are you good at being analytical? Ø  Have you had to make big decisions before?   B. Briefly explain 2-3 specific sourcing situations where you may struggle to make a fair decision because it would seem ambiguous to you, or it aligns /conflicts very strongly with your values or priorities.    Ø  What industries or types of companies would I struggle to work with, or for? Ø  What industries or types of companies would I have trouble critically analysing/judging?  Ø  Could my decision-making become too ____________ (risk-averse, overly competitive, highly idealistic, overly cost-focused, etc.)?  Ø  Try to clearly identify potential blind spots, preferences or biases that may skew you towards or away from a particular supplier or industry   Examples of connections (Please DO NOT use a table in your reflection):   Values Where It Developed (Explored in Section 1) Potential Workplace Influence (Explored in Section 2) Teamwork Years playing competitive soccer Preference for collaborative supplier relationships and crossfunctional decision-making Sustainability Undergraduate degree and outdoor experiences Greater focus on environmental impact (especially on marine ecosystems) = may have bias towards or against certain suppliers Financial Security Extended family experiences with financial instability More conservative risk management and inventory decisions = may struggle taking a large financial risk     C. How you may need to adapt when working with people, cultures,

ART CLASS UNIT VI Photo Collage and Analysis This assignment measures your mastery of ULOs 1.1, 1.5, 2.1, 2.3, and 3.4.  Assignment objective: Your goal in this assignment is to create a photo collage and discuss the new meaning created by the collage. Details: The photo collage may be created by hand (cut out pictures and glued together in one image) or created digitally, using PowerPoint or any application that you are comfortable using. For inspiration for your collage, please review the Unit V lesson, Unit V Discussion Board, and look at the Unit VI required reading in your textbook. Please incorporate at least three photographs into one collage. Take a photograph or save the digital work as a JPEG and upload it in the space below.   Select three photographs that have distinct themes, subjects, or moods. Cut out elements from each photograph and combine them to create a new, cohesive image. Be creative with how you arrange the elements to form a new narrative or visual statement.   Requirements:   Use actual photographs only. Since this is our photography unit, your collage must be created from photographs (not illustrations, clipart, AI-generated images, or digitally rendered graphics). This assignment focuses on photographic images as discussed in our course materials. All layers must be visible in your final collage. Your work should clearly show the cut-and-paste or layered construction process; do not use blending, smoothing, or AI generation tools that hide the individual components. We should be able to see where one image ends and another begins. If you source photographs from the internet, you must provide complete references (including URLs) for each photograph used. Include these references at the end of your written analysis. Do not use AI image generation or AI blending tools to create your collage. This assignment requires you to design the collage by manually selecting, cutting, and layering photographs yourself.   For the analysis, write a short paragraph (approximately 200 words) discussing the new meaning created by the collage.   Consider the following points in your analysis:   Original Context: Briefly describe the original context and meaning of each photograph before they were combined. New Interpretation: Explain how the new collage changes the meaning of the original photographs. Emotional and Conceptual Impact: Discuss any new emotions, concepts, or narratives that emerge from the combination of the two images. Visual Elements: Mention any notable visual elements (such as color, line, space, time) and design principles (such as unity, variety, balance) that contribute to the new meaning.   This assignment encourages creativity, critical thinking, and an appreciation of how art can transform and reinterpret visual elements to convey new meanings.   The original, unaltered images used to create your collage must also be included with your submission.   Example   Collage Description:   Photograph 1: A serene landscape with a calm river and lush greenery. Photograph 2: A bustling city street with tall buildings and crowds of people.   Collage Creation:   The river from the landscape photo flows into the city street, blending natural and urban elements.   Paragraph Analysis:   “The original photograph of the peaceful landscape conveys calm tranquility and the beauty of nature, while the city street photo captures the energy and bustle of urban life. By combining the two, the new collage creates variety that highlights the contrast between the natural world and human development. The river flowing through the city street introduces a sense of peace amidst the chaos, suggesting harmony between nature and urbanization. This collage alters the individual meanings of the original photos and also invites viewers to reflect on the relationship between nature and modern cities.”   Image References:   Landscape photograph: [Photographer name]. (Year). [Title]. [URL] City street photograph: [Photographer name]. (Year). [Title]. [URL]       UNIT VII JOURNAL For this journal assignment, you will analyze graphic design examples from your daily life.   Documentation Required:   Take one photograph that shows you with three different examples of graphic design from your home, pantry, or local environment. Your examples should demonstrate multiple aspects of graphic design (typography, color, layout, imagery, symbols/logos working together). Examples include product packaging, advertisements, flyers, or menus. Avoid minimally designed items with only a simple logo or single design element.   Compare and analyze your three examples. Explain which design is most effective and why, using specific observations and vocabulary from the textbook. Discuss how each design is persuasive and visually captivating by pointing out specific visual information such as color, type, design, layout, etc., and describing how those components have been used. You can also identify unsuccessful designs and describe the ineffective qualities. You may refer to the Unit VII Lesson as an example of the level of detail your descriptions should include.   Your journal entry must be at least 450 words in length. Be sure to incorporate language, concepts, and vocabulary from the textbook in your response. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. The Art Appreciation LibGuide and the Developing Keywords for Library Searches tutorials are available to help you locate and select your required library source. All sources used must have citations and resources formatted in proper APA Style.         HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT CLASS   UNIT V1 POWERPOINT PRESENTATION   This 10-slide PowerPoint presentation measures your mastery of ULOs 1.6, 1.7, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, and 3.2.   In this assignment, you will research and present a leadership style of your choice and discuss how it influences team effectiveness within a health care setting in a recorded PowerPoint presentation.
