Kristen,
You provided a great real world example. The process you are currently dealing with appears to be highly complex when it comes to financial systems and approvals for projects. I think this is a common scenario in most workplaces today which can be challenging and incredibly frustrating. I currently work in a regional medical center where…[Read more] -
Mary (Liz) Deleener commented on the post, Reading Question: Systems Thinking, on the site 9 years, 7 months ago
I am going to use an example of systems thinking that is currently being used at workplaces such as large regional medical centers. In the hospital setting, systems thinking is used on a continuous basis to address complex problems and situations on various levels across the organization. The following is an example.
A medical center owns 20% of…[Read more] -

For this reading question, I decided to discuss the box known as revenue streams and relate it to my current workplace which is a hospital. I think people sometimes overlook the fact that a hospital is a business, one that needs to remain financially stable and generate revenue. When I first transitioned from a nurse coordinator to a nurse…[Read more]

I think the new prioritization process for handling priorities at Volkswagen is a step in the right direction and a substantial improvement from the old system. Prior to this initiative, accountability for managing IT was shared among numerous providers with no sole organizational unit in control of the overall process. The new process is more…[Read more]

Finding an adequate balance between finances and quality can be incredibly challenging for any business and is seen throughout many organizations. While most businesses want to carry out every “critical” project for the sake of maintaining continued success and quality, the allotted financial budget can prevent this from occurring. This is whe…[Read more]

Corey,
First impressions can really determine whether or not you use a service again especially an app such as Uber. I also had a bad first experience with Uber, but ultimately gave the app another shot as I have found it more convenient than taxi use. I have heard of other alternatives such as Lyft, but not the Flywheel app. I will have to…[Read more]

Cataldo,
I also want more insight on the Yelp filter and what variables play into which reviews stay and which ones are removed or displaced to another page as Yelp claims. This article I found gives some idea of what goes into the filtering process, but I agree it is not very clear.…[Read more]

Jordan,
You brought up some great points as you elaborated on how people can be the weakest link when it comes to securing data. One of the biggest errors that I found in the Sunnylake case was related to human negligence. It amazes me that Paul Layman had the initial email threat right under his nose and chose to ignore it. Education and…[Read more]

Diane,
These are all great tips. I found an additional article that elaborates on how Airbnb should have handled this crisis and the lessons learned that are very similar to what you have written about. Similar to your recommendations, they also stated that Airbnb should have released a formal statement acknowledging the event rather than…[Read more]

I personally was not aware that Yelp filtered reviews through an algorithmic process in order to prevent the site from being considered a “laissez-faire” website that lacks interference or oversight. Yelp claims that they never delete the reviews, but rather they use an automated process that moves the users’ reviews from the user page to the…[Read more]

Premier online marketplaces and online reservation systems have clearly become the wave of the future for today’s consumer. Nearly every type of service from room rentals to transportation can have an online transaction facilitated. In the case study regarding Airbnb, security precautions, the disclosure of extensive, detailed consumer and service…[Read more]

One of my first jobs as a registered nurse was at a hospital that was in the midst of transitioning from paper documentation to EMRs. To this day, I remember the resistance, the continuous questioning, and security issues and concerns that arose from both nurses and physicians.The Sunnylake case study is a primary example of this same type of…[Read more]

I have never heard of this app and I am always checking the weather forecast on weather.com. This app sounds a lot better. I am going to have to check it out.

I have several apps that I love using. Three of my favorite apps are for music enjoyment which includes Pandora and SoundCloud. I love searching new “radio stations” for my Pandora. You can literally type in any song or artist and it will generate a radio station that has it and additional music that is similar. I am not a fan of the commercials…[Read more]
