ASSESSMENT
As a supervisor in criminal justice, you will need to be able to identify challenges to organizational structure and systems and propose evidence-based solutions to management.
Scenario
Leadership has invited you to speak at an upcoming meeting to share your recommendations on mitigating challenges with the organization’s structure and systems. For this assignment, you will prepare the presentation that you would give at the meeting.
Select an example of a criminal justice organization at the local, state, or federal level. Use this organization’s structure as an example context for your presentation; you will not need to know the challenges facing the organization in real life.
Select 3 organizational challenges from the list below that this kind of organization might face. Cite at least 2 scholarly sources in your presentation in addition to the organization’s website.
Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation as if you were a supervisor examining problems and proposing solutions within the organization.
Your presentation should include the following information supported by evidence of challenges to the organization’s structure and systems:
Describe the selected criminal justice organization that is currently undergoing organizational challenges.
Summarize 3 organizational challenges the organization might experience. Discuss how these organizational challenges affect the structure and systems of the organization.
Explain how the organization has addressed cultural and gender challenges at the leadership level.
Apply a different philosophy or practice for effective organizational behavior leadership to each of the 3 challenges. Recommend a strategy for preventing or reducing each organizational challenge based on the philosophy or practice.
