Organizational Professional Development

“The evolution of Informed Systems recognizes that knowledge emerges through exchange of resources, ideas, and experiences” (Somerville et al., 2019, p. 2). How does your organization promote diversity and corporate social responsibility in professional development? In this assignment, you will develop a concept map and a 2-page summary showing professional development opportunities at your organization. You will analyze how they address corporate social responsibility and/or DEI. You will discuss how they meet 21st-century organizational challenges and identify gaps and opportunity areas. Choose the same organization you analyzed in the Module 2 assignment. Step 1 Research your organization’s professional development opportunities related to diversity and corporate social responsibility (e.g., DEI training, sustainability workshops). Analyze the professional development through a framework or theory of your choice. For example, you could use the triple-bottom-line framework or apply transformational leadership theory. Discuss how the professional development opportunities meet 21st-century organizational challenges. Identify gaps and opportunity areas for professional development. Do not disclose the names of organizations or individuals. Step 2 Connect your research findings to evidence that supports the types of professional development you found or identified as missing and needed. Consider the Resources listed below. Step 3 Create a concept map that illustrates your research findings and recommendations for new training for any identified gaps. Include APA-formatted in-text citations. See the ACE Digital Learning Connections in the Digital Tools Center for tips and resources on creating a concept map. Step 4 Summarize your findings from the concept map in an APA-formatted, 2-page essay. Step 5 Submit your APA title page, 2-page summary, and reference page. Include the concept map as an appendix to the summary.
