Strategic Planning and Organizational Restructuring  

Imagine  you are the HR director of a growing international staffing  organization that services both North America and South America. The CEO  has come to grips with the fact that the HR group, which is currently  decentralized, is in need of restructuring to account for the expected  increase in revenues. The CEO has asked for your opinion on how to best  restructure the firm. Based upon your knowledge, recommend an  organizational structure (e.g., functional, matrix, or projectized)  that will provide growth for the firm. Also, assess the influence that  this project will have on the customers (who are located throughout the  Americas) that are serviced by the HR group.

 Describe a current global trend example  social media, aging workforce, virtual workplace, global office, that might impact   McCormick & Company  and specifically its Human Resources Department/ or Division’s HR strategies. 

Imagine that some of your colleagues mention using cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and reality therapy. Your colleagues continue to say that based on their experiences, they really like these therapies and that they appear to work. Your instincts also tell you that perhaps they might be helpful for your client in your case study. However, from Week 1, you recall that experiences and instincts as sources of knowledge are quite limited because they are biased. Instead, it is important to utilize existing research and data to support your choices of interventions. Theory helps inform the evidence-based practice process that should guide social workers’ practice.

In this Discussion, you examine the research related to a therapy based on cognitive or cognitive behavior theory to determine its effectiveness.

To prepare:

• Recall the client from the case study you have been using in this course. You will apply your research for this Discussion to that client.
• Select one therapy from the following: cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or reality therapy.
• Conduct a search in the Walden Library for one peer-reviewed research study about the effectiveness of the therapy you selected.
  • Note: You must select a study that has not already been used by a colleague in the Discussion. Each student is required to identify a unique research study.
• Remember when looking for studies to take into account your client’s age and developmental stage and presenting problem.

Post:

• Provide the reference for the study you found using APA guidelines.
• Briefly paraphrase, in 2 to 3 sentences, the methodological context (i.e., research method, how data was collected, and the instruments used) of the study and the findings.
• Evaluate the findings in terms of its applicability or appropriateness for the client in your case study.
• Determine whether you would use or not use the therapy you selected for the client in your selected case study (consider how culturally relevant it is, how aligned it is with social work ethics, etc.) and explain why.
