Credentialing and the NOHS and BC-HSP codes of ethics

Order Description READ: http://www.cce-global.org/Prof/Ethics http://www.nationalhumanservices.org/ethical-standards-for-hs-professionals In this assignment we will look at two codes of ethics, both of which are directed to human services professionals. Links to both of these codes are given with this assignment. The code of ethics shown on the website of the National Organization for Human Services is the code most often cited and taught in human services education programs. The current Ethical Standards document is the result of twenty years of development, beginning with a survey of the organization’s constituents that served as the basis for a proposed code of ethics. After several years of review and deliberation, both the NOHS and its sister organization, CSHSE, adopted this code of ethics in 1996. More recently, the code found at http://www.cce-global.org/Prof/Ethics (click on Code of Ethics under Human Services- Board Certified Practitioner in the blue box on the right to open the document) was created by the Center for Credentialing and Education. This was done in conjunction with the development of a national credential for human service professionals, the Human Services–Board Certified Practitioner designation. As you can see, both the NOHS and CSHSE sanction this code and it is clear that professionals holding the HS-BCP credential are expected to adhere to it. It is highly unusual for an organization to approve of two different codes for the same profession. By examining these two codes we can add to our understanding of the nature of codes of ethics, their purposes, and how they are applied in the self-regulation of a profession. 1. What differences do you see in the two codes of ethics? You might consider their length and detail, but look also at the general tone and the overall nature of the expectations of those who adhere to each code. How would you characterize each code? 2. What is the HS-BCP code designed to do? What is the purpose of the NOHS Ethical Standards? In what way does each code try to meets its specific purpose? In what ways is each code limited in its capacity to serve the multiple purposes of a code of ethics? 3. Try to imagine what will happen in the future in regard to ethics in human services. Do you think one of these codes will prevail? Which one, and why? Do you think both will be scrapped and a unified code will be written? What do you think will be the effect on the human services profession if it continues to maintain two codes of ethics? 23. Topic: Entrepreneurial Marketing Order Description Guideline ? The Words limit is 1000-1100 words(does not include Exhibits) 1- Critical Issues 3-5 In order to (definition of success)( company X must address the following: • How to (solve problem/take advantage of opportunity) so that (consequence) • How to (solve problem/take advantage of opportunity) so that (consequence) • How to (solve problem/take advantage of opportunity) so that (consequence) Notes • How did you get to the definition of success (exhibit) • No need to provide background of the case • 3-5 critical issues that must be resolved within the next two years to survive/thrive • Issues are solution-neutral • Issues describe root causes not symptoms • If you define the issues incorrectly, you are solving the wrong problems. • Avoid confusing solutions with issues. • Dig deeper to get to the critical issue. • Avoid HR focused issues. • Avoid presenting options. 2- Analysis ( first paragraph should be for critical issues #1, paragraph 2 for critical issues #2 , paragraph 3 for critical issues #3,…………) • How did we get here? Why are things the way they are? • Provide conclusions of analysis with details in the exhibits (e.g SWOT, Porters, Segmentation, Financial analysis, …) • Why are the issues critical? Notes • Use full sentences and paragraphs not point form • Analyze, don’t summarize • Avoid repeating too much case information. Focus on the analysis using your analytical tools and the corresponding insights. • Be careful not to provide a solution as a critical issue, then justify the solution in the analysis, and then provide the same option later in the report. • In order to get at the critical issues, you need to use a greater number of analytical tools. • Avoid HR focused discussions. • There should be accompanying exhibit support for the analytical tool related to discussion at hand. 3- Decision Criteria • How will you choose among options? • What would the perfect solution look like? • Examples: Marketing (right for the market), operational (feasible), financial (viable) and ethical criteria • Set decision standards, musts and wants 4- Options • Discuss options and findings from analysis with details in exhibits • Compare against criteria and discuss the pros and cons. Note: • You must have accompanying exhibit support, Quantitative support. • Risk assessment for all options? • Did you assess all of your options against your decision criteria you identified earlier using quantification when required? • Avoid HR focused solutions 5- Recommendation and Action • Which option do you recommend • How will you address weaknesses, negative consequences of this option • What are the key firsts steps to implement your recommendation Notes • Recommendation should flow logically from analysis, criteria and options • No new analysis can be entered here • Strategy is about making choices: what to do and what Not to do. • Quantitative support • If you have a combined solution, you need a final financial consequence with accompanying exhibit support. • Risk assessment? 6- Action Plan • Try to break your chart out into greater detail as possible . 7- Exhibits 7-15 (about 4 pages) ( write a short conclusion under the exhibit), each exhibit must support the information you present in the report. If you do not refer to the exhibit in your report, it should not be included. (e.g SWOT, Porters, Segmentation, Financial analysis, value chain , tables or charts……) Note: • You need a greater mix of analytical tools to help you get to the critical issues, as well as the option analysis. • Don’t forget to include conclusion statement in every exhibit Grading Rubric for Case Reports
