Vanguard Swot Incident Analysis
After the three speed date presentations on Vanguard’s work with Farm Aid, the Voice Awards, and the APA, I was so impressed by the capabilities of every one of the communicators and strategies working for Vanguard. To me, all these Vanguardians seem to wear the three sets of hats of a cause consult, while everyone has different personalities and unique traits in a professional working environment.
The first mini-presentation my group had was with Brittany and Sangeetha and both of them were well acquainted with technical, interpersonal, and consulting skills as I could immediately find this out during the presentation. They talked really really fast, but their presentation was filled with details and enlightening points. For example, one inspiring thing I remember was when they said they don’t worry about leveraging media outlets or adding momentum to the farmer’s concert, but the more important thing is always to put the Farm Aid’s mission first. I think this demonstrated a

This culture might be intentionally created by Maria Rodriguez, the founder of Vanguard communications. Brenda talked about her story when one time, she wanted to leave Vanguard for something new, Maria asked her to stay and just do the new things here in Vanguard if she wants. From this story, I can see why all of them are wearing the different hats of a consultant and every Vanguardian has the ability to accomplish works with expertise and maintain good business relationship in the long term. Reflecting on this valuable field trip, I feel a strong will to work as a cause consultant in an agency like Vanguard. I have been passionate about volunteer works and cause-related organizations, but I wasn’t able to have too much exposure to these areas, except some volunteer experiences in childhood. I wish to gain more experience in this field in the

    The organization that I have chosen to do my SWOT analysis on is the New Orleans Saints football team. They are among the most successful teams of this decade but not ranked very high as far as most lucrative organizations in the National Football League. They are currently ranked 23rd among the 30 active teams in the national football league. The organization was formed and became a professional football team in 1967. The team got its nickname due to its founding being on All Saints Day on November 1, 1967. The team initially one of the weaker franchises in the league. It didn’t win many games and struggled to sell out games. They have won one Super Bowl title, 5 Division Championships, and made only 9 playoff appearances in its 46 year existence. The ultimate goal of this organization is to win football games and generate revenue by selling tickets and merchandise.…

    AARP was one of the largest, most well known nonprofit organizations in the United States. Its membership base exceeded 38 million individuals, by far the largest nonprofit membership base in the country (see AARP case pg.1). It developed activities in the commercial, charitable, and political arenas, and adopted a truly cross-sector approach to achieving its mission to “enhance the quality of life for all as we age.”(see AARP case pg.1) Social impact, member value, and revenue were its triple bottom line which was measured to progress against this mission. Social impact included objectives of financial security, health security, and livable communities that AARP believed would improve older Americans’ quality of life. Member value provided access to products, services, programs, and publications that were unique in the marketplace and would deliver economic value to members. Revenues were generated from a royalty on the sale of products by the providers and from membership fees, which were reinvested to fund the social impact and member value objectives (see AARP case pg.1). However, AARP felt it was underappreciated by the public, and received relatively little attention from journalists, thought leaders, and academics for its enterprising approach. Moreover, it also faced the public relations challenge which was the controversy over the fundamental principles of its cross-sector model. New competitors’ emerging was another important issue which would threat AARP’s business (see AARP case pg.2).…

    Although ADP (Automatic Data Processing) is one of the leading providers of business outsourcing solutions, it has weaknesses that negatively affect the company. One significant aspect of ADP is that the company has clients in many foreign countries, but less than only 20% of ADP’s revenues come from other regions of the world. The company has been majorly focusing on customers’ needs here in the US, keeping their clients up to date with the current laws and regulations (their HR department) and making payroll processing convenient. What they lack, though, is a diversified geographic. It’s important to concentrate on the US operations, but other countries have specific issues that may need to be handled differently. If ADP wants to expand and take full advantage of their services, they ought to pay more attention to their geographic diversification.…

    Deciding which non-profit organization was difficult as there were many that influence the community in a fashion that I identify with and would like to contribute. Choosing RSVP was based on it being a volunteer program. Although it is a national program its local mission is to recruit, train and place volunteers at the local level. It provides volunteers that lead, inspire and change the world. The paper collects the experiences of RSVP staff and director, its station recipients and volunteers—who all have a unique experience in contributing to the organization and agencies that are directly changed by the volunteers which provide a service.…

    One of my favorite activities that we did in class was the orange activity. It was really interesting because everyone brings an orange and what we did was mixed it all up. Then we had to write down details of our orange and then find it. It showed that there could be hundreds of oranges, which most may have similar shape, size, and color, but somehow they are all different. This activity proved that some people may have the same features, but everyone is different. Inside and out people have their own story and life experience. Another example of what changed my attitude would be the presentation by Jesse Billauer. His story was very inspiring because although he is not able to surf on his legs he still goes into the water. That is inspiring because he did not let his accident stop him from going in the water and doing what he loves. His presentation made me appreciate life and I am thankful for everything I have. Also, I want to experience more in life and be able to look back and be able to say “ooh I did that”. Another presenter named Jeremy, who spoke in our class was a great presenter. With Jeremy he is partly blind. He cannot see the center of where ever he is looking at. There was one main thing that Jeremy said during his presentation that really caught my attention, which was when he explained that if he was offered to get his vision back he would not. He explained that he would not want to have full vision because he would not appreciate life as much as he does now. I can tell that Jeremy is a humble individual and he loves presenting. He really is making a…

    They are leading by example, but that example is full commitment to service. I am sure the quote, "actions speak louder than words," is familiar. Non-profits or other groups live this quote out every single day. We all can say that we will get around to something, but we do not unless something arises that will benefit us. The reality that a true servant leader has is that they complete what ever they need, even if it means they must sacrifice something about themselves. When our speaker outlined the functionality of her business, she exposed the dominant equality that strengthens her group. With distributed tasks, inferiority is demolished, and the main focus for the clients…

    Refusal Memo

    You were hired two years ago as the Director of Human Resources for Dawson & Engels, the third largest construction company in a Midwestern U.S. city. Shortly after you joined the company, you realized that D&E, while respected for its quality work, was behind the times in terms of being a community citizen. The company’s main competitors proudly featured their many donations of time and money to the community on their websites and in their other marketing materials, but your company was completely mute on the topic, even though many of its employees did community service on a personal basis. You felt that this apparent lack of community mindedness might help explain D&E’s downward slip on the city’s list of top 100 companies while your competitors steadily held their positions. You also felt that both the employees and the city were missing out on productive partnerships. Thus, with the assistance of the marketing director, you worked hard to organize an employee volunteer program.…
