The readings this week discuss the broad context of risk and investigative forensics. Part of risk management is to understand when things go wrong, we need to be able to investigate and report our findings to management. Using this research, or other research you have uncovered discuss in detail how risk and investigate techniques could work to help the organization. ERM helps to protect an organization before an attack, where as forensics investigate technique will help us after an attack – so lets discus both this week.
Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least TWO of the following:

Write around 300 words about the topic, “what has to happen before an Agile project begins?”
Most organizations have processes in place that guide effort throughout a project’s life cycle. Given that Agile generally controls only the work that happens while the project is in execution, talk about those things that still have to happen before the Agile project actually starts work.
A neighbor, who is 3 months pregnant, asks to talk to you because she has felt tired for the last 2 days, has a headache, a rash, and does not feel like eating. You take her vital signs and find that she has a low-grade fever. She has recently traveled to an area where there is risk for Zika virus disease.
To what could your neighbor have been exposed, and how could the exposure have occurred?

How do you judge your ability to accomplish a goal? The concept of self-efficacy refers to beliefs you possess regarding your own capabilities to complete a task successfully. For example, some artists might rate themselves as having a high self-efficacy for painting, but having a low self-efficacy for writing. In most instances, before initiating actions and engaging in behaviors leading to goal attainment, individuals assess the amount of time and effort they are willing to spend in its pursuit. Because human beings tend to choose the road of least resistance, especially when they anticipate difficulties along the way, self-efficacy theory helps them assess their capabilities to reach personal and professional goals successfully.
By practicing principles posited by self-regulation theory, human beings are able to monitor and adjust their behaviors in order to reach personal and professional goals. The ability to choose behaviors likely to lead to goal attainment and reject behaviors likely to lead to goal failure provides individuals with effective self-management skills.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4 a brief explanation of how self-efficacy theory (personal goal setting) contributes to self-regulation theory. Then select one theory (self-efficacy or self-regulation) and explain how that theory might be applied to complete your graduate degree. Be specific and provide examples.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

What position are you?
Did you feel yourself “at the effect” of forces in the system from time to time? (i.e. relatively helpless in the face of huge incoming orders or excess inventories)
Did you find yourself “blaming” the position next to you for your problems?
What do you think the customers were doing?
Is this an example of external events causing problems or the underlying structure of the system causing the problems?

For this homework assignment, you will develop a supporting human resource (HR) plan for an organizational strategy. In a paper of three to four pages (750-1000 words) of text, offer your ideas for a promising HR assignment, development plan, and sustainment plan to support the strategy of an organization expanding to open offices in sub-Sahara Africa. Drawing from appropriate sources, develop a scenario that provides the business of the organization, identify how much expansion is taking place, and identify the countries in which the expansion is taking place.
A useful starting point is estimating the total number of relocating employees that can be supported in the host country.
Will the organization need to establish a commissary (for grocery purchases), banking and currency exchange, and limited urgent-care stations?
Should the organization set assignment lengths of one year or two with families? What does research say is the optimal time period?
If there are families, what would be the children’s school arrangements?
How will the employees be housed?
Do they need an increased housing allowance, or does the organization need to procure its own compound of apartment housing?
Your homework assignment must be at least three pages in length. You are required to use at least one outside source to support your explanation. Your homework assignment response should be formatted in accordance with APA style.
Exposure therapy has long been a method for helping clients address contexts and scenarios that are distressing. For clients who have a fear of elevators or agoraphobia, creating situations in which the client may learn to address their fears may not pose a problem. For others whose situational fears are dangerous or otherwise difficult to recreate in therapy sessions, virtual reality therapy provides a means through which exposure may be created.
Virtual reality therapy shows particular promise in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for individuals exposed to war or violence. It has been applied with civilians as well as military personnel, and with equipment as simple as projectors and headphones to head-mounted displays, controllers shaped like rifles, olfactory inputs, and environments that vibrate (Motraghi et al., 2014). Likewise, virtual reality therapy may be useful in treatment with addiction, where exposure to situations or substances may pose too great a risk of release at a particular point in time. For instance, treatment with a recovering alcoholic might include a virtual bar scene.
For this Discussion, you consider how you might incorporate virtual reality therapy into CBT/REBT, specifically. How could you analyze clients’ thoughts and fears? How could clients challenge their negative thoughts or irrational beliefs in a virtual session?

To Prepare:
Review this week’s Learning Resources as well as the virtual reality media programs.
Search the Walden library for articles to support the incorporation of virtual reality therapy with CBT/REBT.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 4
Post by Day 4 your explanation of how virtual reality therapy can be integrated into CBT/REBT. Use the articles you found in your search as well as your Learning Resources to support your post.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Use proper APA format and citations.
