Wk 6 – IST: Best Practices and Recommendations
Success, whether organizational or individual, seldom comes strictly from individual experience and internal application. An ongoing requirement in today’s fast-changing global business environment is understanding what is successful for others and why, and more importantly, what was not successful and why.
That search should almost always broaden beyond locale, organizations of similar size, or those in the same industry or business area. Best practices are often identified and documented by organizations in the public, private, and military sectors. This assignment is an opportunity to consider why recognized best practices are effective and discuss how they could be applied to your business or organization.
Identify 3 emerging best practices in IST.
Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word essay explaining each practice, including recommendations for how to implement these practices in your organization. The summary should:
- Describe each practice you selected.
- Outline ethical considerations for each practice.
- Summarize the applicability of each practice to your current organizational structure.
- Recommend a specific implementation strategy for each practice.
- Include a CDS-compliant title page.
Develop and include in your essay at least 1 figure or table to support your assignment.
Follow doctoral writing style standards.
Cite at least 3 academic sources to support your recommendations and any figures you did not develop.
Format textual citations and references according to APA guidelines.
