BUS FP4802 Capella University The Value of Dialogue Discussion

Question Description
Write a minimum of two pages in which you analyze how an organization can use ground rules and dialogue to grow as a learning organization. The team learning discipline helps a team sustain and reinforce its learning, and increases the capacity to act synergistically and learn how to learn. Dialogue is a fundamental skill in the discipline of team learning, and is essential to the effective practice of the other learning disciplines. Dialogue makes meaningful, shared vision building possible. It makes systemic insight possible by facilitating reflection and inquiry in work groups. Consequently, it is important to understand the value and nature of dialogue, and how it differs from other forms of conversation. SHOWLESS By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Apply change management interventions.
Define and compare debate, discussion, and dialogue.
Analyze the value of dialogue in helping teams learn and change.
Describe the ground rules required to reach conversational level in a dialogue.
Analyze learning related to designing an effective dialogue session.

Context
Learning teams develop ground rules for truth telling, time usage, decision-making processes, and domains; to create a safe conversational environment that allows a team to take risks, make mistakes, forgive, and recover. This assessment provides you an opportunity to analyze the elements of skillful dialogue in a learning team, increasing the ability to problem solve, create new knowledge, deliberate, and build relationships with other teams and customers.

Questions to Consider
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.
Review The Ladder of Inference multimedia piece in the Resources. Consider the meaning of this concept and your experience using it. What suggestions do you have for self-improvement when using it next time? How might the ladder of inference apply to communication within an organization? How might it diminish effectiveness in terms of organizational learning? Can dialogue play a useful role? If so, how?
Consider how dialogue can allow ostensibly conflicting allegiances or differences (for example, unionized labor and management) while allowing an organization to learn as a common entity.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

“The DNP focuses on preparing nurses to become expert clinicians by utilizing research and knowledge to create more efficient practices and better patient outcomes. While PhD-prepared nurses are concerned with the discovery of new knowledge, DNP-prepared nurses are concerned with the application of new knowledge and research to practice in order to improve health care and patient outcomes “(J. Thomas) (2018). I believe that these two complement each other and that it is amazing that nurses can advance so far in their careers and hold so many different titles and degrees.
“A doctor of nursing practice (DNP) is a clinical practice degree, whereas a doctor of philosophy in nursing (PhD) is a research degree. Nurse Practitioners can obtain either degree, but a DNP is preferred. Individuals who hold a Master’s degree in Nursing Education are likely to pursue a PhD “(K. Gaines) (2019, September 11).

My current goal is to return to school to obtain my NP and work in Women’s Health after finishing my BSN. If I decide to continue my education, I believe that obtaining a DNP would be the best fit for an NP because it is more clinical than a PhD in nursing. School is a significant commitment, and after completing my BSN, I hope to take a break and spend my free time with my family.

When nurses reach the doctorate level of nursing education, they have several options. Obtaining a PhD in nursing or a DNP are two of these options. A doctorate in nursing practice (DNP) is a doctorate degree for advanced practicing nurses. It enables them to practice as nurse practitioners and broadens their scope of practice beyond that of a registered nurse (Neal-Boylan, 2019). A PhD in nursing, on the other hand, is more focused on research and leadership within the nursing field (Neal-Boylan, 2019). Nurses who pursue a PhD can work in academia, research, or administration (Neal-Boylan, 2019). PhD programs emphasize nursing science and the advancement of nursing knowledge and standards of practice. DNP programs are designed to prepare nurses for advanced clinical practice (Thomas, 2018).

If I were to continue my nursing education at the doctorate level, I would pursue a DNP. I am very interested in primary care and hope to one day work as a family nurse practitioner. Both degrees are extremely valuable in the nursing field, but the DNP is more in line with my interests in nursing. I want to assist people in living the healthiest lives possible, and I believe that much of health can be addressed at the primary care level.
