Unit 9 Assignment: Mentors
and Shadowing
The following Professional
Competency Outcome(s) are practiced and assessed in this Assignment:
PC-3.5:Engage in career
development and advancement strategies, including effectivenetworking,
mentoring, and creating a personal brand.
In this Assignment, you are
going to evaluate a specific business process based on criteria detailed below.
If you already have selected a business process, continue using that and skip
to the next paragraph. If you have not yet selected the business process
you will use for these Assignments, then begin by selecting one. Email your
instructor and clearly describe the objective of this process, the
participants, and the strategic significance for the company. The business
process you select must have a clear beginning and an end, with identifiable,
specific steps. Your instructor will confirm that the process you selected is
suitable, or will ask you to select another one.
As the BPM nears
completion, the process team must be concerned not only with the best-fit
roll-out option but also with providing information to the work team that will
handle the completed process or process change to ensure their success. This
often takes the form of mentoring.
Mentoringis most often a one-on-one
activity in which an experienced individual (thementor) provides
guidance and advice to someone with less experience (the mentee). Any mentoring
relationship is, by nature of the process, a close one in which experiences,
knowledge, and skills are shared.
The best way for mentors
and mentees to share information is through a process called shadowing. Shadowing
occurs when the mentee actively watches, follows, and participates in the
activities, processes, or actions that are completed by the mentor. This
provides a visceral and active learning environment.
Consider the BPM process
you have been designing this semester and address the following (support your
answers with research on mentoring and shadowing through the Kaplan Library and
Internet):
1. Should all members of the
BPM team be considered as possible mentors? Explain and justify your answer.
2. Who within the organization
would be the mentee(s) for the institutionalization of the new processes? Make
sure you fully support your conclusions.
3. Identify ways in which
mentors and mentees can use shadowing as a method for tracking and assessing
the ongoing changes within the company after completion of the BPM project.
