Refer to the informations below.
BabyGuard is a small company based in Massachusetts addressing the problem of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) which remains a significant concern due to its elusive causes but the main cause being the position that babies sleep in which causes them to die unexpectedly. SIDS is the leading cause of death in babies between 1 month and 1 year old in the United States1. About 2,500 infants die every year because of SIDS. Newborns who are the most vulnerable to sudden death are those who change position during sleep and remain in prone position. The position of the infant at bedtime is the most modifiable factor to prevent SIDS. It is suggested that the appropriate sleep position for infants is the supine one. The side sleeping position is a risk factor for sudden death for this reason it is not recommended. The reason that BabyGuard is needed is that SIDS is the leading cause of postnatal death in the United States. BabyGuard will help to stop one of the main causes of SIDS. BabyGuard is to create a crib with monitors and sensors that tracks babies sleep movements and prevents them from rolling to their side. In addition, the bed will have a temperature control sensor that will sense the babies temperature and keep them from overheating. Those can measure both room and the baby’s body temperature, alerting caregivers if temperature go beyond safe ranges. Our solution also make sures that the sheets, pillows, and sleepwear are made of materials that are breathable that promote heat dissipation. We hope that through our project we can reduce the number of deaths and enhancing infant safety with the tools and knowledge to create a safter sleep environment for infants.
While the precise cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) remains elusive, adherence to recommended preventive measures has proven to significantly reduce the associated risk. Ongoing research continues to delve into this complex phenomenon, aiming to enhance our understanding and ultimately decrease the incidence of SIDS.
In this landscape of concern and heightened awareness, our revolutionary product, BabyGuard, emerges as a beacon of innovation dedicated to addressing the anxieties surrounding SIDS and amplifying the safety and well-being of infants during their critical sleep periods. Driven by cutting-edge technology, BabyGuard stands as a vigilant guardian, not merely detecting potential risks but actively responding to them.
Key Features of BabyGuard:
Position Sensing Technology:
Harnessing the power of advanced sensors seamlessly integrated into the mattress or bed, our system introduces position sensing technology. This enables real-time tracking of the infant’s sleep position, allowing for continuous monitoring without intrusiveness.
Gentle Vibration Mechanism:
The heart of our system lies in its ability to respond to detected unsafe sleep positions with a gentle vibration mechanism. This calibrated response serves as a subtle prompt, encouraging the baby to adjust their position and mitigating potential risks associated with SIDS.
Real-time Monitoring and Alerts:
One of our system’s standout features is its real-time monitoring capabilities. Parents and caregivers receive immediate updates and alerts directly to their connected devices. This level of connectivity ensures that any deviation from safe sleep conditions is swiftly communicated, allowing for timely and informed intervention.
Connectivity and User-Friendly Interface:
The system has been meticulously designed with user experience in mind. A dedicated mobile application provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface for easy setup, real-time monitoring, and control. This connectivity ensures that parents are seamlessly connected to their infant’s sleep environment.
Safety and Comfort Optimization:
Beyond its primary focus on safety, our system prioritizes the overall comfort of the infant during sleep. The design and functionality aim to create a serene and serene sleep environment, contributing not only to safety but also to the qua
For this assignment, you will assume the role of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) at GGFRT (i.e., you are Lance).
GG Freightways (GGFRT) CIO Organizational Structure Memo Paper
Before you begin this assignment, be sure you have read the “GG Freightways Case Study,” as well as all materials in the course to date. You will also need to review any feedback you received on your IT Strategic Plan #2 assignment.
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply the course concepts to address the organizational changes needed to evolve the information technology (IT) department into a true CIO organization to support the GG Freightways (GGFRT). This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcome to enable you to:
explain the roles and responsibilities of an information technology department to support an organization’s IT strategy
CIO Organizational Structure Memo
For this assignment, you will assume the role of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) at GGFRT (i.e., you are Lance). Since you are GGFRT’s first CIO, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has asked you for a plan for the organizational changes you need to make. One of the first things you realize is that the organization that exists is just an ‘IT Department’ and you know that what GGFRT needs and has hired you to create an organization that fulfills the broad responsibilities of a Chief Information Officer. You know that your proposal needs to be convincing to the CFO in order for you to get the resources you need.
Assignment
You will develop a memorandum addressed to the CFO that explains how you want to change your IT Department into a CIO organization and why. Your memo will address each of the topics listed below, and should be written so that it flows well from one section to the next. In addition to the course materials, at least one external resource (resource other than those provided in the class) must be used. Two or more cited references will earn top credit. Use a separate References page to list just the references you have cited.Remember to use the APA formatting rules and correctly cite and reference your sources with APA format. Use the Grading Rubric to be sure you have covered everything.
Please include the following in your memorandum, ensuring that each section flows well to the next, and that the overall memo creates a compelling justification for your new organizational structure.
1.Introduction and Purpose – Open your memo with a brief (2 or 3 sentences) explanation of why you are writing it. For the introduction, provide some background on the current inefficiencies in the IT Department; thus, the need for reorganization. For the purpose, you are writing to the CFO who must approve the organizational changes.
2.Leadership Philosophy & Management Style – Since you are the CIO and a member of the senior leadership team of GGFRT, it is important for the other members of the team to understand your (1) leadership philosophy and (2) the management style (e.g., Participative, Autocratic, Laissez Faire, etc.) you will use to meet the company’s needs. This should be a short paragraph for each section that ties to the priorities and/or issues outlined in the Case Study and lays the foundation for the organizational structure you will propose below. Refer to course readings and presentations on leadership. This is also a good area in which to do some external research for specific leadership qualities and a management style you will utilize. This is your leadership philosophy and management style, so should not be written from the company and/or department perspective.
3.Internal IT Strategies – To show how your CIO organization will support GGFRT, you will present and explain three (3) internal IT strategies. For Part 2 of your IT Strategic Plan, you provided at least one (1) example of an internal IT strategy. Identify your internal IT strategy from the ITSP #2 assignment, then add two (2) more internal IT strategies, so that you have a total of three (3). The strategies you develop must address people, process and technology – one strategy for each. Describe each of the three strategies, identify if they address people, process or technology and explain how they will help improve the organization’s effectiveness. Refer to the “Creating a Future Vision for the Chief Information Officer” from Week 2 for an explanation of internal and external (business-enabling) IT strategies. A short introductory paragraph should be included before the table’s content. An IT strategy is not the accomplishment of a business objective as that has a business, not IT focus.
Please use the following table, copying/pasting it into your assignment (add lines if needed):
Internal IT Strategy/Description
People, Process, or Technology (state which one or more is applicable)
Explanation of how this IT Strategy will Help Improve the Organization’s Effectiveness
Example: do not use but leave it in the table when completing this section.
Meet compliance requirements by updating current technology or developing/acquiring new technology to meet these various mandates (only one would be chosen from the business strategic objective from ITSP #1).
Technology
By updating the Finance/Accounting System to Precise Financials (to meet SOX requirements), updating current or developing a new Fleet Maintenance System, notification on 10K mandated vehicle safety checks will be timelier, developing technology to capture driver hours, the company will be more proactive in their scheduling of vehicles and drivers in their operations which results in a more efficient day-to-day operations.
4.Current IT Department Structure – Use the information provided in the Case Study to draw an organization chart depicting the current roles and responsibilities of only the 25 IT Department personnel. You may take some liberties in how you align the staff that is described in the Case Study, but all IT staff positions or groups must be included in the structure. Be sure to introduce or explain your organizational chart in the section’s introduction. Refer to course materials for an example of an IT organization chart. You may use the Shapes tool or the SmartArt tool to develop your organizational hierarchy chart, or you may paste in your chart from another drawing tool. Be sure that everyone listed on the chart is placed correctly in relation to whom they report and the people who report to them.
5.New CIO Organization – Explain in a paragraph or two how a CIO Organization is different from an IT Department. Included should be the (1) goals/responsibilities of an IT Department, (2) goals/responsibilities of a CIO Organization, and then (3) the differences between them. Integrate examples from the case study in your response. Be sure to create a transition from the previous section. This may be an area for you to do some external research (a reference should be provided for more credit).
6.Key Services – List and explain three (3) key services (personnel, sub-departments of the CIO Organization) that need to be included in your new CIO organizational structure. You may eliminate functions or positions from your current organizational structure if you believe it will improve your effectiveness and/or efficiency; these should be explained. You should also add (and explain) any functions that you will need in your new CIO organization. Be sure these services are appropriate to your IT strategies (section #3) and note how each relates in your discussion.
Please use the following table, copying/pasting it into your assignment (add lines if needed):
Key Service
State IT Strategy (section #3) /Key Service’s Relationship to IT Strategy
Example: do not use but leave it in the table when completing this section.
Addition to the IT staff of a Compliance Officer
Meet compliance requirements by updating current technology or developing/acquiring new technology to meet those mandates. By adding this position, it will oversee any projects/personnel that would be involved on any projects where compliance mandates are being implemented to ensure that all mandate requirements are covered in the software.
7.New CIO Organization Structure – Briefly explain what changes you will make and why. Draw an organization chart depicting your new CIO organizational structure. Be sure that the key services you listed are covered by the new organizational structure. Be sure that everyone listed on the chart is placed correctly in relation to whom they report and the people who report to them. (Follow the guidelines for drawing the organization chart given above for the current organization.)
8.Key Milestones – Your memo should include three (3) key milestones (tasks or events) associated with accomplishing the changes that you see are needed to change the IT Department into a CIO organization. Each milestone should be briefly described (in a sentence or two) and a target completion date should be shown. In addition, for each milestone you should identify at least one issue or concern you have with accomplishing it. One example using a milestone not related to the organization might be: The milestone is to consolidate all servers into a new data center by February 2021. Some issues might be: (1) a secure data center must be located, (2) it will require significant downtime for the corporate servers, and (3) the initial cost will be high. An example related to the case study is presented below. Consider that the changes begin today; your milestones should be dated in the future. Please ensure you list the key milestones in chronological order (excluding the example). *chronological order refers to steps that follow one another in time (e.g., one must purchase a server before it is used).
Please use the following table, copying/pasting it into your assignment (add lines if needed):
Key Milestone
Target Completion Date (list in chronologic order)
Issue(s)/Concerns Accomplishing the Milestone
Example: do not use but leave it in the table when completing this section.
Hiring of the Compliance Officer
October 31, 2020
Finding a person with the correct skill set with a thorough understanding of both IT and the various agencies’ compliance requirements may be difficult
9.Conclusion – Provide an appropriate closing to your memo. It should summarize some of the key points in the various sections as well as include a statement or two of follow-up with the CFO.

Your job on this project is to identify a problem in an industry that matters to you, to consider a unique solution, and then to write a thoroughly researched white paper on the matter.
Write a paper use inspiration of a lawyer for the topic of the white paper. Look at all links and read all information. Use a white paper template. Make sure to use a minimum of 6 sources and the whole paper needs to be in APA style.
https://writingcenter.uagc.edu/writing-white-paper
White Paper Assignment Prompt
Note: Remember that your “due date” will be the conference you choose the week of 3/18-3/21!
Context
One of the challenges of developing credibility within an industry is showing that you have reliable, trustworthy expertise. For a lot of individuals and businesses, this is a problem that a white paper can solve!
A white paper is a deeply researched document that addresses a problem within an industry, substantiates the problem’s significance, and then offers a well-researched solution. The goal is to not only introduce a solution that may urge others to follow your lead, but also to show your own credibility and expertise. This is not so that a person or company can advertise (though the positive effects of demonstrating expertise may lead to that!). For more information, see the Writing a White PaperLinks to an external site. resource.
Purpose/Project Sequence
Your job on this project is to identify a problem in an industry that matters to you, to consider a unique solution, and then to write a thoroughly researched white paper on the matter. You will incorporate elements of academic writing (such as finding sources, citing and referencing them), business writing (such as breaking paragraphs more frequently, writing concisely, using images and graphs), and general writing (showing strong revision, maintaining flow from one idea to the next). Your final product should show that you are a trusted person in your field.
The first step is to narrow down what you want to write about. Consider:
Your major or industry of primary interest;
A specific problem for which you believe you have a creative solution;
The type of research you’ll have to find in order to support your stance.
You will be evaluated on a number of factors, including:
Using at least 6 outside sources, properly cited and referenced in APA Style
Incorporating at least 1 image per page, including visuals on title page but excluding your references page
Writing between 1,200 and 1,600 words (about 4-6 pages) that includes an Introduction, Background, Proposed Solution, and Conclusion
College writing norms and expectations for the genre, including adequate paragraphs, proper word choice, and appropriate flow between ideas
Clear audience awareness, writing to a group that is outside your industry but interested in the information
Project Submission
You will submit your finished white paper in two ways:
live in my office, as a hard copy
as a digital submission on Canvas

Problem Statement Information
A problem statement is basically what it sounds like: a statement identifying a problem. Often combined with a proposed solution, your white paper assignment requires that you articulate both in separate places.
The resource below is an excellent resource for penning both a problem statement and a proposed solution. However, I want to clarify one thing:
THE EXAMPLES ARE ALMOST ALL TWO SENTENCES, WITH THE FIRST SENTENCE SERVING AS THE PROBLEM STATEMENT AND THE SECOND SENTENCE THE PROPOSED SOLUTION.
Here’s where your assignment differs:
Problem Statement: This should appear at the end of your introduction. You can even introduce it with the header “Problem Statement,” if you want full clarity. Do not include your solution immediately after.
Instead…
Proposed Solution: Place the solution itself as the first sentence in your “Proposed Solution” section.
IN SUMMARY…
Look at the examples on the next page and write your problem statement & proposed solution in line with the advice. However, be sure to separate the two sentences into the appropriate sections.
