Case Project 4-1: Using System-Monitoring Tools
 You recently became the server administrator for a company. As soon as you walked in the door, users were telling you the network is running slowly quite often, but they couldn’t tell you when it happened or how much it slowed down. What tests and measurements could you use to try to determine what’s going on?
Case Project 5-1: Deploying Remote Access
 You’re consulting for a company that uses Windows Server 2012 R2 servers in a domain environment. All computers are running Windows 8.1.

The solution should provide access to the company network when employees have an Internet connection without them having to specifically initiate a connection. The solution should be secure and allow IT staff to perform maintenance tasks via Remote Desktop sessions on the laptops when they’re connected locally or remotely. What remote access solution do you recommend, and why? Are there any configuration options you should consider for this solution?
List the Case title, questions and answers.

Writing Requirements

groups that have an active interest in an organization

Overview

Stakeholders are individuals or groups that have an active interest in an organization. Stakeholders and stakeholder groups typically include employees, vendors, communities, government agencies, customers, investors, and lenders. Different stakeholders have different interests, attitudes, and priorities. Effective communication ensures that they receive relevant information and develop positive attitudes to your organization in the scenario.

As the regional marketing director of a theme park, you are in the process of designing a phased marketing strategy for reopening all parks after a safety incident. You have already helped other marketing directors understand the importance of having a good marketing mix to inspire customer loyalty; now help them with a stakeholder communication plan. Develop a communication plan that will ensure stakeholders understand the steps the organization is taking to benefit them.

Three aspects to consider for effective stakeholder communication are the interest of stakeholders in the organization, the impact of the reopening decision on stakeholders, and the relevance of information going to stakeholders.

Prompt

Complete the communication plan for the stakeholders of the organization in the course scenario. Refer to the Exemplar Communication Grid for an example of how the template can be used.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

  1. Identify the three key stakeholders (a minimum of one internal and two external groups) in the reopening of the park.
    • Internal Stakeholders
      • Employees
      • Departments
      • Management
    • External Stakeholders
      • Customers
      • Suppliers
      • Lenders
      • Communities
    • Use the Communication Grid Template to complete this step.
  2. Identify and analyze the information about each stakeholder group and their need for communication. Use the Communication Grid Template to complete this step. Consider the following points:
    • Stakeholder’s interest in the park’s reopening
    • Assessment of the impact on stakeholder (low, medium, or high)
    • Information and communication needs of the stakeholder
    • Communication methods to and with the stakeholder
  3. Identify two crisis communication methods for communicating with stakeholders.
    • What forms of communication can be used to quickly communicate with internal stakeholder groups?
    • What forms of communication can be used to communicate with external stakeholder groups?

Guidelines for Submission

Submit a 1- to 2-page Word document, which includes your responses and the completed Communication Grid Template, using double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on style

counter-radicalization program

ANSWER POST 250 WORDS MIN****

Discussion Questions: Compare and contrast at least two counter-radicalization program. What are the similarities and differences between them? Which particular counter or de-radicalization program do you think is or would be the most effective when employed in North America for those already radicalized?  

****REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN EACH****

1.  Two very interesting deradicalization or rehabilitation programs were described in this week’s readings, the Minnesota Terrorism Disengagement and Deradicalization Program (Kaplan, 2019) and the Sri Lankan program for working with former Tamil Tigers (Souris & Singh, 2018). The primary reason that these two programs stand out was their use of reeducation and reintroduction back into society. Both of the programs focus on addressing the root causes that led to an individual being drawn to an extreme ideology. The programs work to help the individual to fill the void, left by the extremist ideology or removal from organization, with career training, community involvement, and even help with rebuilding personal relationships. 

Both of the deradicalization programs focus on reintegrating the individual back into society but they differ in their approach to determining the cause of the radicalization. In Sri Lanka, the government is working to correct the societal issues that led an entire population of its citizens to an extremist, anti-governmental cause, and eventually civil war. The program focuses on the societal shift from imprisonment back into society. Experts have acknowledged that avoiding reintegration back into the extremist organization is easier in this case because the Tigers have been eliminated (Souris & Singh, 2018).

Minnesota’s program is similar to Sri Lanka’s but it uses societal reintegration and deradicalization as a counter offer to jail time. The program works to find the root causes of extremists’ radicalization but it is able to keep the individual on the correct path by using the threat of imprisonment (Kaplan, 2019). This style of a program seems highly affective for a North American style extremist because it helps remove them from the societal factors that led to their removal from normal society. It also has a forcing function to hold them accountable for their actions, which are being monitored.

2.  In Minnesota there is a program which was recently developed to de-radicalize terrorists. This program operates under the umbrella of supervised release for convicted terrorists with aims to counsel and de radicalize them through psychological, emotional, and religious counseling (Kaplan, 2019). This program is the first in the United States to actually address the issues regarding de-radicalization. Other countries also have similar types of programs and one of the more successful programs was developed in Germany. The program termed EXIT, began in 1989 and had put out a number of successful cases. This program is specifically for helping at the psychological and emotional level and making the individual look at a different manner of thinking (n.a., 2022). Both of these programs examine the psychological backgrounds of the individuals and work at find the originating point of the extremist behavior. However, the US program seeks reintegration as the end goal, but the Germany program mainly focuses on changing the behavior and that’s where the assistance ends.

Changing people’s minds is not an easy task especially when there is a deeply rooted cultural and religious purpose for their violent actions. I think that there is going to be a lot of trial and error in a de-radicalization program because there is no single model or mold which will fit everyone. I think both of these programs do have merit, but I feel that the reintegration model currently being used in the US is the better option. By focusing on reintegration, it allows for an opportunity to change the behavior pattern as opposed to letting the individual’s thought and behavior patterns grow into more of the same. It can be a risk letting those who are committed terrorists out into the general public, but as long as there was a effective supervision and very specific ground rules laid out with consequences for breaking those rules, it could be a possible option for de-radicalizing terrorists
