...UNIVERSITY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Unreached People Group Project Submitted to Dr. David H. Campbell, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the completion of the course GLST 500-B10 LUO Global Studies Survey by José C. Caballero March 6, 2015 Abstract God has a plan to reconcile His relationship with man after sin entered the world. This plan revolves around making His name known throughout all tribes and nations. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, the Bible presents God’s missionary purpose for humanity. For this reason, Christians involved in missions will travel to dangerous places to proclaim God’s name and saving power. According to the People Groups website, since the year 2014, there are a total of 11,168 people groups in the world and 6,544 are unreached people groups. All unreached people groups are in dire need of the Gospel and it is God’s intention to have His people reach them. One unreached people group who are in desperate need for God is the Koreans in North Korea. With a population of 25,360,100 and a communist government that regulates all aspects of freedom, including religion, for its people, explains why North Koreans are approximately one percent evangelized. North Korea is ranked as the number one country where Christians are most persecuted for their belief. God remains faithful to His intent on reaching all peoples and Koreans are not the exception. In order to bring the...

The Great Commission serves as the primary call and purpose of Christians all around the world. The person that heads this call and purpose and follows the example of Christ is one that may experience many things. This person may experience sacrifice, discomfort, doubt, and maybe even persecution or death. On the other hand, this person will definitely experience purpose, rewarding relationships, God’s power, God’s blessing, and the knowledge that they are right where God wants them to be. This person or person(s) will be spreading the gospel of Christ to areas and people where the gospel has never been heard before, and there is no greater service that one can provide. One of these areas is located in North Africa, in the country of Algeria. Algeria has a population...

A matrix organization model allows a project team to incorporate resources from around the organization regardless of which department employees may work in. * Weak matrix The functional managers have autonomy and power over the project team members. * Balanced The project manager and the functional manager have equal power and autonomy over the project team. * Strong matrix The project manager has autonomy over the project and the project team. Working in a Projectized Organization - In this structure the project manager works with complete autonomy over the project. The project team is on the project full-time and reports only to the project manager. Presenting the Project to Management * When you begin a presentation, you want to capture your audience’s attention. You want to hook them and reel them into your project idea. One of the most effective ways to do this is to start at the end. Tell your audience first what the proposed project will deliver. * The WIIFM, or “What’s In It For Me,” principle is the ability to make a presentation touch the audience members so that they see how they will benefit from the proposal. You have to realistically look at four major points in the WIIFM principle to determine if your plan is viable: * Profitability If the ROI on your project...

...Communication Imperative Project managers must create an environment in which team members understand that communication is part of their job description. They should be comfortable sharing bad as well as good news, and encouraged to offer solutions. It all starts with upholding your end of the bargain. You know the old saying: the three most important factors in buying or selling real estate are “location, location, location.” The key to project management success is communication, communication and communication. A project brings together all the resources of the project team. For the project to succeed, the team members must deliver on their pieces of the project. However, you cannot assume that team members will deliver what was assigned to them or that they will deliver within the allotted timeframe. Goals, expectations and needs must be communicated, from beginning to finish. If you do not create an environment in which people collaborate and communicate, two aspects of the project will suffer. First, you will not get peak performance from the project team. You need the project team’s expertise when defining and refining the project, the project tasks, timeframe and risks. By creating a communicative environment, you encourage people to do their best work. They will be more apt to bring their expertise to the endeavor and deliver on their promises. Second, by not creating the right environment, you can affect the implementation of the project tasks. There will be a sequential...

...motivation 6. Conclusion 7. References INTRODUCTION: According to PMBOK (2008) “Project teams are comprised of team members with diverse backgrounds, expectations, and individual objectives. The overall success of the project depends upon the project team’s commitment, which is directly related to their level of motivation”. Role of motivation is very important, when people are working in form of teams, which is an essential practice while working on projects. As stated above in PMBOK, project team members have diversity in their backgrounds, objectives and expectations, so diverse nature of motivational tools and techniques are required for them, for the successful completion of the projects. To motivate people is also difficult in a sense, because different people are motivated with different incentives or motivational tools. Some are motivated only with fringe benefits (Bonus, salary or wages) while for others recognition, working environment and nature of job are main attractions. Different people are at their different levels of need satisfaction and motivation. Also people are different in their preferences and desires for motivation. According to Maslow’s theory, there are different level of needs, once one level is achieved, it no more serve as a motivational incentive and the motivational levels are shifted to next and higher steps. Here is a very important question Why people have desire to do their best for the organisation? * To continue their job *...

...Case Study 2: Project Leadership Roles at TriHealth Yuvonne Edwards Professor Brett Gordon Human Resource Project Management – HRM517 November 4, 2012 Identify the common roles in a human resource project. Then, analyze these roles to typical human resource functions. There are projects of different sizes that have different ways and requirements on how the people are organized. In small project, little organization structure is needed. There might be a primary sponsor, project manager and a project team. But, for large projects, there are more people involved, and it is important that people understand what they are expected to do, and what role people are expected to fill. Common project roles that may be required for any project would be, Analyst, stakeholder, project managers, facilitator and the customer. The Analyst is responsible for ensuring that the requirements of the business clients are captured and documented correctly before a solution is developed and implemented. In some companies, the person might be called Business System Analyst. (Mochal, T.) The stakeholders are the direct beneficiaries of a project or service, and these people play positive roles in a project. One of the first steps in project management planning is the identification of stakeholders. A stakeholder is a person or group of people who can affect or be affected by a given project. Stakeholders can be individuals...

Stakeholder analysis is a term that refers to the action of analyzing the attitudes of stakeholders towards something such as a project. It is frequently used during the preparation phase of a project to assess the attitudes of the stakeholders regarding the potential changes. Stakeholder analysis can be done once or on a regular basis to track changes in stakeholder attitudes. Stakeholder analysis is a process of systematically gathering and analyzing qualitative Information to determine whose interests should be taken into account when developing and implementing a project.

...1. Project success is determined by a set of various conditions including proper planning, and execution of the project. Usually project’s success is determined by the SMART criteria which stand for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely. In other words for the project to become a success, it has to be well defined, with set deadlines, and done by people who can actually get the job done (achievable). Whenever the project does not meet the SMART criteria, there is a great chance that the project will be of no use to the company that initiates it. The reason why a large number of projects fail to meet their stated objectives, i.e. schedule, cost, scope and performance objectives is because it is rather hard for the project managers to precisely predict the future to which a given project relates. Although, everyone understands that project should meet the SMART criteria, in practice it is rather hard to achieve especially when the corporate resources are scarce (Martin, 232). 2. Effective project manager possesses the attributes applicable to a regular manager (ability to plan, organize, direct and control) as well as specific knowledge/skills related to the projects of a certain industry. The project manager must be able to define the project well and have enough skills to motivate the employees to commit to the project and get it done. 3. There exist a difference between management and leadership. Leadership is the ability to organize and lead people, prompting...

...All of these things need to be evaluated. Being the project manger it requires a lot of change and work to get the new CRM working properly. Project manger duties include planning the work, assessing risk, estimating resources required to accomplish the work, organizing the work, acquiring human and material resources, assigning tasks, directing activities, controlling project execution, reporting progress, and analyzing the results so that the project manger can make a good decision on how to go about the work for this project. There are very important tasks that people have to do like, managing the time that was allowed to complete the project, the cost of the project, and getting the results that you should be getting from this new system. These five major variables during implementing of this system scope, time, quality, cost and risk. All of these variables must be balanced when you are in the planning stage. You must consider the results of what you want out of this project and have realistic estimated of what can be done to reduce the risk to this project. The time and the scope must be adjusted to stay in line with the cost of the project. If you can meet the scope, time quality, cost and the risk you should be able to meet the project needs on time and on budget. The scope defines things that are not included in the project at first but are realized after the fact of the matter like, training of the people that will be working with this new system, and all the...

...BUS 611 Project Planning and Management Dolores E. Ross Patricia White August 27, 2012 Project Plans in the New World The article reviewed Rosenwinkel opinion on project management and the project planning. In the article he stated that project planning could be a waste of time, money and manpower. It has been implemented. (Rosenwinkel, 1995) It is clear we have a different opinion about project planning. In my experience project planning was essential to keeping the project on track and the team focuses. The plan has so many benefits that I can see limited projects that a plan may not be necessary. The projects that are small and have limited people working on it and the project manager is very focus and knowledgeable of the project. I think another consideration is the cost of the project work is money and the success of project is imperative, so a project plan would be the logical way to go. I work for the government and review contract and have sat in on phrase reviews for the various project and I could not see these project progressing without a plan. Now that I have addressed the importance of a project plan I will discuss the project variables and people variables that affect a project. The various variables that a project may have are: Are the project expectation clearly defined and stable; the relative time frame for the completing the project; has a project with similar expectations and similar requirements in expertise been successfully completed...

...Q1 : What are some of the major problems facing the management of Hyten in accepting Formalized Project Management ? There are many problems faced by Hyten Corporation due to accepting Formalized Project Management. One of the problem is trying to decide whether to hire from within or outside the organization. As mentioned by Jason Finney (Assistant Director of Presonnel), Hyten should stop hiring from outside the organization as there are many competent people within the organization who possess MBA degrees in System or Project Management and the familiarity with the company. In his opinion, this would actually be an advantage to the organization. Also, if Hyten continues to hire outsiders, it would create some distention from the current employees. Competent people at Hyten will start filtering to places of new employment. Sue Lyons (Director of Personnel) agreed with Jason that filtration will take place if personals from outside the organization were hired to manage Projects. Also, Hyten can expect backlash from people who have to teach employees their new roles . According to John Rich (Director of Engineering), there is no need to “change a winning combination” as the implementation of Project Management would “mess things up”. In his view, the current system at Hyten has a good chain of command and the new matrix would only create problems. The main problem addressed by John is that the Engineering Department is a very technical...

...JOMO KENYATTA UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY Nairobi CBD Campus Department: Human Resource Development Course: MSc. Project Management. HEPM 3111: PROJECT QUALITY &RISK MANAGEMENT Assignment 2: Summary of Articles Estimations in Project Management In essence, estimates are forecasts of the future; unfortunately, people are not very good at forecasting. While it is difficult to make forecasts of natural phenomena such as the weather; it is even harder to make forecasts of any processes that include people, their knowledge and behavior. Project management is one of these processes. Estimation is a very important step in modeling and decision analysis. Without proper assessments of project duration, finish time, cost, resources, success rate and other parameters, it is almost impossible to select a proper alternative and ultimately make a good decision. Accurate estimation cannot be done without valid inputs. The information for estimations can only come from two sources: 1) Historical data or data about previous similar projects. This data can be captured in the project manager’s brain or obtained as a result of data analysis. 2) Measurements of the current project’s performance. Analysis of current project performance project makes is possible to forecast what will happen in the future. The human brain processes this information extremely fast using certain simplification techniques. In many cases, they work very well...
