Consider the following scenario, continued from the Unit 1 Individual Project:

Big D Incorporated needs to prepare an assessment regarding the feasibility of making a recommendation for expansion into another market. As the business analyst, your assignment is to prepare a short presentation for the Board of Directors that apply concepts learned in Unit 1 and concepts from Unit 2 to make the necessary recommendations and justifications for those recommendations. You will need to compare and contrast the varying markets to make the best recommendation possible. Complete the following:

  • Download the reports for the United States from this Web site. The Web site provides free demographical services where one can choose from a variety of criteria and generate reports based on the U.S. Census data. This particular file contains 4 reports:
    • General Summary
    • Census Trend 1980 to 2000 Summary
    • Occupation and Employment Summary
    • Income Summary (based on the entire United States)
  • Download the reports for zip code 60614 from this Web site. This particular file contains 4 reports:
    • General Summary
    • Census Trend 1980 to 2000 Summary
    • Occupation and Employment Summary
    • Income Summary based on the U.S. zip code 60614
  • Using all 4 demographic reports (General Summary, Census Trend 1980 to 2000 Summary, Occupation and Employment Summary, and Income Summary) for the United States and zip code 60614, prepare a 1-page summary slide explaining how your territory differs from the national profile. Feel free to note anything that you found surprising in the data.
  • Use the BI software you choose to depict information from these reports.
  • Prepare a presentation of 4–5 slides of your major findings. You may group a category of data from the Total United States and zip code 60614, and create a graph to show how they differ. The presentation should have at least 2 graphs and a headline that summarizes a key takeaway from the graph.

Your presentation should include 5–6 slides in PowerPoint, plus title and reference slides with speaker notes (75-word minimum per slide).

 

For assistance with the usage of Tableau for analysis and reporting, review and use the instructions below. Those should be helpful if you are having problems with the software usage or data. However, you do not need to use Tableau. For BI software usage such as Excel, resort to using the Help functions and other resources on the Internet and in videos to learn how to use Excel to create graphical presentations including table usage.

The instructions to create a bar graph in Tableau (optional) or in another BI software are as follows.

  1. Open the assignment CTU instructions.
  2. Download the BI software.
  3. Create your Tableau Public Account.
  4. Click the download link for the 60614 file (file will open in Excel).
  5. Click the download link for the U.S. file (file will open in Excel).
  6. The following are some options:
    1. Create separate demographical worksheets (e.g., Educational Attainment or Household Income). Include zip code and U.S. data.
      • See a sample of the file available with column headings and extraneous blanks.

 

  1. Create a file with data organized without extraneous rows and columns but including headings.
  2. The idea is to clean up the file before usage. Separating files and worksheets may be the best way to make this happen
  3. Note that in the real situation, when using BI software, you will want to ensure that your data are clean and that you have similar data in your files.
  4. Save the file(s) on your computer.
  5. Open Tableau. Then do a File > Open > Open on your saved file.
  6. At the bottom of the screen on the left, click on the little box next to Sheet 1 (looks like a bar graph with a plus in the top left corner).
  7. Under “Measures” (on the left), you should see “Chicago” and “U.S.” Click on “U.S.,” and pull it into rows at the top of the screen. Then, click on Chicago and pull it over into rows.
  8. Under “Dimensions” on the left, you should see “Household Income.” Click on “Household Income,” and pull it into column.
  9. In the second column from the left, you should see “Measures.”
  10. In the top right corner, you should see a “show me” box illustrating ways you can view the data based on the values you have chosen. To do side-by-side comparisons, put your cursor over the rightmost picture on the third line with the side-by-side blue and orange bars. Click on it. Your graph should appear on the page. You can play around with how you want to portray your data.
  11. To save in Tableau Public, click File > Save to Tableau Public as… > give the file a descriptive name. You will be asked to log into Tableau Public using your e-mail and password.
  12. When your graph is saved in public, at the bottom right, there is a download button. Decide how you will save the file. (You can create an image and name the .png file. It will be saved in Tableau Public.)
  13. After the file is saved, open the .png file, and edit or copy the graph.
  14. Open your PowerPoint file, and then paste (special) it on the slide. You can adjust the size.
  15. Repeat the same in Tableau opening of any other prepped and cleaned file.

Note: Measure values are your number fields; measure names are the descriptors.

Describe the impact the 2009 expansion of the Rooney Rule had on diversity within the NFL. 3. What should the NFL do to improve its diversity on all organizational levels? Provide specific examples.

National Football League (NFL) Diversity and Inclusion Analysis

Your team will work collaboratively to create a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 12-20 slides. The title slide, reference slide, and section header slides (if included) do not count towards the 12-20 slide requirement. Students should use the material presented in the NFL’s TIDES report, as well as information obtained through independent research, to complete the project. All sources must be cited in APA format, with parenthetical in-text citations throughout the presentation, and a reference slide in APA format must be included at the end.

Requirements

Since you will not be presenting in person to the class, you will either need to (a) include detailed comments and information in the “notes” section at the bottom of each slide to expand upon your slides’ bullet points, OR (b) include voice narration as part of your presentation (this can include one or more members from your group).

The following elements must be included in the PowerPoint presentation:

• Begin by addressing the following general question: How do you define optimal diversity within an organization?

o The rest of the presentation should focus on the specific professional sports organization (the NFL or NBA) your team has chosen to analyze.

• Organization profile (2-3 slides suggested) o This should be more of a diversity profile, and not a general overview of the organization itself.

Summarize the information from your organization’s TIDES report (hint: check out the executive summary), and supplement with other outside sources if necessary.

• Present statistics regarding demographics related to your organization. o This will require outside research; the organizations’ official websites are good sources for this. o At a minimum, you should outline the workforce statistics for your organization. Look for employee

breakdown by gender, ethnicity, age, disability, etc. (keep in mind you might not be able to find information for all of these categories – just gather as much as you can).

o In addition, include any demographic information you can find regarding the player base, coaches, owners, and/or audience.

• Key stakeholders – who is (or should be) responsible for the implementation of diversity initiatives at the organization, and from whom is it critical to get buy-in for those initiatives?

o Identify roles and responsibilities for those involved (this should include a range of people including organizational leadership, HR, managers, and employees).

• Discussion questions (each question should have its own dedicated slide(s), for a total of at least three slides for this section).

1. The Rooney Rule was established in 2003 to increase the number of minority coaches in the NFL. Has it been effective? Explain your answer.

2. Describe the impact the 2009 expansion of the Rooney Rule had on diversity within the NFL. 3. What should the NFL do to improve its diversity on all organizational levels? Provide specific examples.

• Strategic focus o How do current diversity initiatives tie into the overall business/organizational strategy? o Could a more diverse and inclusive workforce benefit the organization? Why or why not? o What metrics or other methods should the organization use to measure the effectiveness of any

current or recommended diversity initiatives? Provide specific examples. • Conclusion/wrap-up • Reference slide (APA format)
