Mr. Torbett, in the case about the Home Builders Institute (HBI), I noticed some key problems related to the Structural, Human Resources, Political and Symbolic frames. I will go through each of these problems in order to identify which frame it relates to, what the problem is, why it was caused, a recommendation for fixing the problem and any possible ramifications. This will provide some potential future step as you progress in your journey at HBI.
Structural Frame

The organization wants to perform at its best, but the toolkits it uses lack instruction regarding the implementation of Standards of Excellence and Elements of Success. I recommend that the organization rewrite the toolkit so that anyone who uses it knows what is expected at HBI and what it values. This will take time and experience because it is not easy to identify what is expected and how that should be used in your daily routine.
Another core value related concept stems from the frustration that is higher when contracting with partners who were not familiar with HBI’s guiding philosophies. This is caused from not choosing partnerships who are familiar with the strict government levels of accountability and the philosophies that guide HBI in their decision making process. I recommend they reconsider the partnership that have been established with the organizations that do not have their same values. This will be difficult at first because you may lose many of the connections that you worked so hard to make, but it is important to work with people who share our ideals. Also, they may see a loss in numbers of youth served because they have fewer organizations to account

“To make your company competitive and attractive to job candidates you have to offer an exceptional total benefits package” (Obringer, 2003, para.1). This is especially true in the current economic environment. The employee’s needs are changing so businesses are having to rethink their compensation and benefits packages. The home improvement industry is no exception to this phenomenon. Companies like Ace Hardware, Lowes Home Improvement, and The Home Depot have had to adapt their benefits packages to stay competitive in an industry with an ever-changing employee demographic. The following pages will include a comparison of all the benefits offered by Ace Hardware, Lowes Home Improvement, and The Home Depot, as well as, a glimpse into whether or not their strategies seem to have been successful. The majority of the benefits are available to all employees, but some of them are only available to corporate team members. To make sure that all of the available benefits are covered and for comparisons sake, the focus of this report will be on the corporate level of benefits. Also due to the wide salary ranges between low level employees and corporate employees, this report will not focus on salaries.

CareGroup was formed on the basis of three major Massachusetts hospitals; Beth Israel, Deaconess, and Mount Auburn (McFarlan, F. Warren, and Robert D. Austin, pg.1). After a surprising merger of Mass General and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, all three hospitals in CareGroup suffered great financial losses (McFarlan, F. Warren, and Robert D. Austin, pg.2). Due to the multi-million dollar financial losses, CareGroup felt they needed a change, which is when they added Halamka to their team, naming him their CIO (McFarlan, F. Warren, and Robert D. Austin, pg.3). Being in a financial state of duress, it is undoubtedly crucial for a new CIO to have the technical skills and knowledge needed to manage a health care facility. In reference to this point, Halamka had stated, “…I know all the technologies, I program in 12 languages, and I’ve written books on Unix system administration. I’m a doctor, so I understand the clinical domain and the technical requirements” (McFarlan, F. Warren, and Robert D. Austin, pg.3). Clearly this exemplifies his qualifications as the newly instated CIO.
