What are my needs or gaps when I would examine a marketing department? How much would each area cost?
- Lack of feedback from customers
- It would cost me to create a way to learn more about the customers, whether it be from surveys, or other forms of feedback
- Improve time management skills
- It would cost money for someone to come and discuss time management skills, not to mention loss of money and output initially to go through a seminar.
- Improve communication between subsystems
- I would have to hire someone to be the in between, or create or incorporate a technological system into the current system.
- Examine the various issues of the work environment, motivation, incentives etc
- I would have to hire an instructional designer lol.
To examine front end analysis I would incorporate Romi's "circle" model in considering the various factors involved with the situations.

Why should my eventual ID model consider using front end analysis?
Reason 1) Front end analysis of a problem sets up the rest of the project. It allows someone to put the facts together and figure out where you need to go. It also helps determine what the actual problem is. Someone might think it might be a problem with personnel but in reality its the environment the personnel are in that causes poor work.
2) It allows you to figure out what power players you need to settle the problem, assuming there is one. One can figure out if you need or subtract things from the various issues of the problem, whether it be environmental or a problem with people involved with it.
3) Finally it allows you to come back at the end to examine were you successful in solving the problem. So if I know I need 10 new doors, and I only get 8 doors, we figure out what happened and why we couldn't get the extra 2.
What can I take from chapter 6's to inform our model?
It allowed me to observe these models and help me figure out what these models did and didn't have in common. We can then build upon them, or go back and look at a certain area and examine it more carefully.

Module I- Practical Exercise II
1) For the purposes of this exercise, identify a preferred professional context for practicing instructional development.
I have selected to use a marketing department in a corporate setting as my professional context.
2) Using this professional context as a referent, identify or describe the following related terms:
A) The system being served would be a marketing department within a large corporation who works with promoting a product or a service that the corporation uses..
B) The Suprasystem within my system would be the actual corporation itself.
C) Two subsystems would be a creative team in charge of thinking of ideas to promote a product or service and a design/art team in charge of creating and "beautifying" an idea for promotion.
D) Two information systems that would or should exist would be communication with polling companies who could determine mainstream societies thought and feelings about certain issues or topics. Another information system would be the world wide web where one could research what is currently being used and or the future of marketing (I.E. Viral marketing)
E) One example of a subsystem interface would a project manager who would speak to the head of the marketing who would then speak to his or her boss who would speak to the CEO.
